Definitely a no on that for Karlsson with retention. Foegele has zero value for a rebuilding San Jose and if you want us to take him he'll have to come with a pick (trading him somewhere else is a better idea). The prospect of trading him at the deadline is a bonus, but not a guarantee so that also holds little value. A 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd is probably barely enough for EK65 without retention, except these are all low picks and mostly in a less desirable year. 3.5m over 4 years will not be free.

I think you’re the first sanjose guy to complain about it. Edmonton fans usually do more haha. But I understand your point
