Brandon Hatter the Turris trade in 2011 was actually pretty good but that’s the only decent one in the last 10 years

Nice
You mean dorion good trades sens have a few
Jerry Lin remember that Burrows trade?
Next is Duchene and Stone to San Jose for a $5 Tim Hortons gift card
J Litzenberger make sure they work first
@@ImNoHeroSCA timmys ehh
Only after Duchene starts to dominate again :D
Lol basically
Sounds like the Sharks are offering to much in this deal
Carefully avoiding eugenes name. Smart man. Love him.
HomerJLeafs in all honesty fans would have chose to lose him rather than Karlsson. But yeah, great sportsmanship and respect from him by not being negative about anything.
jim balsillie still want a team? rofl
So a dead baby joke gone wrong gets you a ticket outta Ottawa eh?
Love,

PS, I used a VPN so good luck tracing me, MELINDER DA DOI, serves you right for not liking my insta posts I worked so hard for eh

Sens management are the most idiotic in the league. It’s disgusting how horrible they are. Getting rid of Karlsson was a BAD move. What they got in return was even worse.
Karlsson is a solid dude and player. I hope the Sharks org treats him better than our Org did. I’m so tired of the ownership & management in Ottawa.
Edmonton is pretty bad too. Letting go of Hall was just as incompetent.
I mean they traded away our best player ever and they got so little in return
Montreal’s is the worst.
Agreed! This is gonna effect not only viewing statistics but team morale as well. He was a good captain, an amazing player, and overall a great guy! Always my captain EK65
JSkeleton I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back in free agency
My god you can tell he wants to stay, just not in the circumstances with Melnyk. Go win a cup in San Jose. You'll always be one of my favourite players.
Hearing the emotion in his voice hit me
@@brianc6163 pretty sure thats bc of the miscarriage
Well he deserves a cup... But not in San Jose lmao
TheKandyCinema He was even fighting back tears 😔
@@HobbiesWithNick ummm....getting close...not so lmfao now
When ur playing chel and get offered a trade and accidentally press accept
This couldn't be more accurate lol
J Litzenberger With auto save on
I hope Melnyk's secretary has taken all his BlackBerries so he can't trade anymore
Exactly what I was thinking.
at least I got karlsson on hut 😂😂
There goes 70% of the Senators fans
ZyXxOmAn and they barley had any 😂
prob 95 % of the swedish sens fans also.
ZyXxOmAn so now they have 4
99.9999999999% the remaining 0.0000000001% is Eugene Melnyk
yup, Melnyk and Dorion have done a great job gutting the culture out of the team.
Ottawa just became the Cleveland Browns of hockey
😂😂
I've grown up in Cleveland, I'm 27 ....I don't wish that on any city in any sport
Buffalo bills
Dude we were already.
The Deadmonton Coilers are the Cleveland Browns
He is a legend and will never be forgotten by Ottawa!
While Ottawa will be forgotten by many
Oh he is a legend, a shame he is not likely to be in the hall of fame one day since he got traded to SJ. That was unthinkable before he got traded. It was more about would he be able to supplant Lidstrom as the greatest Swedish player of all time
Sens will prob get first pick next year
OH WAIT NEVERMIND
Jackie to Colorado here we go!
Ottawa should just fold the franchise, it it just one big dumpster fire
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
I love how they must’ve went: “yeah, we can get a first from that.. they may be stacked team we’re sending for him to but hey, it’s a first rounder!”
From an Avs fan. I legitimately feel sorry for your fanbase. At the same time, I can't help but be happy that your GM is a moron and your team is a dumpster fire, given that the Avs hold your b̶a̶l̶l̶s̶ first rounder in our hands.
The sens don't deserve karlsson
*Melynk doesn't deserve Karlsson
Melnyk is going to have to get rid of another 5000 seats from the arena.
