Yes. He's a keeper. With how bad San Jose was this year, he was still basically a 60 point pace. That's probably his floor, with his point per game stud status as the upside. I could see him finishing in the 65-70 point range next season.
What are your thoughts on Erik Karlsson?
will he ever achieve fantasy stud status again (assuming healthy next year) or is he just a ''good but not great'' keeper worthy player?
H2H league where you count
G A P +/- PIM PPP SOG HIT BLK
This year he is on a 0.71 PPG pace (58 pts if he played all 82 games).
Whats your take on him? Keep him and hope for a rebound season or sell him although his value is pretty low right now?

He was on pace for another elite scoring season, not his prior level of greatness, but still great.
He's above being just a good keeper in many formats.

Talk yourself off the ledge. He’s a superstar and at half capacity plays like many current star D. He’s a keeper.
If I wasn't in a salary cap league where Karlsson costs $14M, I'd be buying him. He's got years left of superstar production left and he's being valued quite low due to his previous generational-level production.
Not only keeper worthy but still a top 5 fantasy defenseman.

As always the details matter: How Many Keepers and what are the other options?
Karlsson still has many good to great seasons left in him, only his +/- is of any real concern. In a keep 5 or more he's most likely a keeper.

Seems like everyone is on board with Karlsson generally being an elite own.
have an opportunity to pick him up but would need to give up Barzal and S Theodore. I'm a bit light on FWD keepers (ovi, kuzn, others are a step below - voracek/benn/radulov/drouin/eKane) and maybe ok at def (hamilton, yandle, buf, hughes). looking to improve my core keepers. categories are G/A/+-/PIM. Thanks
I would make that move. Forwards are a lot easier to find.
