EK to PIT Route
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>Tbh it just sounds like youre lower on Karlsson than what the insiders are communicating the teams are. im not sure there is a contender in the league that could afford or would want to pay mike Griers price for anything over the retention thats the bare minimum of whats needed to move him out. I also think the sharks have a bit more power in the trade than most people think. Even though Karlsson has a NMC hes been open an talking to teams about where he wants to go so there is a bit of a bidding war, and the sharks are willing to give time for people to make their cap work. And the sharks dont have to trade him (which I dont like for the player or the org) but I think the notion the sharks have to retain close to 4 mil is far fetched</div></div>
High on the player, Karlsson's impact obviously speaks for itself. Low on the penguins getting him. I think they could build a better team by focusing on retooling the bottom six. If they make some deal for Karlsson they're not going to have cap space to tinker with that 3rd line that needs help. (unless you had some ungodly deal where SJ kept $4M and then a third team Kept an additional $3M, which obviously isn't going to happen lol). The penguins would be smart to do it form a business standpoint, you're going to generate even more revenue if you can tell fans "Hey we have Sid, Geno and Letang but we also just add the 3 time Norris winner Erik Karlsson..."
I'd disagree a bit on the sharks having more power. Karlsson's age, contract and NMC kind of screw the sharks a bit. No one in the league wants that contract on a 33 year old, and the teams that may be willing to take the full hit or closer to it are most likely teams he wouldn't waive for. So at the end of the day, the sharks could keep him but that's fine but it's another gamble for them. if he plays this year and has a significantly worse year, or gets hurt his trade value next summer significantly drops. If he continues to demand a trade and the relationship gets more rocky the sharks could be stuck with an $11.5M cap hit that's taking up spots for younger developing players because they didn't take a deal to move on from him.
It's definitely an extremely complex situation regardless of where he goes (if he goes) because again i'd bet majority of the team interested don't want him for a penny more than $8M aav at most.

EK to PIT Route
This return, while I personally wouldn't do it as Sharks GM, is realistic for what to expect from Grier. However, that's too much retention. I see 33% retention max out of Grier.
Sharks accept if it's about 3.5mil retained instead of 4.6mil. Or send a 2nd rounder to a 3rd party team for them to retain 1-1.5mil or so.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>NHL insiders have consistently said that if the sharks get it down to a 4x8 then they think a deal will happen. Retaining that much (close to half) is not something mike Grier has expressed interest in.

Personally I think the penguins are out and the canes, but allegedly there are 3 metro teams and a surprise team still in the mix</div></div>
I wouldn't really call 30% close to half. MG (and owners) should be willing to do 30% and even up to 35-40% otherwise it's just a wasted trade.

Regardless of what team Karlsson ends up on I don't think the sharks can move him unless they retain at least $4M. He'd obviously only waive to go to a team that's going to compete for a playoff spot and I don't think any of those options could take on a cap hit over $8M (or would want to). Also, regardless of the team that trades for him, they're most likely going to be sending another defenseman back. Whether SJS plays that person or in turn flips them is obviously up in the air.
Idk who the metro teams could be besides the penguins/canes
Isles have Pulock/Dobson/Mayfield on right side, Dobson is young and no one would want that mayfield contract (mayfield and Pulock have NTCs).
Jersey is possible.. i think they're still focused on getting a goalie, but adding Karlsson doesn't make a ton of sense there because Marion would likely go to SJS and he's one of their better defensive defenseman.
Rangers are definitely out, Fox and Trouba on the right.
He wouldn't waive for the flyers.
CJB could maybe be it.. but they would need to move cap, and I could see Karlsson saying no because who wants to play for Babcock.
Maybe caps, but they'd have to also offload a lot of cap and Jensen would be coming back to make space for Karlsson.
I'd be the surprise team is still seattle, specially if they're worried about Dunn.
Regardless, if it's a metro team you're most likely getting a defenseman back.
I honestly don't really care to have him for the pens unless everything falls just right, I would want 50% retained between SJS and a third team and the penguins need to move cap themselves.

having karlsson would be nice but for how much he’d cost i think carolina is better off keeping pesce, if even as a self-rental for their cup run this year.
that’s obviously a great return for san jose and they could flip those pieces for probably pretty amazing pieces at the TDL

Make Winnipeg Great Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SpankyGeezus</b></div><div>Every team needs those character guys...
That's where acquiring young talent like Vilardi, Kupari, Holtz, and Swayman could be invaluable. You give those guys the chance to play important minutes and the odds increase that they reward you down the line with loyalty. Along with that, drafting high character players that are born and bred in the organization is paramount. I think Chevy and Co. have done well at this with picks like Barlow and Mcgroarty in recent drafts.</div></div>
Agreed X4. Character guys, young LAK pickups, Swayman and my 2 favorite draft picks in many years... FREAKING LOVE Barlow and McGroarty.
When the draft was live, I was on a few live feeds, watching it on TV and begging Chevy to trade up to get Barlow. That man is Luckier than he is smart to get Barlow at 18. When the Jets were up to pick and Barlow was available, I actually started praying... haha. I was going to head up "another" #FIRECHEVY campaign if he didn't pick Barlow.
Anyways... Cheers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WPGSK</b></div><div>Nino came out and said he is happy to be in Winnipeg and playing. He plays the right way. He's a role model for the younger Jets and plays in the top 6. WPG needs a guy like that for as long as possible to set the right mood and play style for the dressing room. He's far more valuable to Winnipeg than points or anything else.
The JETS need a HUGE culture shift and guys like Nino, Namestikov, Lowry, Ehlers and Morrissey embody that. They play hard, say the right things, etc.</div></div>
Ever consider that perhaps the reason guys like Namestikov stick around is because they're offered term? They don't like Winnipeg, it's just that Vlad has played on literally 8 teams in 6.5 years. He likely would play in Tijuana if they offered him 2 years, guy is just sick of moving.

I could still see a team like the Leafs look to rent him if the ask is Samsonov+a 1st+ B-prospect. I wouldn't be surprised if he's open to resigning with the Leafs by the end, but I doubt they would be able to afford him the following year anyways.

Per San Filippo </strong>, the Flyers already have offers from multiple teams for Hart including Toronto and Edmonton and more are expected. Haven’t seen any news on teams wanting Samsonov so clearly GMs think 1 is the better goalie. Just do like any research at all and u would be actually informed on the topic lol</div></div>
Key words: Flyers insiders... Not neutral insiders like Friedman and Marek or opposing team insiders like Luke Fox, Flyers insiders, whom have the same credibility as Habs insiders saying that Josh Anderson has been offered a 1+ and Hughes turned it down.

I’m sorry if my difference of opinion offends you. The Hawks are committed to building internally until the prospects develop (or bust) then start acquiring talent from other teams/free agency later. I’m not particularly found of the Jones brothers, want offer a trade for them🧐
