He's not producing anywhere near his cap hit, so no one is going to pick him up. Really fallen off over the last few seasons.

I dunno, I could see a team like Detroit or LA with tons of cap space and openings on the left defence taking a chance on him. His salary also drops to $3.25mil for each of the last 2 seasons so that's something.

Maybe, but I don't think either of those teams do Philly a solid without getting something to sweeten the deal.
 
He seems like he's a 35-40 point defenseman with significant defensive liability issues.

He's on 37 point pace this year.  Two years ago he put up the same points and 4 years ago did 39 points.  Last year was a down year production-wise and his 3rd season seems like an aberration when he put up 50 assists.

I do wonder if a team might take a chance that he's fixable but

1. This quote/exchange is truly amazing.

2. It'll be sad if Karlsson isn't remembered more for the defenceman he was with the sens.

I will still argue that Cooke knew exactly what he was doing when he stepped on Karlsson.

If by amazing, you mean typical of his off-putting prima donna red carpet act, then yep, definitely amazing. Ugh, I could never root for a team with Karlsson on it.

If the score holds, the habs will be 6pts behind with 5 games in hand on the Oil. I think they may work their way ahead of the Oil by season's end. Could be tough because they have a lot of games to play.

Leafy examples:
The dev team Expanded on Kapanen's speed to make him a PK asset and scoring threat and Ignored his playmaking deficiencies by keeping him somewhat low in the lineup.

The dev team Addressed Gauthier's (and many others') skating deficiency as it is used constantly in game situations, and Ignored his lack of offensive creativity (it was really fun when he scored though, and it was always top cheddar snipe or banked off the backside).

The NHL deemed this (a) fine. It cost McDavid $5k, or 0.036% of this season's salary, or approximately $11 from someone who made $32k per year.
 
meh, I think I'm fine with that fine. The hit itself (though late) wasn't that violent. The follow-through with the elbow wasn't good, obviously.
