According to reporter Luke Fox, Karlsson has informed San Jose that he would like to be traded, preferably as soon as possible. He adds that while there is not a strict timeline on San Jose to get a deal done, Karlsson would like to go wherever gives him the best chance at winning a cup.
It looks like Karlsson realizes his time might be running out, and wants to win that prized Stanley Cup before calling it a career.
Karlsson gave an interesting quote to go along with the report of his trade request.
While the logic may not make sense to everyone, it certainly makes sense to Karlsson. He wants to play important games and be a difference-maker. The current favorite to win the Norris Trophy wants to get his hands on that beautiful Stanley Cup, and won't stop until it's his.
