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

Doobie Doobie Dubas getting his f*** on, that's the f*** he's doing, Doot Doot Doot.

Ecstatic about this deal. The next miracle is dumping Carter and building a competent 3rd line. Im probably most excited for Dubas seemingly aligned with Sullivan's speed approach.

Could Kane come in and play a Kessel type role to drive offense on a 3rd line? Maybe a Tatar who could live on that 3rd line and slide up when needed.

I figured Hextall would be bye bye.

But if you told me we'd have Erik Karlsson...psh...I would have balked at that hard.

Dubas is weird just because he seemed like a fixture in Toronto until he wasn't.

And then, imagine suggesting we trade for a $11.5 million player as a roster solution.

What a huge off-season. Yet another mini-era awaits us.

Had no clue we were even interested in him until I heard it on XM early on July 1st. I just hope this puts some trust in Dubas. The guy sees the same issues we all do.

I've always called him Tommy Tater and I always will

It's going to be an emotional evening when Granlund plays in his first game back in Pittsburgh. That's going to be one special tribute video on the scoreboard.

I will never forget you.

Thing is Dubas had to answer to Shanny, Dubas here has to answer to Dubas.

Holy shit, Dubas trynna have an all time offseason

Maybe it would kick Rust to 3rd line and he can start getting better defensively like he used to be before he found out he can get points.

Are they getting a forward like Tartar tonight or not?

Midnight, since it'll be 87's birthday gift.

It's logical to try and bolster our top six because Guentzel being out leaves a pretty big void there.

I'm not sure about tonight but hopefully he addresses the matter in short order.

 

[LOGiK]

That's what you get for doing something more interesting than F5'ing.

I do quicksave a lot

No i think he will come back for the 3rd year and retire with Geno. I think both will leave together.


is that really a good game?

the best!

I'm sure we can make do but when Jake gets back I want Rust on L3, he used to be good on the D side before he started scoring and gave up playing 2 way. Make him play better D again. Tatar with Malkin and Smith.

I just want us to add another quality piece upfront. If it pushes Rust down when Jake comes back then that immediately improves the 3rd line.

 

[Peat]

Damn, Kyle.

Appropriate I drank the same beer today as I did after the Crosby lottery. Yuengling cans. Both times in Fayette county. Only difference this time? My grandmother is dead.

What would our 3rd line look like?

Sorry about your loss.

 

[Jobeycool]

I went and seen Jones part 5 so I got lucky even seeing the Karlsson trade go down...

 

[tom_servo]

Sorry about your loss.

Yeah I posted for comic effect but she actually was the first person I contacted to talk about Crosby. She recorded all the Pens playoff wins starting in '89 on VHS and later actively transferred to DVD. She died in '10, after one more Stanley Cup and Super Bowl.

Edit: just wanted to add, she was also a big deal message board poster. Her (Steelers) forum literally poured one out.

Hextall's game plan: ??

Dubas' game plan: Tear the other teams asshole inside out, shove a f***ing pipe bomb up it and hate f*** the remains.
