Until it's guaranteed that Karlsson won't be outscoring Laine from the blue line, I want Karlsson
So the season is over and already the off season trading has begun. I have 7 keepers to choose. So far I have McDavid, Scheiffle, Eichel, Karlsson, Holtby, Bishop, Bobrovsky, Dubois NA, Puljijarvi NA and Gaudreau to use as trade bait. I could keep the 7 I mentioned and trade Gaudreau for picks. Or should I use say Gaudreau and Karlsson to get Laine and Kapanen NA. Torn as to which direction I should take. Would be great to have Laine with Scheiffle but it'd be tough to move Karlsson. Any suggestions is appreciated.

Karlsson for me. Laine is a nice young piece but Karlsson is the best fantasy asset in his position (or 2nd best).

Karlsson. Laine has promise and a fantastic season under his belt, but you have to stick with the guy who's a thread for 70+ points from the blueline every year.

Karlsson, it's basically like having a top tier forward who you can slot in as a dman (production wise)

No brainer keep Karlsson - would be tempted to shop all and see what sticks though as you could majorly upgrade your picks with some of those guys if you don't keep them....
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I agree with everyone else, keep Karlsson.
