Is a less than zero total balance of dignity even possible?

As per twitterings;

Brian Lawton‏Verified account @brianlawton9

A # of GM"s are telling me they are moving on from Erik Karlsson sweepstakes. Price is "stupidly high". Had a few guys say "they are willing to wait to see if he makes it to UFA rather than do something stupid. Not 1 appears willing to even consider reworking their club for him.

The price for a near PPG two time Norris winning defenseman should be stupidly high.

fixed...

If any deal for Karlsson, has to include Bobby Ryan like TSN is reporting, then pass...4 more years at $7.25M for Bobby Ryan won't help any team.

They should get a high-quality 4-piece package this year imo.


i suspect they're looking for 6 pieces + dumping bobby ryan. good luck with that.


doorion will overplay his hand and they'll settle for a low quality 4-piece package next year as a rental.

I think we can both agree it would help the Habs tremendously. Do it Bergevin.

I'd love Karlsson on this team.
Although I love Tavares, Karlsson would probably more of an add to the team than Tavares.

Not sure who could be Karlsson's parnter on D though - maybe Dermott most fit going forward?

you (frank) yourself cap wise. even if the sens retain $2M.

you'll still need +15M for karlsson and ryan long-term. it's going to kill any deal.

You don't need a rooster for eggs, might as well get 2 hens.

Cause Dermott is our most defensively responsible D-man?

He's play well down there; I mean honestly, besides faceoffs, is Moore an upgrade over him?

Everyone knows you pay premium price to get a top 3 defenseman in the league so you can have the chance to pair him up with a borderline NHL player.

I'm worried Karlsson's ankle is hooped. I would be wary of him, even as a free agent.

For Karlsson and Bobby Ryan?

Gardiner, JvR, Komarov and Martin, just to make the salaries somewhat comparable.

Bingo

I know he is not the best defensively, but some guys have been blowing by him and he has looked awfully slow on those plays. Could be like Forsbergs foot issues that ended his career?

I would give up former #3rd Overall Pick & Power Forward Nathan Horton, former 7th Overall Pick & Slick Goal Scoring Winger Joffery Lupul, Hulking Stay At Home Defenseman Roman Polak and First Line 2-Way Center Tyler Bozak for -27 defenseman eric karlssun, 4C john gabe pagiroux and a 1st.
