Kathryn Tappen: Sources are saying that Erik Karlsson doesn’t want to sign an extension with a Canadian team and that he wants to play in a U.S. market.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: There were no new ‘public’ developments on the Erik Karlsson trade front yesterday, but it doesn’t mean things weren’t being discussed behind the scenes.
The Ottawa Senators are not just going to trade Karlsson for the sake of trading him. There has been traction of late and there are some indications that it’s possible that he’s traded before the start of training camp.
