Sooooooo much wrong with this post. apologist much? He has always gotten credit for his great offense. He has also always taken flak for his lack of defense.Karlsson is too big an ego to run behind a Burns. That was evident. Coupled with his injury troubles, a wild contract and people simply couldn't objectively watch him. He makes a bad defensive play everyone jumps on him. While never really getting credit for his offensive skills. It's a weird take on Karlsson. He is overpaid, surely, but the hate he gets because of that is unjustified. It's mostly salty people who are likely underpaid and overworked in their own lives and projecting. Dude is an elite defenseman in the NHL. Will he win the Norris again? Not likely. Still though, he is a top tier player in the league and makes the game exciting when he is out there.
OiGF/60 5.0 & oiGA/60 4.1 equals almost +1 per 60 minutes of hockey while playing for a terrible team.He's still the guy whose 4point night means nothing as his poor defense costs you as many goals.
So +0.35 or something per game if he plays 20+minutes per night. Idk how this compares but doesn't sound eliteOiGF/60 5.0 & oiGA/60 4.1 equals almost +1 per 60 minutes of hockey while playing for a terrible team.
In a vacuum, but look at that roster. Anything plus is an achievement in itself.So +0.35 or something per game if he plays 20+minutes per night. Idk how this compares but doesn't sound elite

Look at plus minus as a relative to teammates, not against a top team vs a bottom team. Makes it look like you don’t understand +/-Yeah I don't think so. Karlsson is being Karlsson, putting up points but still a minus player. Makar is having perhaps his worst start to a season, Avs as a team are not playing very good so far, but Makar is still taking care of his own zone and he's even on plus minus side.
Does he get the nod now?Still want to see more, my poll response has not changed.
Does he get the nod now?
Sure, for this season.
Are you going to ask the other 86 people too?
Rangers fans are beginning to split into the Church of Adam Fox and tinfoil hat wearers who say "he's been off for a month now" every month.When the EK fans are so rabid they come after...the reasonable EK fans.
I only care about you. No offence to the other 86 people who i’m sure are lovely people.Sure, for this season.