Domenic F im just watching this because of the tremendous respect i have for erik, im no way a fan of Ottawa or anything like that but Eugene melnyk is a complete piece of shit, especially knowing him on a personal level because of him trying to sue my dad and uncle for 100s of millions ( he failed of course) their needs to be a change of ownership ASAP
Breaking News: Senators trade their team for mechanical pencils and a conditional 11th round pick in 1939
This aged perfectly
@@jackmclaughlin5640 Hahaha this really did. Thanks for the reply I forgot I made this comment.
@@blockland30 ya, crazy to think this was 2 and a half years ago, still remember that day he was traded
WHAT!? im not a sens fan but i AM a Karlsson fan...this is gonna be a huge blow to the sens and their fans...congrats SJ, treat him well
"We would like to thank the Sens organization for so graciously lighting itself on fire in order to gift us with Jack Hughes" - Avalanche Hockey
KowashiHitori also an Avs fan. I can’t wait for the dumpster fire of a season the Sens are about to have.
KowashiHitori HABS ARE GETTING HUGHES FOR SURE
gbrockriede u guys r in a win win situation let’s say Colorado some how does make playoffs and gets a top ten pick along with let’s say a top 4 pick ur future would be set for the next 10 years
The pick is top 10 protected
Nope... We get the Sens pick next year no matter what it is. Even if it's number 1. It WAS conditional for them to pick last year.. they could either have given it to us or kept it since it was top 10. However since they kept that one... we get the 2019 pick no matter where it ends up.
The Pacific Division now has an even better Karlsson
Getzlaf Division
McDavid Division
Lmao there's now 3 Karlsson's in the West. 2 in San Jose and 1 in Vegas :D "Karlsson passes to Karlsson who dekes by Karlsson" lmao! Imagine how hilarious that will sound in the highlights or broadcast
Terho Ranki
It's happened before, especially with brothers. But yeah unless another trade happens, Erik will have an "E" before his last name on his jersey and Melker will have an "M"
Yeah, I know and both Karlssons have almost the similar player number in their backs too lol. So the front letter will be like a mandatory thing. Melker is #68 and E.K most likely will keep his old number #65 :D
Sens goes full Thrashers’ style.
Lol doesn't it remind you of when Kovalchuk and Hossa were traded? That team had nothing after.
Look at the jets now... tied for top teams in nhl 19... and I agree
YES!!! Welcome to San Jose.... can't wait to see you play in teal. can't believe we got erik karlsson here in sj. WoW GO SHARKS!!!! Thank you ottawa.
So sens trade a Norris trophy winner for a Norris of their own!
Smart move a few years later
When he picked that puck at the end of the game, I knew and I'm pretty sure he did, this was coming.
Sharks are going to be a tough team to play. Oilers fan cringing.
CanadianWatcher 693 I’m an Oilers and Sens fan 😭😭
UFCMania155 , ouch. Double cringe. I feel terrible for Sens fans. What a 💩 show there right now.
@@UFCMania155 same
CanadianWatcher 693 Fear no less my fellow Oilers fan, in McDavid we trust.
Roman Bellic , was watching video of him training this summer. Stick and foot work. Omg he's incredible!! He's so fast, your eyes almost can't keep up to what he's doing with the feet and puck same time.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those historic hockey moments that I tell my future kids about and people remember as one of the biggest mistakes in hockey history
For the Sharks
@@sportsallday7663 Historic Sens trade, Stutzle, Norris. Dorion did surprisingly well
This comment sure aged poorly in hindsight lol
Ottawa is going to regret this day for years
If only it was OUR mistake. Apparently this city did nothing wrong... but we know who DID! And will he have any regrets???
Really looking like it now, eh?
Replace Ottawa with SJ
I'm a leafs fan, Eric Karlsson is the only reason I had a respect for the sens. Big shoes to fill now. #respectedleader
As a lifetime Sens fan I am speechless
As long as Dorion has a job and Melnyk owns the team, I will not spend a penny on that organization. They have proved to be utterly incompetent and at times malicious.
The fact he said he wanted out says everything. He's 100% not sad he's leaving. It's too bad as they could have built a team around him
Pretty upsetting that you can tell he doesn't want to leave.
