He's in a steep injury induced decline and that isn't likely to change. Not that we need to sign the guy, but I think you're exaggerating a bit here. His .85 points per game this year is basically the same as he's had for most of his career. The injury cost him games, but he was still a VERY effective defenseman on this ice. So I guess my question about Karlsson would be whether he's going to continue to miss time, and not whether he's going to be "in decline". Nothing about his effectiveness seems to be declining. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think anyone really thinks that Karlsson's game is going to dramatically decline in the next few seasons, but the question is, will Karlsson's game dramatically decline in 3+ years from now? I tend to think it will... We're not going to be Cup contenders in the next few seasons, and Karlsson alone doesn't change that. I think he would be a great signing for a team that is a piece or two away, but a terrible signing for a team that is rebuilding and several pieces away (Detroit). Do. Not. Want.

He said that Karlsson is in a "steep injury induced decline", which I guess is what you disagree with, but he also said "any longer than 4 years", which would lead me to believe that he doesn't think that steep decline will take effect for another few seasons. I tend to agree. Sure, it's possible that he plays at this current level for another 5+ seasons, but I highly doubt it. The injuries that Karlsson has suffered over the past couple seasons, I would expect to have lingering effects. I do believe that whoever signs Karlsson this summer will regret it in a few seasons, assuming they don't win a Cup in that time... I hope Yzerman stays far away...

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted June 3, 2019 Pagnotta is reporting that Hall is not re-signing with NJ. *cue every Leafs fan to start penciling Hall into their lineup* Does this make the 1 for 1 trade of Hall for Larsson less bad looking for Edmonton now?
