YepThe Penguins are 2nd in the NHL in goals against this year and Karlsson is on pace for 62 points and a +17. Calling him a "liability" is just dumb.
or Boston.Or montreal
just not Pittsburg where the bar is too low.

Till the end of this season. They’ll hire Sheldon Keefe for next year.Roster aside, how long does this team plan on keeping Sullivan as head coach?
well its not like he went off a cliff like Ovechkin or CarterI mean when he's not a point per game and still a liability defensively, that's not exactly what I'd call living up to an 8 figure AAV
let me guess Guentzal was the " Penguin"Last night, 6 on 5, Malkin stood at the blue line for 15 seconds with 30 seconds left in the game. He finally passed the puck 10 feet up the boards to a Penguin who promptly passed it back to Malkin.
Most of heir players were not contending for even the 3 years.They are tired from 15 straight years of being a cup contender.
I don't know what some of you want?
I look at their bottom #9 and I wonder how their record is good as it is.
You have a geriatric Jeff Carter playing over 40 games, Noel Accairi isn't too far behind. Didn't realize Matt Nieto was still in the league.
You have Radim Zohorna and Jansen Harkins whom I am sure are a couple of made up players playing a 65 games between them.
Heck, they willingly signed Poolparty, that is how poor their depth is.
The reason they haven't fired Sullivan yet is that Dubas doesn't want the blame squarely on him because he knows Scotty Bowman in his prime couldn't make this turd roster a playoff contender.

How about Nick Suzuki over Cody Glass?I'm actually surprised Reilly Smith is doing as well as he has for the Pen's this year.
He was by far the worst player on Vegas against the Oilers last year.
Don't trade with Vegas is my recommendation. They're very good at insulating and identifying dead weight after it has served its purpose.
I wouldn't touch anyone Vegas is offering with a 10 foot pole because how they play for you will not be the same as how they play for Vegas.
Those two are also what.. 5ish years older? Not really a fair comparisonwell its not like he went off a cliff like Ovechkin or Carter
I dont think you know what penultimate means.1. Trade Crosby to Colorado. He deserves to be playing in the playoffs with the effort he is still showing. Acquire Ritchie + Byram + whatever else in return + RyJo cap dump.
2. Sell everyone else with value and rebuild for two years, with the intent of bottoming out next year and picking up Misa or Hagens.
3. Sign Crosby out of free agency for 2-3 years, immediately slap the C back on his chest, and let the penultimate leader show the youth movement how it’s done while playing out his career on a team with actual potential and talent to support him.
It’s painfully obviously the right move for the Pens and the only external variable is the Avs, who surely would leap on the chance to have a still-elite Crosby maximize this window.

That poster was me.True......and Karlsson isnt all washed up. Poster was implying otherwise.
yea, he's really a fourth forward who gets his ass back in a hurray.That poster was me.
I'm not implying he's washed up. I'm saying he's never not been a defensive liability
for sure. He cleaned up Hextall and Burkes mess. But then gave Graves a ridiculous contract. Over paid Jarry.Are the people mad at Carlsson aware that Dubas dumped some horrible contracts in the Carlsson trade? If Carlsson is not here the Pens have other very poor contracts instead!
Sid to Boston.Their stars are still really good. It would be a fun team to watch sell them off for a rebuild. I’d love to see where Crosby, Mallon, Letang could go
Crosby to Avs. I’ll root for Avs to win cup until Crosby retires.Sid to Boston.
Malkin to Florida
Letang to Detroit
