No deal on that rust deal with Karlsson

Wish Detroit got J. Trouba
Conner is a FA after next year. You can't trade for him unless he signs an extension. SY would be better off trying to sign him next summer. Don't trade for Karlsson. He's not that good on the defensive end and his offensive numbers over the last 7 years haven't hit 60 outside of his 101 points with the Sharks. also 5 of the last 6 years he's been in the minus, including his 101 point season. 1 last thing Danielson, Kasper, Cossa, and Plante probably aren't going anywhere. Too high on the charts. They'll all be in Detroit in a few years. Some maybe even next season (2026/27).
Whoever came up with that Hagel trade is an absolute genius. Pay that man.
