It is really the silence of the NHL out of season. There are no hearings with arbitration, because all players have new contracts. There are only a handful of RFAs, including Mason Mctavish, Marco Rossi and Luke Hughes, looking for new deals. However, there is some speculation about the fate of Erik Karlsson with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Dating from last season, there was talk of the penguins that may go further from Karlsson. He is never really appropriate in the Penguins system. Although his figures are not terrible, Karlsson is not the 100-point player he was with the San Jose Sharks. But speculation is growing and one of the teams related to Erik Karlsson has been the Detroit Red Wings.
Such as Jim Biringer from Nhlrumors.com and full press hockey discussed Bob Duff from Detroit Hockey Now Is there a suitable for Erik Karlsson on the Detroit Red Wings during a recent episode of the Full Press NHL Podcast?

NHL Rumors: Carter Hart and Erik Karlsson
Jim Biringer: “I saw a few articles that you had, where they were talking about Erik Karlsson, the names of Nazem Kadri came out and have called the wings. But do you really see the two players in that team? I mean, it doesn’t feel like Kadri is going somewhere. But seems like Karlsson and Detroit always come up.”
Bob Duff: “I just don’t see the fit with Karlsson, partly because of the salary, but mainly because, in this phase of his career where he will help a team, usually in the Power Play. And the Red Wings had a huge Power Play last year, because they are not more than five in five goals. (James) of Reimdyk.
But again, he is a man who has almost made hay on the Power Play, as if he is not going to score. I don’t think many five-five goals. So I just don’t see it, and from the point of view of Karlsson, why would he want to come here? As, if you are at this stage of your career, you don’t want to try to win the Stanley Cup, and you don’t want to go to a team that, even if they have made the play -offs, they are probably still a few years away from where you could say they were a cup match. “
As Duff mentions, the Red Wings do not want to move their top perspectives, something a team like the Penguins would like in exchange for Karlsson. Not to mention the fact, why would you mess with a good thing? Just like the Power Play van Penguins, where the units clicked on all cylinders, Pittsburgh took a step back to the advantage of the man when Karlsson was added to the fold. There is only so much puck to go around. Look what happened in San Jose when Brent Burns and Karlsson were together.
