Karlsson won't get traded.

Maybe another prospect but this seems like a good trade.

A good start but if Ottawa did this they would lose a fanbase regardless of how this sets up the future. They are already having problems selling tickets if he goes and there is no marquee player involved that will help sell tickets OMG. You should hear the radio with just the Idea of Ottawa entertaining trade talks. The Ottawa people are crazy for this guy and he is arguably the best d man in the league and top 3 players in the league in his prime. You will need more to get him. The only way you get him without a marquee player would be if he refused to sign an extension with ottawa and it was clear he didn't want to be here.This will be like the Lindros or gretzky trade in the cost to get this player and the ottawa fallout would be the same as it was in Edmonton.

I live in Ottawa but am not a fan of the team at all. I only go to games to see big name teams and Montreal lol

you make a really good point. Value wise i think it is fair but you are right.
