Thread: Karlsson trade with every team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>Yeah from the Flyers that's a hard no. And I suspect you'll find the same from a lot of teams, gutting the prospect farm and or current roster is a sideways move at best for most teams. As good as Karlsson is he's just one player. The Flyers aren't giving up 3 of their top 5 prospects plus a first pick.

Dorion can demand what he wants but really I suspect he's looking at best case 2 good prospects / young NHLers, 2 first round picks, and maybe a middling prospect for Karlsson. If Ryan is involved then there will almost certainly be a cap dump or two heading back to Ottawa and maybe another middling prospect/pick or two. That's where the the trade gets to 7 pieces comes in, not for Karlsson straight up.</div></div>

I agree on what the trade will most likely come down to, but to start talks Dorion will most likely have asks similar to this. He'd start the demand with a top level forward and defense prospect/young NHLer, 2 1st round picks, another A level prospect and a R-hand D to replace EK in short term.
The trade situations above are all best case scenarios for Ottawa which is the only way I think they can justify trading their franchise player
