Happy Thursday, everyone.
Yesterday was fun, in that it seemed (for a couple hours, at least) like two amazingly dumb teams were going to do something amazingly dumb together.
There is a sense today that Erik Karlsson trade talks have picked up in the last few days. Most likely destinations appear to be Western Conference. There is also a belief VAN has stepped in to see if it is a match.

The only loser in this scenario is Erik Karlsson. Sadly, it all turned out to be a trade tease.
