    Default E. Karlsson Dropped

    Erik Karlsson recently dropped in my league—yet to clear waivers. I'm pretty content with my situation at the D position, especially given my league's strong scoring emphasis on peripherals, but am I crazy for leaving him out there on waivers?

    He's been quite a disappointment so far and he doesn't provide Hits and Blocks. I don't see any D you need to swap out with him. You could drop a forward like Gurianov if this isn't a keeper league.

    I would temper your expectation though.

    Where are you in waiver priority?

    Depending on where you are and how often players are claimed on waivers in your league is important.

    If you have the room, I would consider adding him and hope he has a hot stretch of 3-4 games with 6-8 points... then trade him.

    But there is no guarantee he ever has that stretch.

    As a sharks fan I will say this. Last night he looked like the old Karlsson.

    First time in nearly a year tho so unless he has 3 games like that I would not get excited.

    Only reason I am putting a claim on him is my defense is Dahlin/Rasmus Anderson and Morrissey so it can only go up from there. My forwards are disgusting so I rarely worry about my d in a points heavy league with no peripherals other than FOW and PIM

    Music to my ears right there!

    Be sure to let us know if he puts together a few games like that.

    As for the question... now that he scored a goal last night, I think you have to put a claim in to get him. I don';t think he slips through waivers now. Recency bias will play a roll in that.
