Ya, it is…but here’s the thing, it will have to be an overpay if you want him.

Mitts for Carlo in a hockey swap is probably pretty close. We could split hairs on it…whatever. Unlike others i’m meh on Mitts, the production is nice, the metrics say it’s a mirage. On the other hand there is Carlo’s concussion history.

If I’m GM i’m hesitant. Especially factoring in a new contract for him and what the demands will be. I can go out and get FW in free agency far easier they I can get Carlo’s replacement. And with Poitras, Lysell, Merkulov all needing spots i can fill it internally as well, something I can’t do with RD. I’d be more willing to pick/prospect route at the deadline. Once offseason hits i’ll lose interest.

So if he’s your guy…the guy you want. You are paying above market value. Otherwise you don’t get me interested.

Thread: (SJS / OTT) - Karlsson, Perron for Tierney, DeMelo, Norris, Balcers & picks
This is probably the most interesting trade in at least the past 5 years (if not 10).

OTT got:
- Chris Tierney/Dylan Demel/Balcers: Cap dumps, no need to talk about this much
- 2020 1st (Tim Stuzle): Is this good value? Yes, was it predicted that the Sharks would be terrible at the time? No. I think the Sens just got very lucky here and end up with a very good centre
- 2021 2nd (Zach Opstachuk): long shot prospect, could he be good in the future? Yes. But for right now, Meh
- 2019 2nd (Jamieson Rees): I honestly don't know who this is so no comment
- Josh Norris: Long shot prospect who's currently not able to stay healthy if his life depended on it

SJ got:
- Francis Perron: Really a nothing asset
- Erik Karlson: 100+ point defensemen, signs the most amount of money/season for a current denfensmen, helped SJ get to conference finals and 2nd round but demanded a trade which caused his value to drop.

What do I think of the trade, 5 years later: Ottawa got very lucky with how poorly SJ's preformance and SJ was stupid to put in the condition... SJ screwed up the contract negotiation and Karlson has only showed up in 1/5 of his tenure as a Shark
