Eight years is nothing. The Sharks should take the Kawhi approach with Karlsson moving forward, and if he's not feeling 100% for a regular season game, he doesn't go. Protect the investment.
As hobbled as he was, he had 16 points in 19 games, and he was a catalyst during that ridiculous comeback against Vegas, as well as the setup man on the OT winner.
I predict two more Norris trophies during this contract for #65.