XxChaseRs seems more like an act to me, guy didn't want an extension and he didn't want to leave, to bad for him, guy wants to be the highest paid D in the league, he can get over himself
@@tx9mdy653 That could even be the case but from what I've heard the sens is one of the worst ran franchise in the NHL
Complete act. Shows he at least has class! The paperwork and an agreement would have been done long ago if he was staying.
@@tx9mdy653 John Tavares treated fans like trash and put on an act but I don't see you calling him out.
@@CaseOhSmugglesPigeons this...👆
Ottawa traded a 28 year old defenceman that easily (barring injury) will be a Top-10 defenceman of all time when all is said and done for a bunch of garbage. Obviously they got some solid pieces, but trading a generational defenceman for solid pieces is a shame. I seriously like the 3 pieces Montreal got for Pacioretty more than this package Ottawa got
You think top 10? I don't think quite that level... Elite for sure though
Daniel Harder definitely not a top ten dman haha. But yes, Ottawa got worked over on this deal.
I think he'll be that when he's done. He'll probably play 10 more years. The guy is born 1990!
Daniel Harder I could see it. Especially in a new setting surrounded by better players in San Jose
Patch is not the impact / dominate player that Eric is!!!
I am glad for you Erik..you will be great in California… hope the San Jose Sharks go far in the season and the series… love you Erik you are the best defensman since Bobby Orr
Our team is just in shambles. I literally feel like a joke as a fan; as if ownership and management think they are putting on some kind of horrible theatrical show rather than running a hockey a team. The actions of this "professional" and "qualified" management corps (who might as well be mindless toddlers) is so unexpectedly bad that you seriously wonder whether this is reality or theatre. I'm gutted.
The worst part is that they don’t have their first round pick this year. So you can’t even look forward to the draft lottery lol.
Dude. This is just...I don’t even know how to explain how hopeless this situation is.
@@6XXyeahdudeXX9 what about the fact that Duchene & Stone are UFA's next year and could also walk or get traded for a quarter of their worth lol
Sharks Fans are celebrating today!
Its like if we just won the cup. Honestly, thank you for being our dumpster for our stupid contract signings, and we got our 2nd Norris Trophy for peanuts. Hope theres a future megastar in your future, cause you guys deserve it!
Charlene Dwelle avs fans are ordering hughes jerseys
you damn right LOL
Dont Forget The avs
And crying now.
Fun to revisit all the comments on this trade 3 years later. Ottawa made out like bandits.
as a Sharks fan - welcome to San Jose Erik! you'll see that San Jose will embrace you and you will feel at home in no time.
As a Sharks fan I was so pumped, after watching this now I feel a little sorry for Karlsson :\
And Ottawa still has Bobby Ryans contract.
You will be well taken care of in California no doubt, it might not be the same atmosphere like in Canada but Sharks is a great organization
PumaTomten except for the literal atmosphere.
@@Hi.Im.Levi. you could use that for any team in Canada beside the sens and nucks when the team isn't doing well
Karlsson is gonna look a bit sketchy in teal doe. I'm still trynna imagine it in my head
Idk about that. If you read Evander Kane’s article in the Player’s Tribune, you might think differently. San Jose is a hockey town just like everywhere else.
San Jose is the best hockey atmosphere in the Western conference!
Welcome to San Jose! Can't wait for the season to start!
Going to miss those players we gave up! I’m very happy to see that DW noticed that he needed to add some power to the back end and as a SHARKS fan this is a great day for us.
Feel so bad for him, genuine guy. Shame the management couldn’t get their stuff together. You can really tell he’s speaking from the heart
MELNYK'S GOT TO GO MELNYK'S GOT TO GO!!!!!!
You know he OWNS the team right?
and dorion,,,they blame the players but what about dorion as coach eh?
Man this man is so humble and devoted, it makes me just like him that much more as one of the best hockey player of his generation and as a relatable person. The sharks smells blood in the water, they are now an even more serious contender to the stanley cup!
