Sean Shapiro of The Athletic: (mailbag) The Dallas Stars were the front-runners for Erik Karlsson at one point. They weren’t interested in taking on Bobby Ryan, and they were at no point going to include prospect Miro Heiskanen.
The Stars remain interested, but they wouldn’t do a deal if felt they wouldn’t be able to sign him to an extension.
Adrian Dater: Haven’t heard anything with regards to any Colorado Avalanche interest in Karl
Chris Nichols of Nichols on Hockey: Elliotte Friedman was on Sportsnet 960 yesterday talking about if there is anything new on the Erik Karlsson trade front.
