That Martinez contract was such a bad move by Vegas.

I'm pretty confused. This is widely regarded as one of the worst contracts in the league. The Sharks would need to retain half the salary to have a chance of moving Karlsson. Also, the Vegas blue line is extremely solid. They really don't need any blue line support for the next couple of years. This trade would be disastrous for the Knights.

He's playing really well right now. He's leading the league in blocked shots by a wide margin. I'd rather have Martinez over Karlsson, on these contracts, on my team by a mile.

I'd rather have Pacioretty then either of them.
