Over the years, the Senators have had many great players play for them in Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza, Marian Hossa, Alexei Yashin, Dany Heatley and a handful of others. But only one of them could legitimately be considered the best player at his position and one of the best in the game: Erik Karlsson. Depending on your thoughts on the Calder Trophy, Karlsson is the only player to have ever won a major individual trophy, twice winning the Norris Trophy.
In addition to the Norris Trophies, Karlsson has been named on the season ending first all-star team three times in the last five years.
