Karlsson is getting 10 at minimum

Karlson and Point get alot more.

EHHHH....remember state tax free ride, then add in that he might take a little less to go play at tampa as it is

But how is he getting an 8 year contract on Tampa when there is no trade for his rights with the Sharks?

And how are they going to sign Vasilevskiy next summer with those cap hits?

Yeah, but not every player wants to play out their career in a town where 90% of the people don't even know there's a hockey team. Karlsson will stick to the Northeast. The Islanders have all that money they're not paying Tavares. That would be a good home for him. Rangers would be better. Hoping it's not Montreal. I'd rather see other teams wreck their cap pictures for the next decade.

lol Sharks dont own his rights anymore buddy. Hes an UFA

I think point gets 8-8.5 mil and also Palat is worth a 2nd in my eyes.

I do think he wants to be in the northeast but he has an outstanding realtionship with Hedman. Wouldnt shock me is all

I'd love to see him go to Tampa. Can't wait to see how they untangle their cap mess. They'll get 140 points in the regular season and still probably lose in the first round.

Actually they do until June 23rd as only they can negotiate with a player/agent until that deadline. That’s why teams trade for negotiating rights up through the draft.

But you obviously don’t understand that nor maximum length of a contract being only 7 years unless the player signs with his current club.

I didnt see the 8th year in this, I completely understand the max for an UFA is 7 years

UFA YEARS CAP HIT
Karlsson, Erik 8 $8,900,000

Have you ever even been to Tampa?

Disneyland forces out en masse .. banned .. no damaged goods

This is pointless because it will take more than going from 6th round to 4th round for the rangers to even consider taking Callahan.

Many times. More dog racing fans than hockey fans there.

Okay man, you clearly haven't been here in years. ?

Twice last winter. There are bums in seats (at $69 tickets) but the Lightning could die tomorrow and 90% of Tampa dwellers wouldn't give a sh*t.

You honeslty have no idea what you are talking about. It's cool man. Some people just end up gathering the wrong information.

Sorry, bud. Tampa ain't no hockey town. Attendance is fine, especially when the team is rocking, but Steve Stamkos could streak naked over the Sunshine Skyway and no one would recognize him.

If you really believe this to be true, you're dead wrong. Énjoy missing le pláyoffs.

As opposed to your extra two games? At least the Habs didn't disappoint.

The Habs definitely did not disappoint. Love seeing them miss the playoffs every year.