Here’s the sharks top power play unit:
Thornton
Couture
Hertl
Karlsson
Burns
This dude is gonna tear it up in San Jose.
Imo San Jose now has 2 of the best 5 D men in the league. Sharks are still not a power house team, but definitely a good one and will hopefully be exciting to watch this year.
Poe Javelski 3 of the best D men. Marc-Edouard Vlasic is one of the best true shut down defensemen in the league. That’s why he’s always selected to the Canadian National & Olympic teams. He’s just not an offensive d man, though he had his best year last year with 10 goals.
Humble speech.
Eugene just went full Cleveland Brown's... You NEVER go full Cleveland Brown's!
If Bryan Murray was still around this shitshow wouldn't be going on. God bless him.
@MrRebuttal maybe his player track record wasn't the best but you never got the impression that the franchise was being ran like a dumpster fire. Under his watch though, Ottawa was a good team and they had really good player on the team.
10/10 as the saddest end of an anime ever.
:}
Vlasic, Burns and Karlsson... Either pairing is like damn.
This guy is the best he is nothing but AAA class he's so great. I live in Toronto we would have loved to have had him he's so honest and genuine which you don't see to much anymore. He will do great things for San Jose!!
the 1st overall pick in the 2019 NHL draft belongs to
the Colorado Avalanche with their pick from the Ottawa Senators
This was a hard trade to make especially for karlsson he’s shaken up
Imagine having defenders like Burns, Vlasic and Erik Karlsson on the same team....
Do reporters ever listen? They legit pretty much asked him the same question 3 times.
What a great honest interview 🙏
Every year my dad and I drive to Ottawa to watch a sens game. I feel like it won't be as exciting now. Sens have always been my second favourite team mostly because of karlsson. I guess that's changing today
Sharks might’ve missed out on Tavares but who cares! They just got arguably a more valuable piece
Not even close to Tavares considering he hasn’t been the same since his foot injury
Jon Nord Karlsson is better. Look at his point totals and remember that he's a defenseman not a forward. He is a top 5 player in the NHL.
#NoTavaresNoProblem #GOSHARKS!!
You can see and hear in his voice he does love Ottawa and leaving is really hard for him.
Man, he's such a good guy.
I'll have to soften up my stance on the Sharks a bit for him now, but not too much. Still diehard Calgary fan.
Brad treliving should of traded gio, Brodie and Bennett for Karlsson
Burns and karlsson together is going to be nasty 🔥
Excited to see him in Teal!!!
Winnipeg should try and get Matt Duchene considering they seem to give away players for nothing.
Ryan Laing not worth his contract with laine in his contract year
Ryan Laing really look at how good the Av's did after Duchene was gone and where the Sens ended up after they got him.
The second part of that sentence aged badly
I wish him the best of luck! I think he'll fit in at San Jose.
got respect for the guy now
wish you the best of luck in san jose ottawa will miss you
These comments....
Not ageing well. Sharks got robbed and the Sens knew it.
Welcome Erik. You will be welcoming warmly in San Jose.
What a guy. hope he does great
HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BOI. 🦈🦈🦈🦈
Complete respect for the man.
Evidently he is super skilled which is great but even better is he is a wonderful guy.
Turris was another good human being for Ottawa.
Guys that are more than hockey players.
Well I guess I know who my new favorite shark is. Karlsson 😥😥😥
Which one, there's two of them.
Joey Steele When did they trade Melker?
Nice try moron.
@Joey Steele dumbass
Joey Steele you fking moron
Erik is a class act. I hope he will win the Cup.
As a sens fan I was not shocked like don't blame the sens management blame hofftmens girlfriend
Welcome Erik Karlsson to the San Joseeeee Shaaaarks!!!!
Wow. Poor Erik. You tell he really likes it there but all things come to an end. Having said that, WELCOME TO SAN JOSE!!
