With the Erik Karlsson scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk warned that his team can't go "toe-to-toe" with the big markets. In other words, Karlsson will have to be "reasonable" with his contract demands. The question is, what's reasonable for a 21-year-old defenseman that is coming off a 78-point season? The Senators and Karlsson should be able to come to an agreement, but Karlsson will probably come with a cap hit in excess of $6 million next season.
