“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
Karlsson will be 29 next year. IF Karlsson is healthy, he probably has ~5 years of his prime left.
However, if there are questions about Karlsson's health ... that would change the equation. Karlsson either needs to take a discount OR agree to a shorter contract. If not, I'm going in another direction. The Hawks can't afford another non performing expensive contract.
Yes, this of course all hinges on his health. Totally agree with you.
