It’s that time in the NHL off-season where Ottawa Senators fans start to ponder: Should the Sens bring back Erik Karlsson?
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan debate if now its the right time to bring back the three time Norris Trophy winning defenceman? Is he a good fit, what would the cost of retention be and what is his trade value? We also go over some more depth signings in Wyatt Bongiovanni and Hayden Hodgson. And what are the remaining needs for the organization?

Friends of the show, Myself and Gab Lafrance actually graduated from the same high school as Parsons🔥
even before the podcast/video begins, if Sens CANNOT stop Panthers (not the Leafs) from achieving their 3rd, etc, then stop pretending. Sell assets that will help build for future year or years – which might include high dollar contracts.
Bring back Karlsson? Sure. We'll just figure out a 5 team deal where each one retains 50% and maybe we can afford him
Go Sens Go
Sorry but no to Karl. We need big ugly mean trees on D. We have enough puck distributors.
Ross, what happens when Jensen is healthy and needs to come off LTIR? Just doesn't make sense this year, sorry.
If EK puts up, let's say 45 pts this year and 40 the next year, my thought is we give him the Claude Giroux contract when he's a UFA. 3 years 6.5 M
Been saying it for a while. Get him retained somehow, and then ship Chabby off. Make it a 3-team deal if necessary. Follow up by packaging Bath + whatever else is needed to get us our ELITE Top-6 RW to play with Timmy & Brady. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
BRING THE KING HOME
No 😢
Trade for Karlsson 2026 second Buffalo, 2027 first, Yakamchuk. 45% retention ( Yak in deal to raise retention )
If pens take half and another team takes half in a 3-way trade, sure.
I think you can bring in EK. It really is now or never with him, and Giroux. Give them both the opportunity to win the cup. Make the moves that are necessary, such as moving out Batherson (as much as I love his contract and him as a player). I'm all for doing this, and note moving out Batherson allows the Perron problem to disappear.
NO FRICKEN WAY!!! PLEASE TELL ME STEVE IS NOT THIS DUMB!
Wait till he's a UFA in 2027 and give him a 1-2 year contract at a contract lower than 5m.
Love the Hodgson signing, he was a decent scorer in junior, love to see him and Janik on the 4th line with Ellers
Besides Giroux and Perron turning 38 this upcoming year, you think that Karlsson,, who turns 36, would be worth anybody's 1st round pick??
nope
Ross is out to fucking lunch
Matinpalo, Montgomery and a second gets it done imo.
Absolutely not. He, like Zibanijad, never hated losing…enough. Inside his blue line, he’s always been a liability. The Sens will have another offensively talented D in September to join the 2 already here! What the Sens need are some big, tough brutes who PUNISH the opposition, not an aging star who concedes the puck in the corners and allows the opposition to park themselves in front of the net.
Buffalo may have the best potential D in the division if all their players play up to their potential, Ottawa still lacking in size on the D, if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs!
