Fun fact: In 2008 we had the chance to draft Erik Karlsson but we drafted Zach Boychuk the pick before Karlsson was taken

Swing and a miss.
Ya we could have. And so what? Given previous ownership he wouldn’t be here now anyway because we never would have paid what he was worth. Would have been let go as a free agent or traded for picks and or prospects.
Yeah but how many of us have been followed on Twitter by Karlsson?
Zach Boychuk, Eisbären Berlin legend. Not kidding tho, he’s been pretty good here in Germany.

Perfectly represents the front office during that time lol
If we did take him, we’d all be talking about how it sucked when he left
