Not to advocate for Karlsson, but this injury thing is being vastly overstated. In 10 years he's had 3 significant injuries: Groin this year, broken foot/ankle at the end of 16/17 (recovery from surgery caused him to miss first 5 games of 17-18, but he did not actually have any injuries that year), and a cut achilles in 2013. 324 consecutive games played between the achilles and the broken foot. It's not like he has chronic, recurring injuries. Trouba has 3 significant injuries in 6 seasons.

Dude, you should've said Foote Fetish. That would've been funny stuff!

It's gonna be interesting, no doubt.

That's the thing with Foote. Like I said, I'm not sure that they can afford to lose a top prospect lile him unless they're getting something really juicy in return. I'm assuming they'd be able to dump the Callahan contract without being forced to include Foote.

1. You're using Boqvist wrong. My point in bringing him up, and what his play demonstrates is almost exactly the opposite of what you're trying to say. Based on his production (or lack thereof) in the SHL/Allsvenskan you would have concluded that he had less offensive potential than the other top D prospects. But then he came to the OHL and scored just as well as the other top guys (while being almost a full year younger). What his track record shows is that European Pro leagues are not the same as NA Jr leagues, so we shouldn't expect similar production. Also, last year was considered very deep for defense, and he still went top-10. Kind of shoots a hole in your theory that Broberg is just being overrated because it's a weak year. 3. That's not what people mean when they say that. It just means that those players look to have similar potential. Of course not all will develop the same. Also it's laughable to think you can already draw any conclusions about last year's draft.

Foote is a nice pipe dream but there’s zero chance Tampa will involve trading away a 14th overall pick in Foote , he’s gonna be one of the younger future dmen of the team learning from hedman etc.. if worse comes to worse they’d just offer the 2020 2nd and Callahan and someone will bite on it 100% if they said its it’s that or nothing to Holland I’d do it but I’d try and get the 27th for 60 or 66th and maybe like a 4th or 5th in 2020 and send back like delarose or something on the lower end if we have to add Where’s broberg coming from? Zero chance we take him at #6 Ya Foote isn’t happening at all , rather keep the second over raddysh and try and land a kotchekov,fagemo,holmstrom,kolyachonok,thrun,struble ... someone with upside don’t wanna have to give up a 2nd round pick for a forward when we already have a ton of forwards with potential coming real soon + the 6th pick , Foote different story but I don’t see them trading him at all

Nah, I dont think it would be that costly for either. If they really want to trade Callahan's contract, it's going to cost them... I think it would be more like... To DET: Callahan, Raddysh, 2019 3rd round pick (TBL) To TBL: 2019 2nd round pick (SJS) OR To DET: Callahan, Foote To TBL: 2019 2nd round pick (DET), 2020 3rd round pick (WSH)
