That Karlsson trade is real bad for OTT

agreed

Ii thought the trade was bad for oilers. karlsson is just a one year player. rhn is good on a midl length control and that pick is maybe top ten again. lucic and Ryan play and contracts are equally bad.

I really like the title but the last thing you need to do is get OTT knocked up... you should probably pull out...

RNH sees a lot of good money come their way and could make way for a nice extension. However the one issue is that Ryan's is bigger so it could also backfire.

I think that's a pretty good trade return for Karlsson considering how OTT literally has 0 leverage in any trade negotiations.

Could get better return for Stone

Don't you judge my sex life!

Much like the return for Pacioretty, both sides seem to feel they should've gotten more - that's usually the sign of a trade that's fair, or darn close to it.

My breakdown of why the return is what it is: Ryan and Lucic are both on long term contracts that are overpayments. Ideally Ottawa is going to be icing a lot of ELC over the next 3 seasons and LUCIC is a good guy to have in the line up to keep the opposition from beating them up too badly. Finishing body checks are fine, but when they start being a thorn in the side of our young stars I want someone who can step in and tell them to knock it off or die. RYAN still puts up points and, if on a line with speed and skill, can contribute so I think Ryan is worth slightly more.

I should have mentioned that, in this fantasy trade, Karlsson is willing to extend so he is not just a one year player unless Edmonton choses him to be so. So RNH and a first seems like a fair ask. And, since Edmonton isn't the only one interested and, as noted above, Ryan contributes more than Lucic, I added mid range prospect Maksivmov. Yes Maksimov has a lot of potential but according to the 25 under 25 for Edmonton he ranks 15th, so while hopes are high, he's a 5th round draft pick who has yet to turn pro, so he's not a sure thing by any means.

This is MICHEAL STONE coming to Ottawa, NOT Mark Stone going to Calgary. The Flames need to create a lot of cap space if they hope to resign Bennett, Tkachuk and more. To be honest I think Ottawa might be overpaying on this and the 2nd round pick should do it but I was feeling generous.

Sorry yah now I realized that and I agree that is a bit of overpayment
