Sabres would be out of their mind to add a 1st

Karlsson for Skinner 1 for 1 is more likely

I debated making it a 2nd and removing SJ 3rd but this site is so broken I'm sure sharks fans would go insane

Perhaps he'd rather play on an up and coming team than on a geriatric team

"Up and coming" should be the slogan for the Sabres at this point, seems to have been like that for a decade.

Well, I gotta hold on to something, lol.

New hockey people, Quinn, power, Krebs, Peterka, cozens, dahlin all 21 or younger, 3 firsts is a loaded draft...here's hoping

If Sabres are willing to move a late 1st for EK, at least add Skinner to the return. Or some retention.

Karlsson would Veto this in a heart beat, Sharks would probably decline.
Few issues trading Karlsson,
#1 He has a no movement clause, meaning he has to approve any trade. has said he likes the sharks and the organization and where it's headed (he sees something we don't I guess)
#2 issue is behind Burns and Karlsson they haze zero in the way of RH D.
#3 other than Merkley (who has looked good the last few days but is no where near top 4 min ready for at least 2-3 more years, if ever) we have no prospect depth at RD anywhere close to NHL ready
#4 Wilson's ego! he wont trade Karlsson and admit he made a mistake!

I would probably do a Skinner for Karlsson deal if I was the GM, but why would Buffalo? they have a ton of really good D prospects right now and a bunch of young talent and plenty of cap space! why pick up an overpaid declining D man and burden themselves for 5 years at 11.5 mil a year?

best idea for Buffalo is do the same thing for the next 2-3 years... find decent cheaper vet depth and leadership signed short term, open a ton of spots for young kids to fight for and let the roster build itself through the draft and prospect pool

If you want to really make a contender and a perennial playoff team then...
Sign the best scouts, trainers, and coaches you can. revamp the medical department and facilities, eliminate the dysfunction and make Buffalo a place players WANT to come!

not trying to be a dick but the medical staff has quite a few blunders (Eichel for example) I've seen an ton about locker room and management dysfunction, and I've seen player after player demand a trade and want our (Reinhart and Eichel and Ulmark as the most recent examples.

Sharks get a asset and dump Karlsson contract, if Wilson doesn't do this deal it's only because he doesn't want to admit it was a bad trade for the Sharks. Karlsson has been alright but not worth his contract, and he will continue to regress. With so many aging vets on long term contracts Sharks would really have to take any deal like this.
