The rumor of the day is that Future Savior Erik Karlsson is about to get sent somewhere, either back to the Sweden so that this year doesn't count against his three year rookie contract, or to Bingo.Either way, the move would be good in the long run for the Senators.

Stepping down from the NHL would let him learn his skills, let him come back to the big league with more experience and confidence.
See, Karlsson is about the future. Let's be honest here -- is this group going to bring us the Stanley Cup? No? Then let's be smart about how we grow our talent.
