Description
Vegas fans what do you think? Know you guys are up against the cap and also have Eichel, Hertl, and Roy. Is Karlsson available for the right price? and if so what does that look like?

From the Bruins perspective I know it is a lot of assets but it seems much safer than a long-term Lindholm contract and leaves money for expiring deals next summer.

No need to overpay for a 2C and not even get a 1C in FA

I just don't think there is a better option. Do you really wanna give Lindholm 8 mil over 6 years. Just seems like the back end of that will be Backes all over again.

I wouldn't give him 8mil, more like 7mil, great two way center that is good at PP and PK. Also flourished with good linemates like Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk.

Plus we don't need to give up valuable assets to acquire him, could trade for his rights but even then we wouldn't be giving up our top prospect.

I think both trades have Merit. I don't think you need to give up that much for Karlsson maybe Geekie a 2nd and a 3rd?

Then stand pat and wait until there's a good option instead of doing something just for the sake of doing it. Wanting Karlsson is one thing, but this return is way too much. $6M for 32yo Toffoli is also questionable.
