Karlsson - No timeline

[quantaloup]

Time to shop him in one year leagues? Or just panicking, as he is the center piece of two of my teams?

If you own him don't sell low. If anything now is the time to buy.

Agreed.

He bounced back quicker than expected from the Achilles injury if I recall.

Worst case scenario you stash him on your IR and fill the void with another hot at the moment D-man.

NEW YORK -- Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson is planning to make his 2017-18 season debut in October, but playing opening night is a longshot because he still hasn't skated since having surgery on four torn tendons in his left foot on June 14.

The Senators open the season against the Washington Capitals at Canadian Tire Centre on Oct. 5.

"Once I start skating you never know how quick things will develop," Karlsson said. "If everything is healed I should be fine to push it by then, but if I don't feel ready it's probably going to be better for me not to start the season. But I'll be back sometime in October for sure."

CBC knows how to get it's clicks.

In H2H leagues, this has no impact on Karlsson's value. And roto leagues are boring. Nothing to see here...

How long he's out will impact how many points I think Ottawa will get this year.

If anything it lowers his perceived value, but not his actual value. Try and buy low, but dont sell low. He'll enter the season maybe on IR, then you get to pick up someone and stream right off the bat.

[dejeanneret]

Obviously want to make I get him in my daily starts league if he's ready to roll.

Karlsson (foot) ruled himself out for Saturday's home contest against the Red Wings, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. "I'm not going to play tonight. It's going to be day-to-day here, " said the defenseman.

Any update on EK's status for the week?

Please post here in the morning - lineups lock by noon Monday for those of us in weekly leagues.

Karlsson is not going with the team to start the West Coast road trip.

From the Citizen:

Karlsson wasn’t able to start the season because of off-season ankle surgery and his status remains unknown. He didn’t make the trip, but could join the Senators before they face the Calgary Flames on Friday or the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.

Personally, I think it makes the most sense to keep him at home. It's a three-game road trip, so let him stay here and rest up.
