Eklund: Erik Karlsson Heating Up. Who is involved? Podcast at 11am today ET

I would like to see Karlson in Arizona.

Vancouver…. This is Interesting. Boeser will likely be moved, and from what I am hearing Horvat will likely NOT be back for next season either. The Canucks fan base s calling for a major shakeup…This kind of deal would qualify..

I think they meant rebuilding via the draft and acquiring young assets, not an injury prone 32yrs old D with a horrible contract.

"No one running a hockey website can possibility be prepared for what this deal would do to our servers… "

When you are using 2006 technology, then, yes, very true statement.

No way Karlsson goes to Edmonton.. with kane there it would be drama between the 2 of them

Karlsson needs to go back to Ottawa and finish what he started before the blowup with him and Hoffman.

That and they don’t have cap space or the need for more offence. They need a dman that can prevent goals.

Also Dreger never said he heard that they spoke, it was just his speculation alone that they may be interested. So yes; Dreger IS wrong there. You have not heard a single other person say they’ve talked.

And don't forget Chicago will be the thyroid team eating some of Karlsson's salary in the Toronto trade.

Love it the isles are involved in every trade, and with the way Lou can't stop blabbering, makes sense.

You are wrong Turd. Ek mentions Seattle as a weak MAYBE...because only a FEW sources have been saying this so far. That implies the other 6 teams have at least a FEW sources, and possibly dozens linking them to Karlsson. As the title said, things are HEATING up!

Anywhere but SJ.

Crazy contract to take on during the season no contender can do it.

Then desperate teams like Canucks are looking for young players to build a future.

Crazy in season trades with massive contracts are not flat cap compatible.

Especially since SJ asked both Karlsson and Couture if they wanted to be moved in the summer and both declined.

Yes but things have changed now. Karlsson no longer wants to collect $11.5M and live anonymously beside the beach with no pressure. Instead, he's longing to play in Toronto where the pressure to win is immense, the media criticism never stops, and he can't buy a coffee without being chased by fans.

Or Anaheim. The Ducks rarely play defense as it is so EK would fit right in.

My sources tell me that Lou and the isles tried to use all of the other teams mentioned here to take a portion of Karlsson salary in order to facilitate a trade. It almost worked but Dubas and Holland could not agree on who gets the isles 6th/7th rounder….

Sharks 🦈 may retain 50% salary. For a nose 👃 bleed return.

Come on Let’s finish what Benning started.
Kill the future and all hope. Maybe we can take the cap hits of Parise and Suter from Minnesota for Boeser as well.
Need to go through rebuild pains not the pains of stupid decisions that lead nowhere.
Definition of insanity.

Benning did a perfect job of guaranteeing mediocrity. The best place for an NHL franchise to be.

Washington… Keep your eye on the Caps in general. They are committed to not. Rebuilding as long as Ovechkin is with them.-Ek

I love this passage and I love you, Ek.

NO way the Hawks take a 2.5 cap hit for the next 4 years for a prospect or draft pick. GM would get fired for that and deservingly so
