Erik Karlsson excited to have mentor Alfie back

Someday in the distant future, Erik Karlsson admits he could see himself following in the footsteps of great players who have gone on to have their very own office with a hockey team.

As president? GM? Coach?

"I don't know, owner would be nice. Rule it all," the Senators 25-year old, two-time Norris Trophy winner joked in the corner of a Canadian Tire Centre room used Friday to introduce Daniel Alfredsson as the team's senior advisor of hockey operations.

On a more serious note, Karlsson totally understands why his long-time pal and fellow Swede would take the job.
