So I say we need to keep him until one of two things happens.
1) Simple, we get another PPQB to replace him.
OR
2) Karlsson shows he can consistently run our powerplay. The 5 Cs that are vitally important to a true powerplay quarterback, crisp pass, canon shot, creativity confidence and consistency. He has always had the first 3, in the 10 games or so leading up to his injury he was starting to gain the confidence. Now he just needs to show he can do it with some consistency.
By the way, I just made up those 5 Cs... But I think I'm gonna start using that.

Hamhuis fits the 5c's perfectly. He might not rack up A LOT of points but it's cause of Weber and Suter taking the majority of the points.
Plus it's not everyday you can find a young defenceman who is a solid defensive defenceman who can chip up offensively.
