I don't think he is part of the package anymore

It is a lot of salary to take on.

Out of boredom I was just reading Eks blog about Karlsson to Calgary or Edmonton . For once I could see this happening .

With Cgy buying out Brouwer it makes sense. They have the cap space and the pieces to entice Ottawa and it all comes down to Karlsson wanting to play and extend in CGY.



Tkachuk Bennet a first and Hanifin for Karlsson .

Or Bouchard, puljujärvi and a 1st from Edmonton

That too but Edmonton's D is nowhere near as good nor are the forwards once you get by McDavid and Draisitl

Regardless, Ott can really turns things around if they do this right. Uniting the Tkachuks would be an excellent plan for them

Exactly . A fresh start with two solid players , a ton of cap space and some good prospects .

Sam Gagner looking forward to being part of the leadership group with the Canucks as per an article . I was wondering if he would still be here after training camp.

He's going to mentor Beagle on how to score 8 points in one game

He's a talented hockey player but he gets caught up in petty things on the ice.

Both Tkachuk's are talented players...just don't want that jack assery here now that we are past the Burrows-Kesler era.

Why do you think this? I shouldn’t be weighing in on a Karlsson trade as I think he is terribly overrated.

I was hoping Roussel would fill the void.

Where do you rank him among dmen?

They have to move him quick they can't be d1cking around trying to dump Ryan. Most teams that want him can't afford Ryan too

Where do you rank him among dmen?

Probably too low. Like not top ten and I know nobody agrees with me lol. He is obviously immensely talented but he has had some bad injuries and can be pretty careless in his own end.

He's easily one of the 124 best defensemen in the world (top 4 x 31 teams), making him an elite talent, he's the Brandon Sutter of defensemen!

You are fake news.

He would be #5 on Canucks

Probably in 99, Stefan was the consensus #1 pick but had Burke not traded for the 1OA and then traded it to Atlanta for the 3OA to be able to pick Henrik, Daniel might have actually gone first to TB (who had the 1OA that year before the Burke shenanigans) I can't recall where I read it, but TB had said that they were considering Daniel over Stefan had they kept the pick.

What you're describing, IMO, are years where the wasn't as much consensus. Hughes is a clear number one. Very similar to P.Kane in terms of trajectory.

I for one would have been down, but am much more happy with Hughes.

63 points more points then Burns in the last 7 seasons. 100 plus ahead of Buff in 3rd. He is a minus -31 where most other really good D are around +90

I like my top D to be good at playing defence. WOuldnt be top 5 on my list.
