The Sharks spent up to the NHL salary-cap ceiling this season, so doling out cash shouldn’t be a problem. Unrestricted free agency, in particular important Sharks players who are scheduled to be UFAs, will define whether the Sharks’ offseason is a success. He was relatively healthy this season, playing 73 games (and getting 16 goals and 35 assists) after playing just 47 in 2017-18. He put up 64 points in 75 games this season, his fewest points in a full NHL season since 2011-12. One year after he had 62 points in 71 games for the Senators, Karlsson had 45 points in 53 games.
