We only save 4 million over the course of the buyout. Trade him and pick 31 to a team.

I’d rather ride it out until Seattle.

Yeah. I was hoping they were going to come in at the conclusion of this season haha.

Bury him like Moulson after this season, pay Seattle to take his contract at expansion

Realistically his cap hit might only be an issue for next season

Leddy doesn’t seem like the player he used to be. I’m more interested in seeing how Botts is going to get rid of some of this deadweight on the cap.

Realistically it shouldn't come in to play when it comes to keeping our own. I just hate that dead money, which it basically is.

Oh I would be on board with paying a team, but I think the late first can be used to get a decent player.

Colin Miller
JT Miller
Leddy
Zucker

I’d rather it used to try and get one of the above

He’s definitely not the same, but he shouldn’t cost much and is a better second LD than a Scandella or Hunwick etc.

Now that Charlotte won the Calder Cup, let's hire Mike Vellucci. Do it Ralphie Boy!

I think we could get Zucker for nylander, sheary and a pick(not a first)

I dont think I would hate the late first for jt miller.

Sign Erik Karlsson, no one else wants him, but I do desperately.

We need to find a team to take on a Scandella, Sobotka, Okposo. That would make me happy. Then like you mentioned in your above post, use pick 31 to bring in a player to help now.

We don’t have that kind of money to waste on EK and he’s Damaged goods

We do kapanen, another team does johnsson. I dont think they'd have enough to match both with everything else going on there.
- Mentalorgasm5

Leafs will match on Kapanen, that's why you target Johnsson. They cant do Marner and Kapanen and Johnsson @$4Mill with all their existing cap burden

I'm fine with either of the two tbh.

I think Johnsson is the better player. Kapanen is a one trick pony

He is not.

Paired with the bad goal differential, people have been noticing for a couple of seasons now that Karlsson has had difficulty pivoting on his bad foot, which has exposed him off the rush and caused him to be at fault for goals against. This has led to the assumption that Karlsson might just be damaged goods now, which is a tough thing for a generational defenceman heading into unrestricted free agency.

But is it actually true?

The difficulty with pivoting absolutely exists and it may be something Karlsson has to deal with for the rest of his career, but how much of an effect that has on his on-ice impact is up for debate.

There are a couple issues of perception working against Karlsson at the moment. For example his on-ice save percentage at 5-on-5 was just .8947 in the regular season, which is a little outrageous even on a team that struggled to get saves. However, it was even worse last season at .8917 — both numbers are far off from the previous four seasons that fluctuated between .910 and .9262.

With that said, Karlsson has almost always had a negative impact on his team’s on-ice save percentage.
