At 33 years old, individual accolades aren't cutting it for Erik Karlsson -- he wants his shot at a Stanley Cup and both he and Sharks GM Mike Grier know that opportunity isn't in San Jose.

It's literally a direct quote from Karlsson.
"“I'm the best when you need to be the best. But if I don't have the chance to get to the place where you need to play the big games, then I might as well not do it. I could go through 82 games a year and be good, but I want to play when it matters,” Karlsson said.
“In the stage of my career, that's what I'm looking for. And there's no particular team [in mind]. Whenever it comes down to it, I'm gonna look at all the teams and be like: ‘I think this is the winning team.’ That's not to say we're going to win, but I think this is where I can have the most impact.”"
