I guess you want him on your team because he's a top scorer but he's so bad defensively that he's a boom or bust guy. The fact that the more he scores the worse the Senators record is makes me wonder if any team could truly win anything substantial with this guy being your top defenseman.

Apparently you didn't see the game last night either. Of the three 5 on 5 goals he was on for last night, one was the result of a rookie forward failing to take Etem while Karlsson covered his man in front of the net. The other two goals were from Bartkowski coming in from the point. Do you think Karlsson should be covering dmen on the point?
But keep basing your opinions on the boxscore. It is almost as bad as the silly stats lovers.
