Tampa is pulling Karlsson off of the market for now and will re-evaluate near the trade deadline. There was a lot of interest and I really appreciate the back and forth and some really good guidance from a particular owner who I communicated with over a dozen times and was willing to share his wisdom with me. Thanks to all.

Just when I thought I had pulled Karlsson off of the market I got a STRONG offer from a contending team in the West. "A deal could be imminent" says a team source seen walking out of a local MOPED shop late Friday afternoon.

We here in Vancouver have one question to ask,why our owner and Gm was in the Tampa area for the last few day with the the team getting ready for the opening of season 20, could there be a big change in their roster or he just was there to get a tan ?

Deal has been completed.
Sources say that they are surprised that the new GM of Tampa was able to get as much for Karlsson. Local Tampa reporter Bray Kingnews stated "We have questioned the intelligence of the GM, that took over last year, many times. This trade give us some hope that he has an IQ over 60, as we previously may have thought." Tampa GM Grable stated that he will miss Karlsson's leadership but was happy to see him move to a team that can contend.
