Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
A late first-round pick in 2015, Carlsson has yet to earn a regular shift on a crowded Columbus blue line. The 23-year-old has the size and reach to be a fearsome asset in his own end some day, but he doesn't play an overly physical game and doesn't contribute much offensively. He'll need to stand out from a crowd fighting for bottom-pairing jobs in camp that includes Dean Kukan, Scott Harrington and Andrew Peeke (among others) to avoid one more season honing his skills in the AHL.
The 29th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Carlsson continues to gradually work his way up the Blue Jackets' depth chart on the blue line rung by rung. Still only 21 years old, he has the size and wingspan to eventually be a shutdown defender once his development is complete, and while he doesn't have the instincts on offense to put up big point totals, he does possess the vision and passing skills to effectively clear his own zone and get a rush started. The departure of Jack Johnson opens up a slot on a regular pairing with the big club, but Carlsson will likely need to take a big step forward in training camp to seize it.
