They traded spare parts for Karlsson. They can trade him at the trade deadline, or at the draft, for certainly more than they got themselves if it comes to that.
Sharks can trade from a position of strength rather than a position of weakness like the Sens.
It's a pure win no matter what happens. The chance of losing him outright to free agency is worth the trade and the positives, remove Karlsson and they only lost a little bit of easily replaceable depth. They will easily see value back from selling Karlsson jerseys
