I’d like to see them through November with EK, but overall, no.

I'm not even sure Karlsson makes them any better. They weren't short an elite offensive d-man at any time.

i kinda agree burns and karlsson kinda 2 of the same type of players. but still 2 elite offensive dmen. i think theyre best in their division. but not ss good as preds and jets.

I would take that Sharks bet for sure on regular season points. And I agree their SC odds should be better.
EK and Burns might have similar skill sets, but I doubt they play together a ton, besides some PP. Basically the Sharks will have an elite offensive defenseman on the ice for almost all ES and PP, which will definitely help them score more goals.

Plus sharks possession numbers spike with the addition of EK...more shots generated and suppressed (for gadi)

I don't think having Karlsson will help their shot suppression. Didn't he have like the worst advanced stats in Ottawa? They got rocked whenever he was on the ice.

I would think that was more a factor of ottawa being so bad, and EK playing far and away the most mins on that D...he doesnt make that team worse...lol...he was surrounded by shitty players.
I do agree he is overrated without the puck and is weak defensively...but on that sharks team, he will thrive.
