The March 3 trade deadline has come and gone, but the talk now shifts to the summer. There were plenty of moves made over a week ago, but some big pieces stayed put.

Karlsson&#8217;s named was at the top of the LeBrun&#8217;s list and was the major name that was <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/02\/28\/nhl-rumours-san-jose-sharks-star-likely-staying\/\" target=\"_self\">rumoured at the deadline<\/a>.

One major hurdle is that Karlsson has an $11.5 million per season cap hit and a full no-trade clause. The veteran defenceman will be represented by Craig Oster of Newport Sports, who made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tkachma01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-10_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> deal happen.<\/p>\n<h3>Can an Erik Karlsson Trade Happen This Summer?<\/h3>\n<p>One wonders how much the Sharks are going to have to eat on the contract in order to make a deal to happen.

The blueliner wants to play for a Stanley Cup contender, but also wants to play in a place where his family will be happy. This summer could be just as wild as the most recent trade deadline and Karlsson may be back in play.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time once again for another round of NHL rumours to start your weekend.
