SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The shock hasn't subsided for Erik Karlsson.
Being forced to relocate across a continent from a city that he loved, the only place outside of Sweden he ever called home. Swapping the red and black of the Ottawa Senators, the only NHL uniform he has worn, for the singular teal of the San Jose Sharks' sweaters. Moving into a beautiful house in the Glebe, a picturesque Ottawa neighborhood filled with shops and pubs, only to find out it's actually a summer home now.
"We just bought it, recently," Karlsson told ESPN last week, wincing his face like he just stubbed his toe.
