Erik Karlsson has been waiting a long time to be traded. His name has been in rumors for years. However, the Sharks are not worried. Karlsson, who recently won the third Norris Trophy of his career, still has four years left on his contract. He seems willing to wait for the right offer.
The two opportunities are interesting. When you get the chance to play with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kristopher Letang or with one of the best top-six in the NHL featuring Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, Andrei Svechnikov, and Martin Necas, you take it.
