things are going to really get interesting in ottawa....

"When I go to market, I'm going to get what I'm worth, and it's going to be no less, no matter where I'm going," Karlsson told Ken Warren of the Ottawa Sun.
"That's the business part of it ... I think it's time to realize that when we go to the table, it's business on both parts, not just (owners)."
Karlsson's comments come just two days after Los Angeles Kings blue-liner Drew Doughty made it known he'll use P.K. Subban's salary as the benchmark when he's up for a contract renewal in the same offseason as Karlsson.
...
"I like it here, I'm comfortable here, I've been here my whole career," Karlsson added. "It's something that I invested all my time in and something I would like to see all the way through.
"But at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, if it's not the right fit and it's not going to work out business-wise, then you're going to have to look elsewhere because that's what (owners) are going to do, as well."

Subban makes $9M. Doughty makes $7M, and Karlsson under $6.5M.
As per the article, Karlsson has led defencemen in scoring in 3 of the last 4 years, and also has 2 x Norris trophies! He'll be 29 or 30 when it's time to re-up.
Am really curious what his number comes out to... Will a team really give him a $10M a year deal for 6-7 years?
