Okay pump the brakes a littleAnother 35 goal season as a center and Vegas is kill.
Talking about 10mil+ AAV next summer.

Don't quote username....don't quote usernameSince others decided to bring up Wilson here, who has a Stanley Cup--Karlsson or Wilson?
in 102 gp last year he had 93 pts and 50 goals. finished 6th in selke voting (actually had more 1st place votes than Koivu at 5). I don't think he can replicate this season but he definitely has the skillset and is a tenacious 55-60 2 way player. i think playing with marchessault and smith will keep his floor high with the chemistry they have.
here's his shot/goal heatmap for those interested btw
Btw Wilson never had more than 9 goals in a season prior to this year too.. the only difference is Karlsson just potted 43 and was basically PPG.

When players get paid by the merits of one single playoff appearance, it's never ended up poorly for the team...They had the same amount of points in the playoffs.
A 40 plus goal Centerman...point a game ...on the open market? You wouldn't bet on yourself ? I would! He gonna get paid large!I would have taken any 5+ year deal Vegas offered me if I was him. There's no reason to do this deal. If Vegas offered a 5X5, I would have signed the line. He could have just lost himself 20+ million dollars if he falls back to earth next year. He likely doesn't gain himself much money either.
Smart move by Karlsson, if he has another big year this season, he may cash in as a UFA.
Well i mean until this random year he never had higher then 9 goals.....
Which seems more substainable?Wilson never had higher than 7 before this year where he jumped to 14... Karlsson jumper to 43. A slight difference.

A 7 point jump in goals or a 37 goal jump?
At the beginning of the season teams treated LV as a probable easy win so underestimated. Next year those castoffs will see a lot more pressure from game 1 on.
A good move by McPhee to see how he handles the rougher going.
