Yeah I'd never make that deal.
Karlsson is 6.5M this year and next then UFA.
No guarantee he re-signs in Philly.
Simmonds for sure. One of Myers or Morin - not both and a 1st round pick.

Personally, I wouldn't trade for Karlsson without the guarantee of an extension considering how much he's going to cost in assets even without one. I know he isn't eligible for one til July 1, but I'd need to know the extension is as close to done as legally possible.

very true and they have stock piled the assets, Hextall always knew at the right time he would have to use some of those assets to make a push. Get the winger upgrade your bottom 3 and see what happens

Too much
- Marc D


That’s crazy, plus his cap hit will decimate the team. To me, he’s lost a step since his knee issue, and he has plenty of turnovers. I don’t see what the big deal about him is. Is he good, of course, is he worth what some people are projecting, no way! Not on board at all!

The question is, is this the right time? I don't think it is personally.

Nope!

I’d try to land a guy like Odouya for relatively little, and try to upgrade a winger to plug in on the 3rd or 4th line for far less than acquiring Karlsson. It doesn’t upset the chemistry, nor create cap issues on his next contract. The Flyers got here by being prudent.....acquiring assets, and developing young talent. I see him as blowing up everything they have accomplished, and adding him would not make the Flyers the cup favorite. Just my humble opinion.

Since he would be their property they could sign him to an extension any time they wanted to.

But even then I can see that not happening for the sheer fact that their owner is a massive cheap skate. Probably doesn't want to risk being stuck with that contract at all.

Karlsson is signed through 18/19. By CBA rule you cannot sign a player to a contract extension until he is in the last year of his current contract which would be July 1.
