Doug Wilson should be tired for that trade. Ottawa is laughing all the way to bank. Right now they have the 4th and 6th puck in the amazing 2020 draft. The Sharks should be starting a retool style rebuild. Not a full gut Tank rebuild, they got some decent mid aged players to bring in the young. Stupid trade. I had a feeling that Karlsson was going to be a putrid trade and UFA signing. He’s checked out

Only 7 more years at 11.5 and a full NMC. And I thought Jamie Benn's was bad. :)

It’s about the same kind of bad. Benn is a throwback style player. Those type of players usually start becoming ineffective in their late 20’s. The new game is too fast and skilled. Karlsson has just checked out. The passion isn’t there anymore

He’s got a letter and is a leader, absolutely stupid thing to say especially cause it’s not like he’s out there trying.

The stardom has gone to his head. He’s got a massive ego. He should just study Crosby on how to be a graceful star in the game.

I think the biggest Sharks mistake was letting Pavelski go. Kane Karlsson, Pavelski - little Joe is the one I would have kept.

Pavekski was definitely the glue and leader of that team. His absence is apparent but little Joe is getting on in his years

I was too, but I’ve heard interesting things about him since then.

I've heard some weird whispers about the guy. Hes always been an arrogant guy but could get away with it as one of the top puck moving dmen in the league. Now he looks a step slower and his shots are slower coming off his stick.

Honestly the issues with him and the sharks aren't personnel its psychological or chemistry. The rumours out of the sharks board i read centers around Burns. Could he be in the move?

Burns is as old as dirt. He’d be a better fit for one of the Cup contenders

I don't think I was one of the avid get EK posters. There were times I wished he could be a Canuck before that last devastating injury
in Ottawa. The guy has had some whoppers. Unreal he went on to do what he did after the first biggy.

Even if they find a taker for Karlsson, will he return a 1st? I doubt it, more like Subban he'll go for a roster player and prospect.

He's still on pace for 60 points though...
