The more I read and watch videos, I don't think the "bust" component has anything to do with attitude or injuries, but with Hockey IQ. That WJC shift-by-shift video dramatically exposed his weakness in the defensive end. Hopefully this can be rectified with coaching because if he remains a defensive liability, he won't be making it.
Offensively, Karlsson is definitely a comparable. If he can just become an average NHL defender, his offense will make up for the rest.
