Trade Karlsson and rebuild honestly if I were them I'd trade em all except Crosby, Malkin, and Letang unless they want to be traded cause they do not want to end their career on a rebuild.
Dubas has done a bad job. The Pens are old and slow and clearly need to rebuild. Those old slow guys Karlsson for example) not only have no move clauses but their contracts aren’t tradable unless adding a lot of high picks. Sadly the Pens are stuck with what they have until those bad contracts run out.Trade Karlsson and rebuild honestly if I were them I'd trade em all except Crosby, Malkin, and Letang unless they want to be traded cause they do not want to end their career on a rebuild.
Karlsson is definitely tradable as he would still have value across the league they would probably have to retain 2-3 million tho.Dubas has done a bad job.

If they keep Sullivan all year, I see no reason to think it will improve.As bad as they’ve been on pace is not something to bring up this early in the season. Kucherov is also on pace for 82 goals while Stamkos is on pace for like 15.

EK is looking really bad. He’s playing very soft. Hes got four more years at 11 million per. Even at 50% retention it’s a stretch to think any club will want him with how he’s playing. He’s coming 35!Karlsson is definitely tradable as he would still have value across the league they would probably have to retain 2-3 million tho.
The fact that the team doesn't have the right players sounds more like a GM problem than a coach issue, especially since the coach had success with this system in the past.Spoken like someone who hasn't watched a Penguins game in years.
The defense this year is identical to the defense from last year, just with Joseph and Ruhwedel swapped out for Grzelcyk and St. Ivany. The defensemen on this team aren't good, but the team is horrendous defensively because of the system Sullivan is running, not because of the defense.
The team simply doesn't have the personnel to run the system Sullivan has been forcing this team to run for the past few years. Good coaches make systems that work with the players that they have, they don't just run the same system and then pout because it's not working due to the players not being good fits for it.

When the team bleeds goals, adding a 11,5 milion dollars offensive d-man is not the solution, it is just adding to problem. And that is not on Sulivan. Not to mention that the Pens already had Letang, EK is redundant.
The ONLY position player under the age of 25 was McGroarty........pretty crazy when a teams 'young' dynamic goal scorer is a 31 year old rickard rakell lol.
