Keeping Karlsson no. 153 – Early ProjecSchenns with Steve Laidlaw
Elan Dubrofsky
2017-08-21
On the final episode of the Keeping Karlsson Hockey Podcast's 2017 offseason series– pre-season series begins next episode!– Elan and Brian are joined by Steve Laidlaw, who lets us in on how the Dobber Fantasy Guide sausage is made. He also shares his thoughts on some of the projections found within this year's guide, including a new Blue projected for a career high, a King looking to bounce back, an elite goalie due for an off year, and a Wild centreman due for a stock drop.
On their own, Elan and Brian take a quick tour of all the news that happened over the last month, such as a pair of signings in Edmonton, depth(?) defencemen added in Ottawa and Montreal, and a key injury to the New Jersey top six.
And, stay tuned for the end of the episode, where the guys share some of the new patron perks that will be available for this season of Keeping Karlsson.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
