Per Sportsnet.
He has been traded for forward Chris Tierney, defenceman Dylan DeMelo, and forward prospects Josh Norris and Rudolfs Balcers — as well as a first-round draft pick (2019 or 2020) and a second-round pick in 2019. If the Sharks miss the playoffs in 2018-19, that first-rounder will be in 2019; otherwise, it’s a 2020 first-round pick that will go to Ottawa.
In addition, there are also two conditional picks involved having to do with a contract extension.
All in all not what I would hope for if I was a sens fan.
Tierney is a decent player, and Josh Norris is a blue chip prospect d. But this doesn't seem like nearly the return one wold have expected.
Ultimately it feels like Ottawa needed to turn the page, Karllsen wants to go to free agency, and so no one was going to give up the farm for him.
San Jose is basically renting him for a year.
Let the rumors swirl on where he will go as a UFA next year!!!!
