Would be nice. Get it out of the way.

Depends of whether they are drafting any Swedes. In that case would be nice to have the Swedish Contingent welcome the recruit aboard.

You shut your whore mouth!

Not on national, though. At least game 4 was on NBC-SN or whatever they call it. While it was national, it is only available on cable.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been saying this for a while.

I guess 10 years, 65 million is a lowball at this point.

I would still try for 6.5 years at $6.5M. Since he wears 65. Or 65 years at 65,000.00 maybe?

Don't know if OTT's Erik Karlsson will win Norris Trophy but he may have new contract in matter of days. Negotiations ongoing in Las Vegas.

6.5 years. I like your out of the box thinking.

Assuming a work stoppage with 6.5 years?

I would say 7 but it depends on term. This will be a 10 year deal for sure.

Expectation for Karlsson is 5 to 7 year term with cap hit of $6M or more. Not Drew Doughty money ($7m/yr) but close. Still being worked on.

Huge! Well I was hoping for a short term contract but might as well lock him into the 7 year term, seems the norm for all-star dmen.

Sens twitter and Steve Lloyd confirm a 7-yr deal has been reached, no figures yet.

Damn these guys weren't kidding about him signing soon.

What happened to the 3 years? Dumbass rumour people. Diddle SensChirp.

Is that what chirp said? I've sorta quit his website.

$6M is the cap hit apparently. Do-able at this point up until the end of the contract probably.

I don't recall reading any rumour about any term... a lot of speculation... but no actual rumours...

I wonder what the money will be.

$6.5?
