Erik Karlsson is a 28 year old superstar defenseman, a 4 time NHL All Star, and a 2 time Norris Trophy winner. 4 times he has topped 70 points in a season. The Minnesota Wild have not shown any reported interest as of yet, but that’s not to say they are out of the running.
According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, the Senators are seeking as many as four pieces in return for their captain. These would include a player to step into the lineup immediately, a highly valued prospect for the future, and a 1st Round Draft pick in 2019 to replace their own used to acquire Matt Duchene last summer.
