08:29 AM ET 05.09 | It could be a long summer in Ottawa, where the Senators have signing defenceman Erik Karlsson to worry about. [With] Karlsson, 21, set to become a restricted free agent July 1, it's in the best interests of the Senators to try to get a deal done quickly so GM Bryan Murray can get on with the rest of his summer. However, some league executives and agents contacted by the Ottawa Sun in the last couple of days predict there's not going to be anything fast about these talks unless the Senators immediately fork over $7 million per season. "People in Ottawa should be prepared for this to take until training camp," said one league executive requesting anonymity. "It could happen if both sides decide to dig in their heels on this one."

Pay the kid, we already know he's not a Gomez....... I think this kid is great, and should get a decent raise. Watching him play says he's worth it, or at least 6mil per.....

I'm sure his agent wants it done in as few 'spit takes' as possible.

Too early to hand over bucket loads.
I'd offer good money but not great money.

I'd be much more OK with this guy than Suter.
But again, don't throw bushels of $$ at him.

I don't know, but I think WKRP oughta extend his contract. He has handled, Andy and Venus and Johnny very well.
Nobody expects…

Yea, but he is their news guy so he's just acting like they all do these days. Good move by Karlsson to keep current.
