Yesterday wasn’t a fever dream. Doug Wilson made a move and landed Erik Karlsson, giving the Sharks one of the deepest defense groups in the league.
If you followed along on Twitter yesterday, it was a wild ride that seemed to happen out of nowhere. Reportedly, the Golden Knights, Stars, and Sharks were all in talks with the Senators to acquire Karlsson. The Stars did not want to give up prospects Miro Heiskanen or Ty Dellandrea and talks stalled, leaving room for Doug Wilson to swoop in with an offer.
