He shattered records by being the first defenseman to exceed 100 points in an extended period, thereby stirring broad interest across the league. The three front runners keen on acquiring Karlsson's talent have been disclosed.

Jaccob Slavin.
Karlsson's move to Carolina would grant him the liberty to flex his offensive prowess, backed by Slavin's defensive proficiency.
Overcoming Challenges for Karlsson's Acquisition
Each potential location presents a lot of intriguing possibilities for Karlsson, but those possibilities don't come without their fair share of obstacles.
Regardless of these obstacles, whichever team manages to welcome Karlsson on board will undoubtedly reap the benefits of his stellar performance and prodigious production.
