Ever since Erik Karlsson broke into the NHL in the 2009-10 season, he has been a force on the blueline for the Ottawa Senators. Erik Karlsson is a legitimate superstar and would more than help any team he joins, that is, if he decides to leave the Ottawa Senators.
It is safe to say that the Ottawa Senators have had a pretty disappointing year. In May of 2017, the Senators were one goal away from playing in the Stanley Cup Finals (Ranger fans remember this; and please don’t remind me of Pageau)! After the Senators lost in overtime of game seven at the hands of the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins, they were high on confidence heading into the 2017-2018 season.
