Yeah, but it's still pretty astonishingly bad a return, isn't it?
Obviously Karlsson wasn't going to get traded within the conference, but it'd be like the Kings trading Doughty to us for, like, Grundstrom, Brooks, and the two Connors. Plus the picks. -- You'd think Dallas, say, would've been able to make something a bit better than that happen.
Doug Wilson is really good at finding suckers.

At least, Ottawa wins the superstar trade war, not that there ever was one but in the theoretical sense only.
John Tavares is a Leaf and Erik Karlsson isn't a sen.
What a time to be alive.

And, considering the dumpster fire that the sens were last season, 60 points is a very impressive number.

Here's something I was idly thinking about...
In a vacuum, would you rather have what the Sens got for Karlsson or what the Habs got for Pacioretty? The Karlsson return is almost certainly more stuff just in sheer numbers but for Pacioretty the Habs may have gotten the best prospect in either deal, the best pick and even potentially the best roster player.

Former lawyer turned Oilers analyst turned Athletic staff writer, Tyler Dellow is live tweeting the Caryk/Karlsson case.
Here's is write up on why they're in court.

Point 10 in the summary of evidence presented in Ms. Caryk's affadavit:
Like the weird Monday night video, and the botched handling of their AGM's criminal charges, all the Hoffman/Karlsson drama (Dorion traded them both to Doug Wilson's Sharks, btw, which still boggles the mind), it really just looks like a case of 'ain't nobody getting paid enough to deal with any of that'.

They only need to worry about Vegas/Anaheim/LA/Calgary or maybe a cross-over wildcard team from the Central to get to the Conference finals though. I think they're a pretty clear step-above the other Pacific division teams.

Oh yeah, if I was Karlsson I wouldn't be rushing to sign a long-term extension there necessarily (unless he loves living in San Jose, in which case I wouldn't blame him). Back in all the Tavares talk I definitely wrote about how San Jose doesn't have a very large window to contend, for those exact reasons. I'd essentially be considering this an all-in year if I was Doug Wilson. The fact that they have a relatively easy path to the conference finals re-enforces that.
