When people think of Ottawa Senators legends, Erik Karlsson is one of the first names that comes to mind. Karlsson won the Norris Trophy two times and recorded 518 points in his nine seasons as a Senator.
Prior to the 2018-19 season, the gut punch happened for Sens fans when the Senators traded Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks. Karlsson had success in San Jose before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2023.
Karlsson's impact in Pittsburgh has been rough with the Penguins missing the playoffs in both years he's been with the team.
