Erik Karlsson spent the weekend in Tampa for the All-Star game and seemed to enjoy himself so much that he has Lightning fans wondering if he might end up here via a trade.
The Ottawa Senators, where he currently plays, are a famously mismanaged club whose front office has taken the brilliant step of engaging in public disagreements with one of the best five players in the world eighteen months from his unrestricted free agency. This has led to some speculation in the media that the Sens might consider trading him ahead of this season’s deadline.
