On September 14th, the Ottawa Senators traded Erik Karlsson to the - groan - San Jose Sharks. The move ended months of speculation that had included, up until the bitter end, the Dallas Stars. Two critical details have emerged regarding Dallas’ proposal. The first: Dallas steadfastly refused to include uber-prospect Miro Heiskanen in any deal. The second: Dallas was apparently willing to peddle Devin Shore and Roope Hintz.
Now, a player of Karlsson’s obvious qualities is going to demand a king’s ransom.
