Here we go again!

Dude is putting up insane numbers on a patently awful Sharks team. Only a matter of time before he gets moved, though this time around he carries a very unpalatable contract. Even with retention that one is gonna sting.

My guess? Somehow the Florida Panthers snag him.

Not the first guy to have a weird mid-career swoon and won't be the last. What exactly happened to him? I assumed the Cooke ankle injury gradually sapped him of his wheels, but he's just kinda figured out how to make it work?

I think he just had to adjust to playing without the same speed he used to enjoy.

Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that he's absolutely killing it after Burns was traded away. The Wookiee was actually quite terrible last year, doesn't look like he's doing a ton better in Carolina.

Speaking of Burns, it would be very funny if Karlsson found success after Burns left, only to be reunited with him in Carolina. Get on it, Grier!
