Everyone knows you pay premium price to get a top 3 defenseman in the league so you can have the chance to pair him up with a borderline NHL player.
- Scabeh

He may not be Sergachev good, but he’s already playing like a top-4 guy, and is making Polak less terrible.

Probably better than anyone Karlsson’s played with this season.

Don’t really want Karlsson. Doesn’t look like the player he was. Would sign him if he showed he could rebound back to being a fantastic offensive that’s terrible defensively, rather than a nonexistent offensive threat that is godawful defensively.

But at this point in time, I see no reason to give up assets for him.

The Finns were disappointing but at least the Swedes got eliminated too

Bingo

I know he is not the best defensively, but some guys have been blowing by him and he has looked awfully slow on those plays. Could be like Forsbergs foot issues that ended his career?

guys were blowing by him in years past too.

he had methot to bail him out and anderson not being a sieve to cover up those mistakes.

I'll take your word for it Glucky. You've obviously watched him way more than I did.

As for Karlsson, I think he'll bounce back, he didn't have that long to recover from a major injury and his whole team shat the bet most of the year.

He'll be back to form next season imo.

I'd love Karlsson on this team.
Although I love Tavares, Karlsson would probably more of an add to the team than Tavares.

Not sure who could be Karlsson's parnter on D though - maybe Dermott most fit going forward?
- MaximusAurelius

Doughty would be better than both. Jt would be a great add.....but a number 1 D would be huge.

What are you willing to give up?

2nd rounder

Karlsson

Who cares if they won, what matters is if they outshot their opponent. No team that allows more shots than they generate will ever win (last year notwithstanding).

JVR (pending UFA, needs to be more of a roster player add)
Kapanen (sure)

Not even if it means watching and hearing the entire Sens fan base implode? I recall when the Wings traded for Chelios. It was beautiful. ☺

I love Dorion's interviews. Guy sweats more than Richard Simmons. I'm just waiting for him to trade Karlsson and run around the press area screaming "I'm a pony! I'm a pony!"
