I would hope BM passes on trying to get Karlsson at all costs. Karlsson isn't the same. He's either playing hurt or he might already be in decline due to that ankle of his.

Even if he was in top form, we don't need to sell our future for him. D is our strongest area. We may not have someone as big of a standout as Karlsson, but, collectively, we have a strong D corp. Our biggest concern should be replacing Getzlaf and Perry in this team. Right now, we have no one who can do that. I know Steel looks promising, but I don't see him being an elite level player like Getzlaf is for us and we still need someone to replace Perry's scoring ability. We have no one in our system who can do that.
