Karlsson and Klingberg came in and you could see instantly they could dominate a game offensively, Ghost….it’s almost like the kid who’s not good but always scores in your beer league.
Yikes! You might need glasses! I also think you have a short memory, Karlsson's first two years were very underwhelming, I don't think there was one prognosticator who predicted he would become what he has. He was minus a hundred and looked like he would be a liability and in the NHL it doesn't matter how good your offence is if you aren't at least competent defensively.
Gostisbehere set records and finished with something like .75 ppg better than Klingberg's first year and I believe better than Klingberg this year too.
For your viewing pleasure. Maybe you're right, this doesn't look like a guy who is good at hockey or can dominate offensively.
