I'd trade for Trouba before I trade for Karlsson

I wouldn’t go that far.

Not evening joking.

A mediocre defensively at best Karlsson is not what this team needs. They need a meaner Zub that can actually stay healthy.

Karlsson is mediocre defensively but will give offense.

Trouba is mediocre defensively as well

Not to mention an average 2nd pairing guy. We need someone to help us score.

Nope, bad idea imho.

If you’ve watched Karlsson lately, he’s not even trying to defend. Players blow right by him, he makes a feeble waive of his stick as they go by, and they score goals.

It's not what we need imho. Nostalgia is strong though.

And as much as I love Erik, that's absolutely not what we need in the room.

Just get a purely defensive RD that can fill in on the second pair. Doing worry about points. Just someone who won't let guys sit int he paint and makes life hard for opposition forwards.

And we also need to prepare for the possibility that Yak may be spending next season in the AHL.

To be fair, I'm sure Karlsson would be a hell of a lot more motivated playing for his home team where he had all his success in his career with his mentor as his assistant coach vs playing for a terrible Pittsburgh team.

That being said, I don't think it's a good idea to trade for Karlsson. Maybe if we get him for dirt cheap and Pittsburgh retains.

Everybody has to admit that trading for Karlsson would be fun from a pure chaos POV.
