Who do you think will be most surprising that they aren't going to get traded and the most surprising that they do? For me, the Canadiens will surprise people by trading Alex Galchenyuk, though surprisingly, Erik Karlsson will stay with the Ottawa Senators. I know it shouldn't be surprising though to a lot of people it will. Everyone's saying he WILL be traded for sure. No, he will NOT be traded.
Well, as a Hawks fan I would be surprised if Anisimov or Hartman were traded, their names have been mentioned but I just cant see either of them moved unless a GM has an offer Bowman just cant refuse.
Really, I would be surprised if anyone outside of Wingles, Bouma, Jurco, Sharp or Rutta were traded.

Are you talking about everyone on here? Bob McKenzie has outright said on multiple posts that the most likely scenario is that Karlsson doesn't move before the deadline.

Ah. So not everyone. I think the Karlsson trade is gonna be something like the Duchene trade. Duchene was thrown around in rumors for the better part of 2 seasons before he was traded. Karlsson will be traded but it won't be until midseason next year, a multiple team deal with a ridiculous sign and trade contract to boot

And who does Dorion answer to? I mean, it's clear to see in their moves. Moving out Turris for Duchene. Trading away Phaneuf for a guy they're likely to buy out in the offseason. Offloading Brassard.
Edit: And he may take less money to stay in Ottawa.
He has already said he's going to get paid what he's worth. Which isn't a pay cut for Ottawa. He has also said that he want to win a cup, if Ottawa don't right the ship early next year/do something in the off, it's not going to fill him with confidence.

Why on earth would a player many consider to be the best defender in the league take a PAY CUT to stay with a team that doesn't appear to be anywhere close to cup contention?
Stamkos took a cut to stay with Tampa, yes, but Tampa was clearly one of the most talented rosters in the league when he did so. Ottawa doesn't have that luxury.

But the difference is that Karlsson is a superstar, those guys are not ... look at Montreal, not re-signing Markov or Radulov, trading Subban, etc. Sure, Subban could be called a superstar but Price was their best player. Price re-signed. It's different with superstars.

Montreal hasn't been great this year, but they were considered by most to be a playoff team with Price resigned. Also, goalies are handled slightly differently than skaters.
Again, what reason would Karlsson have to take a pay cut to stay with a rebuilding team in the prime of his career?

When did i say anything about how good the Habs have been this year? They didn't keep Subban, Radulov, or Markov, and i may be forgetting more, but Price is the superstar of the team, and he's not going anywhere. Sure, the Sens have got rid of some guys, but Karlsson's a very different story.

Again... When Price signed his extension... He did so with the belief that their roster was a playoff contending roster at least.
Do you think that players don't care about the performance of their team with they are at UFA status?

It doesn't matter though, because we're talking about the trade deadline here. Even if they do move Karlsson (which i still believe is very unlikely), it's not now, they'll try to sign him first. And you're completely ignoring the fact that he might re-sign. Tell me: what are the chances in your opinion that Karlsson re-signs in Ottawa?

Currently, if Ottawa continues on this path? 25%, maybe. Karlsson is going to want to go to a contender. Are you disputing that idea?
Well, now that it's after the TDL I think this honor goes to Mike Green as the player that wasn't traded, and I'm shocked that Ryan Hartman was traded - but the package Bowman got was a deal he couldn't refuse - I mean he got more than Evander Kane so, yea....
