Yay now I don?t have to budget for it.

I was pretty worried that Tampa was going to somehow find a way to make it work.

Always remember, the UFA market that looks like a Sausage, Bacon and Mushroom in January usually ends up as a plain cheese pizza in July.

Nah. It usually ends up like pepperoni.

Yeah we still have the Matt Duchene sweepstakes to look forward to.

I more meant it in the sense of even bad pizza still being ok as opposed to, you know, "nothing" but still. Point is, it's not what you want.

We're still definitely signing one of Pietrangelo or Hall next summer though, right?

One of?

I see this signing not working out so well for the Sharks.

Yikes, I'm assuming their doctors did their homework.

Not quite Tavares-level bonuses but still pretty good.

Wonder if Doughty regrets not hiring an agent.

I see this as having one of the biggest risk/reward swings of all time.  Injury-free, Karlsson is a game-changer.  But he's not usually injury-free.

Unlikely to be healthier as he hits his mid 30's.

So much for the wife's wishes.

Karlsson was one of the most underpaid guys in the league for quite a few years so good on him for getting a big deal on what figures to be his last big contract but I do wonder for some of these guys if they'll really be happy signing deals that could very well be untradeable in their later years.

I agree.  But if he is healthy for a couple of playoff runs, he's way better than anyone else the sharks could add to their roster.
