Knights among frontrunners in trade talks for Erik Karlsson

With the John Tavares watch complete, the attention now is on the Erik Karlsson sweepstakes.

The Golden Knights are one of the teams working to land the all-star defenseman from Ottawa, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

Dallas and Tampa Bay reportedly also are the frontrunners to trade for Karlsson, a two-time Norris Trophy winner as the league’s top defenseman.

Colorado previously was linked along with the New York Islanders, who lost Tavares in free agency to Toronto.

Karlsson, 28, is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2019, and the rebuilding Senators risk losing him for nothing in return.
