Darren Dreger: “Sources say San Jose players are being informed of a trade to Ottawa.”
Darren Dreger: “Sounds like San Jose is making a huge push to land Erik Karlsson.”
Kevin Kurz: “If I’m Ottawa, I start the Karlsson discussion with Timo Meier and don’t budge. There’s just no one else in Sharks org. other than maybe Merkley that has the kind of upside he does. Meier was surely off-limits for Pacioretty, but he shouldn’t be for Karlsson. Just my two cents.”
Paul Gackle: “Now, im not saying #SJSharks will actually land Karlsson but this is the type of player they’re budgeting for. You identify who you want and go after it instead of settling for leftovers”
