So glad I’m seeing fewer “hE’s BaSiCaLlY a FoRwArD” takes. Dude is elite offensively and good defensively. He’s been the Caps’ MVP besides Lindgren.
John Carlson is 34, leads the NHL an average TOI, has 21 points in his last 26 games (including GWGs in the last two must-wins) and turned in one of the team's best performances of the season last night with Sandin/Jensen out. Has been the team's most important skater for years. pic.twitter.com/UUzROF0B6O

Oh, and the contract was a bargain.
Dude has a CLAPPERRRRR too.
yea i’m a huge Carlson fan. we are blessed with his presence.
You gonna mention this came from Japers?
He drives me crazy a lot, but he’s very valuable to the team. I think last year alone proved it.
Hate how much he gets shit on. Guy is a fucking dog, IMO most important skater on our team. When he went down last year we fell apart.
He’s a good guy too!
He was an absolute animal last night at both ends
Love Johnny!
Carlson > Letang
The guy has looked phenomenal over the last few months, at both ends of the ice. I think having Marty paired with him kind of feels like he’s found another Kempny.
I wouldn’t call him good defensively. He’s had a couple mediocre seasons, but has mostly been subpar defensively in his career. But none of that is a surprise. We knew this well before we signed him to this contract. We pay him for offense.
Glad 95% of the sub is a GM, we would have no team left each season. Carly is always at fault, the gdts are hilarious with the amount of hate for him. “We couldn’t move that contract!” around the trade deadline. Love you silly idiots 🙂
