Going to have to pass on that one. You know if the Penguins committed to trading Crosby I would do it with ad ons. Use Nurse to hit the cap.The deal is one for one!
the teams that would want him are teams competing for the Cup.I don't agree with that. Every team would want EK as their top defensemen for $5M a year for the next 3 years.
I mean not true he was very good wihen he was with the Sens he just needs the right kind of partner, he needs a steady stay at home D to cover for him who smart.If Erik Karlsson is your top Defenseman then you are not competing for the Stanley Cup.
I mean he just scored 100 points last year as a DMAN has won 3 norris trophies I don't think he suckskarlsson sucks balls

The type of teams that would be interested in Karlsson at 50% are also the type of teams that would have to send salary back to fit him in, even at 50%.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dubas did it 1 for 1. Guy is an absolute idiot.How many Picks / prospects are being added?
Karlsson was actually decent for the Pens this year. Their PP was abysmal which affected his point production. He can be tough to play with, so combine that with his salary, and it's tricky to find a spot for him. Florida lost both Montour and OEL, so maybe they'd be interested, especially if they actually do want to move off the Ekblad contract still.
Yeah he's still a good player but most playoff teams/contenders are up against the capYeah reading this thread is insane. He finished with 56 points in 82 games while playing over 24 minutes a night. How is that an issue at all? Especially in the OP which is being proposed for Karlsson at $5 million.
Either way, the Penguins aren't going to eat that kind of money for 3 years on Karlsson's deal. They'll trade him with a year or so left with heavy retention and likely get a strong return for him then. Karlsson isn't a $10 million player anymore, but he's absolutely like a $7.5 million player and him at $5 million is a discount.
Not every team. Maybe every team would want him as a quarterback on the power play?I don't agree with that. Every team would want EK as their top defensemen for $5M a year for the next 3 years.
