They dont owe it to him to trade him today, per his contract he is signed another year. The issue with Karlsson and Ottawa is the way the owner treated him and called him out in the locker room over an uber fee.

We all want him traded of course, but he needs to be a professional about it. He signed the contract.

Becomes poisonous. Not something you want. He'll be a pro and play out his contract if need be. But (frank)ing around with your most important player is bad business.

Surprised there hasn’t been rumors at all

I dont disagree, but thats on them (their team, franchise) so if they dont do it, thats their loss.

usually there is a lot more going on by now.. been quiet.. i hope that means nothing

if Botts keeps things very tight, and as posters with connections have validated, wonder how these media heads seem to think they have insight....unless they obtain this insight from looser connections on other teams.

Disgree.
The owner of Ottawa is an idiot and does not show the same respect.
The owner owes it to his players to put forth the money, he is not doing so.

It's the other teams, likely.

I still can't believe we didn't do anything last year. Like, what the hell. You know you're not going to re-sign a guy, why would you hold him? Kulikov? Great job, Tim. Way to stick to your guns and hold out for that third instead of the fourth.

Ok, bottom line is, they aren't paying him so trade him.

OK, I hear you, but the guy signed a contract, and even if you say "trade me now" they dont have to. I understand the respect part, that is owners / teams problem after not going to effect what Karlsson gets paid on next deal.

well, if the supposed cancers are gone after today, ie Kane and Lehner, that might change the culture significantly. I'm referring to some posts over the weekend about these two not being good influences in the room. Addition by subtraction perhaps. Of course I ain't in the room so just going by what has been posted on here. Maybe it starts becoming a desirable place

It will become a desirable place when we start winning and becoming a playoff team. I dont buy into the cancer thing. If anything, Lehner has been one of the more outspoken leaders in the locker room. He wants to win. Our reputation is so shot. I dont see why any player would want to come here other that for a big pay check.
