They have needed someone who thinks the game the way they do. Elias Lindholm is a better player than Jiri Hudler in every way, except his slap shot. He's seemed like a perfect fit there since we acquired him.

Chemistry is such an important aspect of trades. Watching San Jose lose to the Islanders today, it’s clear the Sharks haven’t figured out how to deploy Karlsson.
