we should consider converting erik to a winger. Nhl forwards are just too overpowering for his overall physique and style of play.
wtf is this?

So you're using goals base stast for his level of play on the sens, but corsi based stats for his QOC and QOT? That seems a little dubious don't you think?
Here's a prediction:
Karlsson's play will round out over the next month or so, in conjunction with playing more at home and playing a more balanced schedule in terms of competition. This will occur also with the team rounding out its game as it gets to breathe while beating teams it should beat. This will also get us into a rhythm where we can actually play with some of the elites and take some games (but unlikely a majority).
Karlsson started out the season with a compromised foot. Spezza started off with an adductor strain. We also started off on the West on a road trip we struggle with even when the team is dominant. Last night we played in Chicago, a rink where even when we were an elite team and Chicago was ass bad, we still lost every year.
Anderson's also coming down to earth, he isn't the best goalie in the league. He might squeak into the top 10.
(regarding EK stats).Source: behindthenet.ca, based on full season.
Um, not true. Not even close. Teh team is statistically better when he's NOT on the ice, both production and goals allowed.
(From Cujomi
Karlsson on the ice:
- He produces 2.58g per game
- He allows 3.05g per game
Karlsson not on the ice:
- The team produces 3.17g per game
- The team allows 2.58g per game
(regarding EK stats).
Well I'd hate to see what phillips' stats are, or compare EK's to any other sens D for that matter. BTW twelve games hardly consitutes a season.

OEL > Karlsson
do we really need fancy numbers to tell us what has been plainly obvious thus far?
i don't think Karlsson is sacrificing his defense to put up more points, which means he'll continue to put up points, it's just him and the defense have been bad
Burns managed. He even prospered.
I don't think a single soul has ever suggested trading Karlsson before and after his injury, and that holds true in this thread.So, i take it this thread has turned into a trade karlsson thread.

We are going to see an even better EK starting next game, now that the ugly schedule is over!
He's not playing too much.
Cutting his ice-time would probably help.
