What To Expect As An Encore From Erik Karlsson?

Erik Karlsson dominated the NHL this season. How does he follow it up next year? I start by examining Karlsson’s record-setting season with the San Jose Sharks. Next, I analyze the 11 seasons since the lockout where a defenseman averaged a point per game for the season and how their following season panned out (9:00). Finally, what did seasons from Brent Burns, Roman Josi, Victor Hedman, John Carlsson, and Nicklas Lidström teach us about what to expect from Karlsson in the 2023-24 season and why the Sharks should expect Karlsson to continue to be around a point per game next year (18:00).
