You double quoted me so somebody is high ... Karlsson will probably never play another 80 game season being plagued by injuries and operations... He was already an injury concern which is why I soured on him... I think Hoffman had like 30 goals, Sharks had Braun, DeMelo, Heed, Burns on right side of Defense... Dillon was their best D-man on left side w/ + rating in the 20's, 1 SHG, with like 20ish points... Vlasic making 7M flopped badly from his prior season... Then they had like Simek/NOah wondering why they lost w/ such a craptastic left shot sided Defense ... If Sharks had traded for Hoffman then picked up like a Jake Muzzin they would have been hoisting a cup... Timo faded, Kane faded, he wasn't even a problem getting suspended or doing something stupid in Blues series just invisible ...

This is also a player who has had great underlying advanced metrics. With more ice-time, his numbers are just gonna go up, barring injuries.
