“[Erik Karlsson] is everything to that team. He drives their offense, their transition, their specialty teams - you name it. He’s that important.” - Mike Johnson, NHL Network
Karlsson is that important because he’s that good - and everyone knows it, including Alain Vigneault.
AV on #Sens Erik Karlsson: "He's in a league of his own with what he can do with the puck, plays he can make & the way he can see the ice."

Karlsson presents a much different problem to the Rangers than Shea Weber did in the first round.
