The Pens only have 1 retention slot left. So say you are getting Karlsson at $7M. And Malkin at $6.1M. And they're ok with that with their NMCs. It still fits, if the RyJo termination is upheld though. Malkin is good, Karlsson I think would be a terrible fit with Josi already here, and would actually make our team worse. Maybe take this fantasy to just pursuing Malkin? He won't want to leave Pittsburgh obviously, but he's the player the Preds would at least benefit from.
If he clears waivers he's probably going to Milwaukee at some point. Some team should claim him, however.

Should lock this one up, Crosby/Malkin/Letang won't wear another jersey if ownership wants to keep fans in seats
I dont think the solution is getting the team even older even if this theoretically would make the team better in the short run

Losing games won't keep fans in the seats if history is to be believed. Faster they can rebuild the better.

The Penguins cannot make this trade because they do not have 2 retention slots available. Not commenting on the value beyond saying it seems like it's too much from Nashville, but the Penguins cannot make this trade.
If the Predators would be interested, I'd absolutely be willing to talk about Karlsson at $6-$7 million and what Nashville would give up for him.

From what I've heard (and what little I've seen), Karlsson has been a shell of his former self and is not worth pursuing.
Essentially, this is throwing away any hope of competitiveness now or possibly even for the next decade (since we give away most of our prospects to make it happen, therefore wasting all that time rather than having it as prospect growth time). Thanks but no thanks.

Beyond the retention slots, I’m not sure if Pittsburgh can pickup 3 net contracts.
EK65 is having a tough go now, but a) he didn’t have a preseason and b) Pittsburgh has 1 suitable partner for EK65 and Letang. I expect him to regress to his normal excellent Offensive d-man play.

I think you'd have to put the 1st on the other side of the equation for the Preds to be willing to take on Karlsson, even with retention.

I’m only saying that because I know that Penguins pick is the one that’s winning 1st overall
So fair enough , and congrats
