William Karlsson, better known as "Wild Bill," is now a member of the Vegas Golden Knights.
Pour one out for the memories. And for his incredible hair.
The 24-year-old Swede arrived in Columbus in March 2015, part of a trade that saw defenseman James Wisniewski dealt to the Anaheim Ducks. Karlsson, who had been up and down between the NHL and AHL, found a home with the Blue Jackets over the last two-plus seasons.
As he departs for Vegas, we compiled some of Karlsson's top moments as a member of the Blue Jackets:
We'll start with his first career Stanley Cup playoff goal, scored in Game 4 against the Penguins back in April.
Late in the 2015-16 season, Karlsson supplied all the Columbus offense in a 2-1 road win over Calgary.
We had to include this one: Karlsson's infamous carpool with best buddy Alexander Wennberg:
How about this goal against Pittsburgh last December? Karlsson knew he scored, but the goal didn't officially count until the referees reviewed the tape a few minutes later. Bizarre goal, but it was the game-winner in a 7-1 blowout.
And finally, we leave you with a cool Wild Bill moment from the World Cup of Hockey pre-tournament game in Columbus: Karlsson and Wennberg surprised Blue Jackets fans on the Pedal Wagon and joined them for a ride to the arena.
