Karlsson doing his part to single-handedly save me from a horrid offensive week. Nice line of 1G, 1A, +1, 1PPP, 8SOG (and another 5 blocked and three missed, for 16 shot attempts total).
Last night's game speaks volumes about Karlsson. He's not just a PP guy, he's even producing at even strength - two points last night, one on the PP and one at ES, and only 45 seconds of PP time. He has 19 ES points and 14 PP points, a 42% PP to ES ratio, that's quite telling. I always worry when guys are getting lots of points but with significantly more than 50% being on the PP.

Karlsson was easily the best player on the ice tonight. Wow.

Another 2 points tonight including setting up the GWG in OT. The kid now has 37 points in the first 40 games. Am I being too conservative if I say he scores 25 points in the last 42 GP and finishes with 62?

Over the next 3 years...who's the guy to own productionwise? Double D has had a rough year but has always been figured a top 3 or 4 offensive defenceman moving forward. Still true? Who rounds out the top 5 over the next 3 years? In order?
Guessing names will include
Doughty
Karlsson
Weber
Green? If he's healthy?
?????
Has to be Karlsson, hands down IMO. The only debate will be if/when Green is healthy and where he ends up.
I traded for Doughty a couple of weeks ago and have been watching the Kings closely ever since and Doughty has not impressed me. I'm chalking this year up to a "down year" for him, but he looks a bit sluggish and isn't playing with the same offensive flair he showed a couple years ago. To make matters worse, the Kings seem to be struggling to generate any type of surging offense as a team.
As for the other guys, Weber is a beast but I want to see how it shakes out in Nashville. Yandle is a wizard and an incredible catalyst but the Yotes need to get better before he's smashing 60. Letang needs to be in the discussion but his value is a bit tarnished by injuries and team-dependency.
To me, Karlsson IS the engine that drives the Senators offense. He plays as much as he wants and is a staple on the PP. His skill level is off the charts and his confidence is scary. If/when the Senators get better, Karlsson is a 70-80 point threat. He has 37 points in 40GP this year and I've seen him hit 4 posts, miss 1 clear empty-netter and lose out on a handful of assists on "goals" that should have been scored in front by his teammates. I can honestly say that Karlsson could easily have had 41-43 points at least right now.

I'll be the first to admit, I haven't given karlsson near enough credit in the past.
I still take Doughty, Green, and Letang before him in a keeper though. Karlsson has proved me very wrong already though, so don't listen to me.
