Some rumours on twitter (from unconfirmed sources) that the team may actually be up for sale too...so maybe that’s the next one.

Imagine if the St Louis Blues did end up moving to Saskatoon.

Surely there are many billionaires lining up to lose money in that market, fans must be really excited.

People lined up for Phoenix. They'll find someone for Ottawa. Especially once the downtown arena deal is finalized.

One lingering rumor has Guy Laliberté (Founder of Cirque du Soleil) being interested in an NHL team but he's also from Quebec City....would they dare try moving Ottawa to Quebec City.

The new arena deal in Ottawa has kind of stalled and Quebec City has that nice new rink sitting there needing a new tenant.

I doubt it happens but that team has struggled to draw even when good so it's an interesting thought.

I think Vegas makes sense on many levels.

They have the cap room to absorb both Bobby Ryan and Karlsson's salaries. The addition of Ryan, which I'm sure the Sens will still try to include, will reduce the ask as well. Vegas has quite a bit of depth that they could use to send the other way if Ottawa wants help right away.

There is a 100% chance he plays in the NHL again.

It would be hard for a GM to face his owner if they didn't meet expectations that season and there was a ~25 goal scorer to be had for cheap on the market.

I hate to speculate, but there sure is a ton of smoke coming from the Hoffman gf side here. I feel bad for the Karlsson's. What a beautiful couple they are, it's sad what they had to endure.

Buried in all of this is Karlsson's wife allegedly popping painkillers while pregnant.

That was one of the alleged accounts that Hoffman's fiancee allegedly used.

This isn’t buried at all- it’s the very main focal point of the story and one of the public comments that forced the Karlsson’s to take legal action.

That person is obviously a troll and odds are it is Monika Caryk. The Karlsson’s are the victims in this case.

Obviously it is one of Monika Caryk's alleged accounts. Doesn't mean her accusations hold no validity.

Funny how people believe what they want to believe, when there are no facts yet either way

Apparently we're supposed to weigh the possibility that she's a junky.

I think the point was more that it was never "buried".

Even if she was, it still wouldn't be an excuse for the harassment, but it is a possibility. While she is a victim of harassment, I just mean that until all of the facts come out, we are jumping to a lot of conclusions.

I know I wouldn't feel like she was much a victim if she was popping pills.
