Elliotte Friedman Confirms Major Erik Karlsson Rumour

Erik Karlsson's trade out of San Jose is no longer an 'if', but a 'when'. It has come down to two teams, with Carolina and Pittsburgh both in the mix. The three-time Norris-winner, and future Hall-of-Famer won't come cheap, but he is certainly a difference-maker.

It had already been reported that Pittsburgh was Karlsson's ideal destination, and per super-insider Elliotte Friedman, a bidding war has emerged between them and the Carolina Hurricanes.

While Kyle Dubas is aggressive in trying to acquire Karlsson, the Hurricanes have tradeable assets and cap-space, which gives them the ultimate edge.

Friedman did express how difficult this story has been to cover, as it changes so often.

Friedman is seldom wrong about this type of stuff, so when he says something, you can bet it'll happen! The winner of the EK65 bidding war will be decided very soon.
