Confirmed with Link: Penguins acquire Erik Karlsson for Granlund, 1st rounder in 2024, Rutta, Petry, DeSmith (more in first post)

[The Great Mighty Poo]

is it safe to say the d-core now has the best flowing locks in the NHL? Letang, EK, and Graves all have glorious hair.

 

[Darren McCord]

Yeah, I mean it's hard to expect too much in a trade where Karlsson is the big fish but as you point out, he provides what Granlund did at 20% the cost so it's hard to complain.

We have a nice little group of "breakout hopefuls" in Pitlick, Johnsson, Hinostranza, DOC.

I would through Nylander and Puustinen in there.

This trade cleared up the right wing depth. Should be a good camp battle

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Favorite trade since Kessel

Powerplay is fixed

Build the Dubas statue

Funny that you mentioned Kessel.

As this trade is very similar. Toronto had really few options so took low value. Same here. The market was one team.

I like the potential of filling a few remaining gaps with cheap UFAs who never got deals in July. Same thing I’m hoping the Leafs do, but I wonder which ones could make sense for us. Josh Bailey? I realize he was an Islander (yuck), but as a cheap depth guy, I’d take a flyer for sure. Any good D options left?

No team in the league can beat our handsomeness/60

Geno and Sid gotta grow it out

They started to already.
Hinostroza
Johnsson

Both are previous 15 goal guys


Dont want Bailey. They need speed

 

[Extra Texture]

I'm here to f*** your shit up.

The Pens should make this into billboards all around town. I cant f***ing wait for the season to start.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Niiiiiiice!

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I wanna make sweet passionate love to this trade on the shore of the Outer Banks.

 

[Freeptop]

I guess POJ - Smith becomes the 3rd pair.

For like, 5 minutes of TOI per game

I wouldn't be surprised if we see those two get frequent shifts with Letang or Karlsson as well.

 

[Come on]

Ohhhhh, you're a novelty account. Alrighty.

Sorry but, I'm not. That is ridiculous on many levels. I'm glad you got your extravagant eye candy though.

Chad R drags it down tremendously

 

[Empoleon8771]

Chad R drags it down tremendously

He's going to be playing 3 minutes a game

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sid, Geno, Rakell/Jake, Letang, Karlsson on PP1

Rakell/Jake, Rust, Smith, Carter, Smith/POJ on PP2

Sorry but, I'm not. That is ridiculous on many levels. I'm glad you got your extravagant eye candy though.

SAD!!!!

And if you're not a novelty account, and being accused of being one, a bit of self-reflection may be in order.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Also now the Penguins are "hurting their rebuild" evidently. Because that's why Geno/Letang took a combined 4-5M dollar break to come back... to start dat rebuild. I know it's HF but what a loser's mentality. And additionally I'm sure all these opposing fans are actually super concerned about the Penguins rebuild.

You just hate him cause he’s bald and you’re scared you will be too one day Andrew.

Petts is a way worse looking dude than Ruh

 

[domaug]

Sorry but, I'm not. That is ridiculous on many levels. I'm glad you got your extravagant eye candy though.

Thanks. As we all know, Erik Karlsson is literally the only hockey player who's ever been injured for an extended period of time.

2023/2024 Pittsburgh Penguins: "A Great Day for Mullets!"

 

[Come on]

Your word candy doesn't make it better. You're the one that has been crying the team is going no where but, you love 4 years at 11.5. Maybe a bit of self reflection on your babble may help.

Yeah we gave up that first so we might miss out on the next Beau Bennet or Sam Poulin.

 

[DrDangles]

Give Dubas the key to the city, all of this for basically a 1st and a 2nd lol.

Gonna miss Rutta, but small price to pay for EK65.

 

[Come on]

Thanks. As we all know, Erik Karlsson is literally the only hockey player who's ever been injured for an extended period of time.

And at 11.5 a year. Let that soak in a bit. That pretty much equals Letang and Malkin being out at the same time. Thanks though.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Yeah we gave up that first so we might miss out on the next Beau Bennet or Sam Poulin.

He MIGHT even be the next Kasperi Kapanen!

 

[Andy99]

I want him playing zero…we still have Mark Friedman…way better
