Reply With QuoteI would not shop Karlsson around, but I would listen to offers. People really underestimates the value of a 70pts defenceman. That's why it would be hard to get what he's worth. Enjoy the production he's giving you.

awesome replies guys...I'm glad someone noticed the irony of the buy low/sell high predicament that all Karlsson owners find themselves in.
good advice from everyone...but i think what's stuck with me is to wait for the offers to come to me (if they do) instead of me searching out a deal.
cheers

Probably the best option - I own him in 4 leagues and have never shopped him (got him at least 2 yrs ago in each). He isn't going to get 70+ every year but is IMO pretty much a guarantee for 55-60 at least, which is not common for a d-man.

Last season I traded my Karlsson/Datsyuk for Stamkos/Chara, for most people it seemed to be a nobrainer move. But I actually gave it a lot of thought. Had Green a couple of seasons ago and won a title with him on my roster (my 1st round pick that season). Elite numbers from D men such as Karlsson is so rare that if you havent had them on your team you cant really determine the value of such a player.
Well probably most of the posters here can, but not everyone who plays fantasy hockey is all nerdy about it like us.
The reasons I finally decided to go along with the trade were that its a goal heavy(Stamkos) multicat. (Chara) league. But I still miss Karlsson.

The buy low / sell high theory does not apply when you are talking about selling high on a elite fantasy player. You can climb the ladder with lower tier players but once you get one of the elite players at their position, you begin to try applying the same buy low / sell high theory with other players you own. The game eventually stops is what I am trying to say.
In terms of Karlsson, if you own him, its the end game. Try to leverage other players to upgrade. Keep Karlsson.
Unless you get a completely ridiculous offer that is clearly an immediate accept which results in a complete and utter rape for you.
