Unless you’ve been living under a rock or purposefully avoiding social media for the past few weeks, you’ve heard about the #Karlssonwatch.
Ottawa Senators Captain, All-Star, and Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Erik Karlsson is rumored to be on the move. There were plenty of rumors that Karlsson would be moved at the deadline, but the Senators decided to stick to their guns and keep him in place. Now, however, is a much different story.
It’s been rumored for a while now that Karlsson wanted out of Ottawa. The big event that brought these rumors to a head though was Karlsson’s wife Melinda filing for a peace bond against the fiancé of another Senators player Mike Hoffman.
