Thread: OK ERIK. . . .OVER TO YOU!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Great strategy by Karlsson and his agent. He knows a year in advance what teams will be willingly to pay in long term deal, instead of trying to squeeze in all the offers in the week before July 1 2017. So let's say a team an EK reach a monetary agreement. The team goes back to Ottawa and offers Ottawa a 7th rounder, because they don't want to give up much in a trade. Of course Ottawa refuses. At least EK know what is being offered and from what teams. Ottawa has lost lots of leverage in any potential trade, and now some teams know they are out of the running (somewhat) in signing EK long term. EK a year in advance know (somewhat) who is the front runner for his services as other teams make other plans cause they don't believe EK is affordable to them.</div></div>

Any team going through that process will find a way to make it happen now so that they get Karlson for this coming year at a reduced amount. Make no mistake HE IS NOT GOING BACK TO OTTAWA!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>they're only headaches if you dont know how to use the site you're on to be blunt .

Webers contract 2 years ago sucked but as of right now he's got 12M over 2 seasons then 18m over 6 seasons after that.
Weber's Contract is subject to the NHL Recapture Clause put in to penalize teams who sign massive contracts so IF he retires or is bought out 6m of his cap in the final 4 years fall out NSH for being ass hats .

in reality paying 12m over 2 years while webers still a solid player is worth it knowing you can buy him out after that easily while punishing NSH.


MTL isnt moving Weber anyways we just have stupid fans who like yourself talk ironically about contracts they havent read</div></div>

Fully aware of the implications of Webers contract. . . And Montreals wanting to move him so they can show moRe for the Subban trade. All I'm saying is don't look to Toronto to bail out an MB mistake!
