Tampa: Karlson (sign and trade at 9.9 million for 8 years from Ottawa)

Ott: Mcdonaugh, Foote, Katchouk

Mtl: Ryan, Gourde, 2rd 2018tampa)

Mtl uses they're cap space to acquire assets and a massive cap dump, Tamapa gets a star defensemen that's fits into the age group of Hedman and Stamkos and then Ottawa gets rid of Ryan like they want in any trade for Karlson. Is this fair for every team involved? Would Karlson accept to sign in order to help his team mates and to leave them with assets to build around? he'd be getting paid just slightly more then PK Subban.

I don't think Tampa does it. that's a lot to give up for Karlsson in that they give up all their future and their second best D man/ middle sox forward now. If they can get Karlsson in under the cap they probably wait to the offseason and sign him to replace McDonagh while keeping those other pieces. Montreal the clear winners in this one to me they take one Ryan (overpayed but still useful) and also get Gourde and a second with nothing leaving? that's big. Also highly doubt 3 division rivals would get together for a deal like this.

I don’t know what you all are talking about. To get arguably the best defensman in the game locked up for 8 years under $10 million. You don’t know what you are talking about.

But you all seem to not notice that Montreal gets Ryan Gourde and Tampa’s 2nd for nothing.

Exacly they take 7.5 million of cap for 5 years. Unless you think Ryan has value lol. It may even take more for mtl to takw that contract.

I literally pointed out the Montreal thing if you read my post. And if you think about it instead of claiming people know nothing youd know that if Karlsson is willing to accept that deal they could sign him in the offseason and save assets (like i said in my post) . I don't think they trade McDonagh i'm a deal for him they would want to add Karlsson to McDonagh. They had the chance to trade for Karlsson or McDonagh they chose McDonagh. They won't essentially trade 1 or 2 firsts 1 or 2 seconds Foote Katchouk Howden Hajek Gourde and Namestnikov for Karlsson and Miller with Namestnikov/ Miller seen as an even swap.

You did point out Montreal’s “thing”, but Montreal has to give up something in order to acquire assets in a trade. If they don’t the league won’t allow a trade like you have go through. Ottawa and Vegas tried to do that for Derick Brassard and the deadline and the league mixed the deal.

To get the best defensman in the league in a trade under contract at that cap hit long term, ya it would take a package like that. If Tampa wouldn’t want to do that, I get it but that’s what it would take to acquire a player like Karlsson.

So in other words you want ottawa to take another kick in the nether region in terms of a trade?
Or this is a joke.

If ottawa trades EK they get better, NOT worse. this trade destroys them.