Don't worry Sens fans, we Sharks fans are going to take very good care of him. I believe he's going to like living in California and playing for a solid team like the Sharks. I really am sorry for your pain though. Your ownership/management hella sucks.
Congrats and best wishes for every success moving forward EK.. 🚨🚨🚨
Sharks fans are already getting the beer and snacks ready.
WELCOME TO THE SAN JOSE SHARKS. LETS GOO
This is as bad as when Boston traded Seguin! Unless you are a Stars fan 🙂. This guy is extremely humble and I hope he does well with the Sharks. They will be a team to watch for sure!!
Woah. This is fantastic for sharks fans
A consummate professional, Erik will be a huge asset to San Jose, good luck, you will be missed here in Canada
Zetterberg almost tearing up in an interview and now Karlsson almost tearing up. Let it all out boys.
I was so hoping he'd come to Vegas.
He will forget Ottawa when he starts living in beautiful sanjose.
Good for Erik, even though see seems a bit heartbroken. He is to good to play in the Sens. Now he has his chance for the cup. Congratulation to Sharks who gets one of the best defenceman ever! Good luck Erik!
He’s going to fit right in W/ the sharks & I know he will resign.. I see him being super marketable in SJ. I’m excited and ready for this season to begin!!!
Aged well fam 😂 did resign tho
I am a pens fan but I feel terrible for Ottawa fans 😥
One bay area team ships away the best defensive player and the other bay area team trades for the best.
Although he’s probably excited that all the drama and talk is over, he’s still holding back tears what a great dude. Ottawa misused his talent, good luck in San Jose man!
Also, I get that each reporter feels an obligation to get a specific storyline, but how many times did they have to ask variations of "did you see this coming" and "did you expect this" and "were you ready for this" with the same responses every time.
Thanks again Canada..You continue to amaze with your incompetence..You are the gift that keeps on giving to U.S hockey..I guess 25 years without the Cup isn't enough time to figure out how to do things correctly again.Here's to another 25...
“Never in my wildest dreams”
*grabs puck in last home game
Why couldn't they just trade bobby Ryan or Anderson? Then try get a contact extension for karlsson and stone and try go out and get a young goalie.
Nolan sleigh they don’t want to pay 11m for Karlsson
Easier said than done, who wants Ryan or Anderson and young goalies don't just grow on trees.
Unfortunately you can't just trade Anderson and Ryan, it's impossible at this point, their contract in relation to their skill is impossible to trade basically, however that Gustavsson kid you got is your next goalie
dreww doughty got 9+ M karlsson should have been offered that but wasnt ...8M i think it was
Now they going to make Erik Karlsson Jersey and redo Melker Karlsson Name tag on his jersey to M.KARLSSON and Erik Karlsson Name tag to E.KARLSSON because thats what they did when Luke Schenn and Brayden Schenn's name tags when they were playing for the Flyers together in 2014
Noooooooooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm a huge huge Senators fan, and we lost Karlsson😭😭😭
But we still have Matt Duchene and Mark Stone. But that's not enough
Absolutely terrible. Not only from a strategic point of view, but just such a horrible and unnecessary thing to happen to a guy like Karlsson. Clearly a genuine and kind man who did not want to leave his home where he has planted his roots, but thanks to a horrible and cheap organization Karlsson is put in a position where he has no choice.
Wow I haven't seen a player like this sad and upset to leave in a while. You can tell he doesn't want to go, especially with that last answer to that last question. Good luck in SJ, EK..
STANLEY CUP HERE WE COME!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!
LAST PLACE 2 SEASONS IN A ROW HERE WE COME!!! WHOOOOOOOO!!!
@@LegoGBlok NUMBER ONE PICK HERE WE COME BABY
Better see like 50 Karlsson jerseys on the ice during the home opener
Pennies on the dollar for a generational defenceman 👏👏👏. I hope Melnyk's liver donor still has the reciept.
Any fan of his has to be happy, players like him dont come around often he deserves more than to be a backbone for a rough rebuild under failing ownership/management.
