Rumor: Karlsson, Pitlick, Hamaliuk, SJS 2026 3rd to Pens | Pens 2024 1st, Granlund, Rutta & Hoffman to SJS | Petry, DeSmith, Legare, & Pens 2025 2nd to Habs

[Dr Quincy]

Wonder what happen with Petry now.

I can't imagine he ever suits up for MTL.

 

[AirGut]

my honest reaction:

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Lol wow SJS got destroyed.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Lol @ Jarry making 15 on the cap.

Obviously meant Karlsson + Jarry = over 15 of the cap. That is a lot of space for a guy who hasnt been able to stay healthy for a long time and a goalie who does his best Bernier impression when games matter.

 

[Jovavic]

Finally, at long last. Something good happened for the Pittsburgh Penguins!

A down on their luck franchise FINALLY has good news, congrats to the life long fans

 

[Reality Czech]

I was right about the return. I told SJ fans they weren't getting a haul. Nice to be vindicated a day after making that argument lol

You and at least half of hockey fans out there. Don't expect that much credit, bud.

 

[Extra Texture]

How many years does Karlsson have left on his deal?

Four. Matches pretty much ideally with the remaining Pens window.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Classic HF to merge thread even tho it clearly deserve his own. Wtv.

Good deal for MTL. We get a 2nd pick for Hoffman, thats crazy.

I guess Petry will be shipped somewhere

I'm surprised their terrible servers didn't crash

 

[Darren McCord]

I disagree.

Take a look at what Pittsburgh actually gave up to get him. Pittsburgh gave up a 1st, 2nd, prospect and 4 roster players for Karlsson. They just needed to give some of those assets to another team to make the $ work. Karlsson still clearly had value though.

The prospect is equal to the prospect San Jose gave up. It was just a wash. Legare has been a huge dissapointment

 

[Laveuglette]

I think this is a mistake from Pitts. They just missed the playoffs and the core is not getting any younger. As a free agent or playoff mercenary I could understand, but they could miss the playoffs even with Karlsson next year. Why do they ruin their future rebuild?

 

[GhostfaceWu]

10 plus 5 is what exactly?

Lol @ Jarry making 15 on the cap.

 

[stevo61]

Good move for Pittsburgh. Getting out from major contracts and landing Karlsson. They obviously have to go all in for the Crosby/Malkin/Letang core so this achieves that. When it comes to an end it will be ugly for them but might be fun for the fans until that day actually comes

 

[Darren McCord]

They got the whole team younger and gave up barely anything.

Because they can't rebuild as long as Crosby and Malkin are on the team.

Read how it was worded, duh.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

It is rare that we get a full 3 team trade these days and even rarer one like this. I think this is a bad trade all already.
SJ a team that needs to rebuild got a bunch of older players for Karlsson.
Pittsburgh traded a bunch of depth for Karlsson who is very talented offensively but a trainwreck is his own zone. With Pittsburgh's average at best goaltending and already meh defense this isn't going to help.
Montreal as usual traded an overpriced older player for an even pricier older player and meh backup goalie.

Losers all around on this one.

What are you talking about?

The players are for cap reasons and SJ can also flip them at the deadline. The real return was the 1st.

 

[MessierII]

As long as sid geno and letang are on the team they are going for it.

Hey when I'm right I'm gonna point it out because it doesn't happen often

 

[Bond]

Absolute trash return for San Jose…. My god

Pretty good compared to other trades this offseason

 

[Muffin]

They could’ve gotten a haul if they retained salary. Guess they didn’t want to.

 

[Zbynek]

I think this is a mistake from Pitts. They just missed the playoffs and the core is not getting any younger. As a free agent or playoff mercenary I could understand, but they could miss the playoffs even with Karlsson next year. Why do they ruin their future rebuild?

Short answer, because Geno and Sid are still scoring above ppg clip. Neither missed a game last year. This is their motivation piece to go balls out for their last few years together.

 

[Ezekial]

Man San Jose couldn't even get the top 10 protected waived on that first rounder eh?

Teams don't really trade unprotected 1st round picks anymore because barely missing the playoffs can lead to a top 5 pick.

Montreal gets a second for taking Petry's contract instead of Hoffman's. Basically, a 2nd for the extra year on Petry's deal.

Pitlick is meh and could have gotten lost on waivers.

They just moved out a few cap dumps and moved a 1st and 2nd for the best offensive defenceman in the entire league. What do you mean?

Their stars are at the age now where they'll start declining. It's time to go all in for them. There is no rebuild or hanging in the towel yet.
