I doubt Karlsson will be as good as he was last year but I definitely expect him to have a big year with the Penguins this year.



Sharks media guys are dunking on the Pittsburgh media guys for their "strained relationship" comment regarding Burns and Karlsson.

That Peng dude claimed on Madden's show that 2 of Pickering, Poulin, POJ, Smith or Yager had to be involved in the trade or the deals off, he seems like the San Jose Rossi, an HF poster or a complete f***ing mark.
 
I guess at least we didn't get like "Hey Erik cool tunnel huh? Hurhur... anyway can you talk about what an amazing coach Mike Sullivan is and how honored you will be to play for him?"
 
Not like Karlsson is going to say, "Yeah, I hate Brent Burns."

I think it's worth asking why it didn't work with the two of them, but very few players are going to be honest about whether they got along with someone or not.
 
Petts-Karlsson
Graves-Letang

2 Swedish boys and 2 Canadian boys.

I kinda think I want to break that up. I think Karlsson needs Graves being large more than Letang. Or maybe we're going to see Letang take on a lot of the hard minutes...

Trade POJ for Jack Johnson so we can have an American 3rd pair with Ruh

Ban this man.
 
He's got an account here too. Oh wait that's that Kingski guy or w/e his name is.
no, it was Molinari, he is considered one of the better ones..I did not see anything wrong with that question, its actually a legit question, you know you won't get the right answer, but don't you think that Tanger has a little bit of jibbers with all the attention to EK now, I mean its natural, we are all human, especially if EK outplays him at the beginning Tanger may pout or get into one of his silly tantrums...Anyways, I think they will work out they both will play 22-23 minutes which is perfect for thier age, and both should have relatively decent partners...

EK seems legit guy, loved the interview, he carrie a little bit carisma, which team desperately need, did not have since Phil left...lets hope for healthy year and that the old guys saved some juice for latter years

Peng Leaked the trade 1st so he does have some insight. The players moving were off though

I know I'm maybe overexcited but I don't see why he can't be better. Not in 100+ points again but, overall, just have an a bigger impact on hockey games. He's going to be playing with his first non borderline AHL partner in a long time, he's going to be playing with elite forwards for the first time in a long time. We know how much supporting cast matters. Plus his motivation is going to be through the roof.

As long as he stays fit...

Hi Erik, welcome to Pittsburgh. You make $11.5mil on average and last year your salary was indeed $11.5mil. Can you expand a little bit on what you spend your money on? Like specifically, do you buy cars, groceries, do you invest, are you into bitcoin...?
