I chatted with sources from a couple of front offices who felt Karlsson had to become something in the range of an $8 million to $8.5 million player to make it all work. ![]() How much money are the Sharks willing to eat on Karlsson’s contract? Or what kind of contracts would they take back to make it work?.The vast majority of contenders are too tight to the cap.I’m told that a few teams have already kicked tires over the past week, so the process has commenced, but it’s been described to me as very much in the early stages. ![]() He really wants a chance to win before his career is over, and it’s not coming with the rebuilding Sharks. Karlsson’s full no-movement clause means he’s got a say in where he lands, but my impression is he’s going to be fairly open-minded. And Karlsson really wants to be moved to a team where he’s got a chance to win.

The cheapest tickets for that one are more than $900. People are also buying up tickets for a possible Game 6 at Amalie Arena with the hope that might be the game where the Bolts hoist the Stanley Cup again. But again, those are for tickets in the proverbial nose-bleed section. Similar pricing of roughly $800 to just get into the arena was on StubHub while some tickets for Game 3 could be found for as low as $431 on SeatGeek.
