I'm sure if Karlsson would have spent an extra year in Sweden he would have broken that record that Rundblad broke.
Thats not how it works m8, it's how much when and with who that matters most.

No comprende.
Well for starters would karlsson have a lindström lehtonen or anders forsberg in 09 if he stayed another year?
Oh so your argument may have actually been in favour of Karlsson?
Considering what I've seen from that kid, I think he could have done a lot of scoring on his own in that league. If the coach let him run wild. He can play cat and mouse in the NHL on small ice...I think he could do it in Sweden on big ice.
Yeah they are similar, I think they Senator fans will find they similar both in style of game and in talent.
Not sure if serious.
Rundblad posted the second best points total by a defenseman ever in the SEL last year, with 50 points in 53 games. He also won the Salming Award, awarded to the best defenseman in the SEL. Erik Karlsson topped out at 10 points in Sweden. I am completely serious.
45 pts in NHL>50 pts in SEL. Now, I'm not stating an opinion here, but Rundblad's achievements last season can't be used to put him ahead of Karlsson.
I'm not saying that he's better right now, I'm saying I think he has better potential. This thread is asking who will be the better player in the future, not who is better right now.

Was Rundblad's 50 points in 55 games a record in the SEL?
Just for comparision, who held the previous record?
Definitely Karlsson. How many defensemen can skate like EK? Plus, he's a proven commodity at this point. Even if he never polishes his defensive game (which he will), he'll be a top 5-10 scorer for defenders for most of his career.
As a Sens fan, I'm excited that both these players are in the system. Its going to allow the team to play a very exciting brand of hockey.
Rundblad can.
It's their explosiveness off the mark that is in different leagues. Not easy to find players that are in Karlsson's class as far as first couple steps go. It's a big part of what makes Karlsson's potential as high as it is, he's hard to catch, and he can catch you.
