It’s time for another edition of NHL rumours. The off-season will be starting soon and some teams are going to load for some big moves. Teams are going to push hard to try to land a superstar that could change the fate of a franchise. There are some big names that may be on the move in the off-season. However, there may be a lot of moving parts to make one of those big blockbuster trades happen. Today’s NHL rumours looks at an Erik Karlsson<\/a> trade update<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n

Erik Karlsson Trade Update<\/h3>\n

Rumour:<\/em> The Daily FaceOff’s Frank Seravalli put out his list of trade targets<\/a> for the summer. Karlsson was listed as the top trade target on the countdown. A reigning Norris Trophy-winning defenceman has only been traded once and that was Doug Harvey<\/a> back in 1961. Karlsson being traded would be a monumental deal if it does go down.<\/p>\n

However, making a trade would be very hard due to his $11.5 million cap hit. San Jose would likely have to retain a decent portion of that to make a trade happen. However, does general manager Mike Grier<\/a> want to have that much dead money on his cap for another four seasons. Grier will probably have to adjust his asking price to facilitate a trade.<\/p>\n

Can an Erik Karlsson Trade Happen?<\/h3>\n

There were some rumblings at the deadline<\/a>, but a deal didn’t happen. This type of deal seems like more of an off-season trade. A lot of things would have to happen to make Karlsson move teams. A team like the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> would love to have Karlsson, but a lot of of cap space would have to be made.<\/p>\n

Getting Karlsson would be the ultimate game-changer for a franchise. However, it may be a trade worth exploring further down the road when the hit and term won’t be so harsh.<\/p>\n
