It really dosen't make any sense for the Rangers to give up any assets for Karlsson when they can go after him in FA if they want next year. It's not like they're on the cusp of winning a SC right now.

So why would Karlsson want to go there as a free agent? To get the summer's off? He's doing that now.

That's funny, especially coming from a Leafs fan.

STOP WITH THE RANGER poop!

They aren't going to compete for first half of EK65's contract and Henrik will be gone and they have no goalie prospects. NJ is not a long shot but at the top of the list and fits EK's style and team objective (as do other teams but they have the space).

Seems like every player is going to LA, NY or Toronto.

If he hits the market, most of the teams will try to sign him...

Right, there wouldn't be any guarantee they'd get him, but it just dosen't make sense to trade for him. They could start to trend upward again in 19-20' so he might see it as a team on the upswing. @Leniwm: They do have a top goalie prospect in Shestorykin.

Fine, don’t like +/-? For his career his 5 v 5 Corsi is 50.1, and his Fenwick 5 v 5 is 49.1.

Is that worth $64,000,000?

Too much IMO. He's not that great of a defenseman from what I see. He can score but defensively, not impressed

Yes, get him out of Arizona and put him on an even capable team and he is light years better, or at least his stats show he is.

THIS is the level of analysis the world needs; raw Corsi and Fenwick numbers without any context! If your plus/minus argument fails, just default to buzzwords
