At the 2008 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators were eager to find a franchise player to build around. With the 15th overall pick, the Senators selected defenseman Erik Karlsson.
By 2012, every hockey fan knew Karlsson's name with him being the youngest player to win the Norris Trophy at 22 years old. After the 2017-18 season, Karlsson was traded by the Senators to the San Jose Sharks. Today, Karlsson is a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Karlsson was one of the best players in the NHL during the 2010s. However, even with being a top player for many years, Karlsson's game was recently disrespected.
