Obviously, this is a pretty crazy push here but if we find a way to make a deal to upgrade to the better Karlsson I'll be absolutely happy. I'm not saying that to bash the Carlson fans here, as some have said you can make the argument he's been one of our best D men. My issue with our Carlson has always been his ability to crumble under pressure. Erik Karlsson is CLEARLY the more superior player. And any deal like this would likely involve us giving up some of our younger players (Vrana, Burt, Bowey etc.) and rumor has it Ottawa wants to package Bobby Ryan up with Karlsson.
If we make a deal like this, for two playoff hungry notable veterans and actually make the signal to go for it, even if it doesn't solve all our grit issues, I'd at least applaud the GM and team for finally trying to set a direction and truly going for it. It would give us a legitimate number one D finally. And who knows potentially more.
But I'm also still not holding my breath. Rumors are just that, if GMBM wants to lay his cards out and make the push Ovechkin and this core deserves than we have to pay the price to get the players that we need to solve our problems. There is a market out there, for another D, for grit, Joel Ward is back on the market. And it's not the old NHL. 3-way deals, and teams keeping Cap. If you are willing to give these rebuilding teams young players going forward then they will find ways to make things work. Ottawa is the perfect example of that as they have been going full rebuild here. It's almost like it's smart to pick a direction with your team, and stick to it, not all this wishy washy shit we do. So the ball is in your court today GMBM, we are watching, impress us.
