Erik Karlsson is reportedly staying in San Jose.
According to Pierre LeBrun of TSN, the star defenseman has reportedly agreed to an eight-year contract extension with the Sharks that will pay him “north of $11 million per season,” adding the Sharks have made “a huge move in keeping the superstar D from hitting the market.”
TSN’s Bob McKenzie also reported that Karlsson is heading back to San Jose:

All signs are pointing to Erik Karlsson returning to SJ and re-signing with the Sharks, which would take the most prominent name off the 2019 UFA board.

I would expect Karlsson’s AAV to come in at around $11.5M. https://t.co/RLLv1DoOg7
