    This actually makes really good sense from a hockey standpoint. The Jets have the organizational depth to make this move and man would they be great with Karlsson on that PP. However, would EK green light a trade to Winnipeg? It’s a far different locale than Tampa Bay...

    Oh man that's something that never even crossed my mind - I highly doubt there's a way they could fit him under the cap even if they could land him (which they won't but man that would put a smile on my face).

    Oh my God that would be the scariest team in the NHL...

    Not that hard to do if it's just a rental, since Karlsson's cap hit is lower right now but if they wanted to keep him, bye bye Little and Perreault and maybe Ehlers. Wow. That would be nuts.

    So, after listening to the last 31 thoughts podcast, it seems like Karlsson to Dallas was a no-go because Ottawa (quite rightly) wanted Miro Heiskanen back. Where this loses me is Dallas not wanting to give up Heiskanen, assuming Karlsson was willing to sign in Dallas long-term. So, I have to believe that's what actually broke the talks, because as good as a prospect has Heiskanen is, there is no way he projects to be as good as Karlsson and I cannot believe Dallas would stick with Heiskanen even if Karlsson was willing to sign an extension. Thing is, that wasn't touched on much in the podcast, so that's why I'm puzzled I suppose.

    There were rumblings at the time that Karlsson informed Dallas he wouldn't sign an extension with them. They were probably willing to sacrifice Honka to get Karlsson even for one year but giving away Heiskanen is a no-go without contract extension.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. It had to be the contract, otherwise, as good as he can become, holding onto Heiskanen over Karlsson seems like lunacy to me, regardless of their respective ages.

    There is a sense today that Erik Karlsson trade talks have picked up in the last few days. Most likely destinations appear to be Western Conference. There is also a belief VAN has stepped in to see if it is a match.

    That would be a strategic move on Colorado's part.... you offer back Ottawa's 1st round pick... which is now unprotected.

    If Ottawa trades with Sakic again to get their own 1st back, does everyone realize that would mean they acquired Duchene (plus whatever assets they get back in deal #2) for the low-low price of Karlsson, Turris, Bowers, Hammond and a 3rd?

    Dorion will take the belt for Worst Trade Ever.

    That's what I was hinting at, but as an Avs fan I can imagine right?!

    Karlsson to Vancouver is actually an interesting proposition. By all accounts, it's a wonderful place to live and the team has a bevy of prime, young talented players in whom Ottawa would certainly be interested. I'll admit it's something I didn't even consider until today, but I guess it could work - provided Vancouver isn't on Karlsson's no-trade list.

    OK - It's August and I will humour this... What do the Canucks need [realistically] to offer Ottawa for Erik Karlsson? I think that easing Ottawa's financial pressure would need to be involved. Either taking on bad contracts and/or straight up money.
