This is the same thing everyone said after Cooke sliced his achilles and he's recovered to have some of the best seasons of any modern defenseman. You can never go wrong paying star players what they deserve, as long as you have a GM capable enough to surround them with solid depth.
With all the smoke, it seems like Karlsson will probably move on, but I can't even imagine the price.
