Interesting. heard rumblings of ottawa having interest in RNH, don't know much about bear but i know a few oil fans on here covet him deeply. the 1st round pick should be a good one. I feel like most sens fans are going to say "not nearly enough" but i think its interesting indeed.

Big upgrade at centre for sens, huge upgrade on D for oil and a good first and prospect for the difference. It’s definitely interesting. I do think that they will want either another good pick / prospect or a better prospect than Bear. I know oilers fans covet him too, but when trading for a franchise guy, I think your best or second best prospect has to be in there, like a Yamamoto. But pretty good.

Sorry, that trade is organizational suicide for Edmonton and is not realistic.


Karlsson is basically a rental for 1 year until he hits Free agency which he has publically stated he will go to the highest bidder with the max term. This is why he is on the blocks in Ottawa. They can lose him next year for NOTHING.

Because of this, even though he's a good player, he is in fact nothing more than a rental for 1 year. RNH ( Oilers most consistent player this year) and Klefbom (team friendly cap hit) are signed long term, so giving up the franchise stability for 1 year of service for a player who is leaving for nothing is too much risk for even the dumbest of GM's to do.

Karlsson right now because of his rental status is not worth very much. Even less to a team that isn't making the playoffs this year. Maybe a 2nd and prospect like Jones or Bear, but that's it outta Edmonton. no Klef, no 1st (could be Dahlin), no Hopkins back to attain this rental player.

Kind of agree with 4T4A. But it’s not that Karlsson has no value it’s that he’s worth the moon and I don’t know what team will actually give up what he’s worth. He’s not a free agent after this season is he? If he is then this deal definitely doesn’t make sense for the Oil.

Karlsson is only worth a 2nd round pick and Ethan Bear? lol it’s back to a cpl months ago when oilers fans argued with me that oilers wouldn’t give up Bear straight up for Hoffman. Get off it, Jesus Christ. This guy must be the best kept secret in the 100 year history of the NHL. He has proven less than Travis Dermott has for the leafs, and if I said dermott and a 2nd for Karlsson or dermott for Hoffman+ I’d be absolutely roasted, and rightfully so. What a joke.

Eh Jim, The argument was that yes Bear + could get Hoffman but that Edm would probably want to trade one of their winger prospects + for a winger coming back and not their best D prospect for a winger. If they are to tear their best D prospect then it should be for a D coming back not a winger.
Nobody said Bear is more valuable than Hoffman straight up. But that if they were to go after Hoffman a deal around a winger + makes a lot more sense depth wise.

And ya let's be real, you're so off its hilarious.
If Hanzel and Vermette can get 1st and prospect as a rental, Karlsson can get a lot more than that as a rental especially if he is traded before this deadline. He has one more year left. He's worth a ton more than just bear or Jones and a 2nd to Edm. You're so off.
