Berggren, Holl, 3rd, No salary retention needed.

Essentially they would be helping us dump 3.4 in Holl instead of retaining any of Karlsson. I'd be okay with this.

...and $1.8M in Berggren.

Apparently it's time for my yearly reminder that Erik Karlsson isn't any good. I'm not really sure why I have to keep telling everyone this. We can prove this, statistically. He scored 53 total points. He had 38 even strength points and got SCORED ON 62 times, accounting for his whopping -24 +/-. So that means he only scored 15 powerplay points, 9 fewer than Mo Seider.

Now let's put it all together. He's a net negative at even strength, he'll get scored on much more often than he'll score. He's also worse than our own internal PP quarterback, and that's the BEST part of his game. And he does ALL THAT for one of the worst contracts in the league.

He's horrible and SY would be retarded to trade for him.

But what if EK65 is paired with EdvinGod77?

Norse Mythology may very well have 2 new legends worthy of  their tales of greatness shared by village elders for generations!

Intriguing name out of Columbus: Yegor Chinakhov. Former 1st round pick that just requested a trade out of CBJ. His career has been sidelined by a series of injuries, but produced about .5 ppg when in the lineup. Has size and a wicked shot. Might be a good "buy low" candidate with some potential uptapped upside.

I was going to post something similar... I wonder if he could be had for a 3rd and Tuomisto? Too low? Maybe 1:1 with Berggren going back?

Yeah, you’re in the right ballpark. Can’t imagine it would cost much. But I wouldn’t expect too much either. He’s basically Dominik Kubalik 2.0

Hey it's a reclamation project... Kubalik was an important trade chip in the Dcat trade...

This would be a low risk high reward play.

Would Doug Hamilton help more than EK?

EK is spent... bringing him in for future considerations wouldn't even make sense.
