Karlsson KONTRACTOCALYPSE!!! (Karlsson re-signs for 7 years!)

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?

Now that didn't take too long did it. That's what happens when you deal with a character person...

So now he's locked up... just needs a partner to play with.

Nice wedding present...

Guy's site is awful. It just summarizes news that everyone has already heard through twitter, newspapers, etc. No more "chirp"

Has to be $6.5M And 7 year term, minus the season stoppage and we're right at the 6.5 x 6.5 we've been predicting

Excellent deal for both sides.

We don't actually know the deal yet, other than it's 7 years, do we?

6.5 X 7 apparently.

Not apparently, it is exactly 7 years, $6.5M per year.

Beauty.

If $8.7M is good enough for #87, then $6.5M should be good enough for #65.

And we'd better call Gilroy's agent and tell him to eff off right now.

Close enough

Next up, $1.1M for 1.1yrs for the Alfie after next year.

I'm a little nervous about paying $7.1M for Foligno, however.

And thank God we let Gilroy go to free agency.

Dodged a bullet there... but he is asking for $9.9M, but for obvious reasons, couldn't wear that #.

Good deal for the Sens.

It was going to be either a 2-3 year deal, or a 5+ deal, but I like what the long-term deal says about the strength of the relationship between the owner, management, and Karlsson.

$6.5 mil / yr is no small chunk of change, but that's less than Doughty made, and it will be less or about the same as what Suter and Weber will make, too. Karlsson took a little hair cut in the range of about $500K to a $1 mil, and OTT gave him the term.

Really a great day for the franchise. OTT has it's #1 D locked up for the better part of a decade. What you like about this most of all is how smoothly it went -- speaks very well to how happy everyone is with each other.

No way he was getting more than Doughty. For sure. So, $6.5M is nice, long term security for both sides. We'll see what the future brings. A good day for the Sens indeed.
