Think he goes to the Marlies if he doesn't make the team? Maybe he retires instead.

fourth line depth if he's healed up

i dont mind the Ennis signing

Right, seems like a harmless risk. It's on him to earn his next contract or he could be done.

The Athletic’s Joe Smith, who has had his finger on the pulse of the Lightning’s trade talks, is no longer optimistic about a deal getting done. Smith writes that a deal for Karlsson should not be expected any time soon and that nothing is “imminent or close”. Smith admits that a trade could still work out between Ottawa and Tampa, but it’s no longer the foregone conclusion that some had perceived. Meanwhile the Stars are rumored to have fallen out of favor when they refused to include star blue line prospect Miro Heiskanen in a deal for Karlsson. Sportsnet’s John Shannon believes that the Stars still have a chance to land Karlsson, but it seems that Dallas’ chances depend on whether or not they can be flexible with their offer.

so this only means the LEAFS get him

I wonder what they could have locked him up to if they didn't do the bridge first?

good point, feels like bridge deal backfired big time in his case

To be conservative let's say 7 million, which would have saved roughly 2,200,000 a year for the past 3 years. However going forward for the next 5 years of that theoretical contract it is going to cost them an additional 2.5 million.

Hindsight but yea not the best outcome however he is a superstar, and they just locked him up

no contract will be negotiated with Patches - will be dealt ASAP.

I cannot WAIT to see him beside a slight centre upgrade on ... *checks roster depth chart* ... ?! Tomas Plekanec???! !?

Hellebuyck sign 6 year deal with Jets (AAV $6,167M)

A lot of money for one good year

If one good year turns to two good years etc, they're getting UFA years at a discount. But yea a big risk after not much of a sample.
