While us Toronto Maple Leafs fans were sitting around waiting for news on William Nylander, the Ottawa Senators stole the limelight.
They traded Erik Karlsson – arguably among the best defenseman of all-time – to the San Jose Sharks for Dylan Demelo, Chris Tierny, Rudolf Balcers, Josh Norris, a 2020 1st, and a 2019 2nd. There are also conditional picks.
This trade is an absolute disaster.
What Are they Thinking?
The Ottawa Senators have made a terrible trade here. It is about quantity, not quality. It is hard to believe that they are trading Erik Karlsson away without receiving at least one blue-chip player.
