I like this for the Habs, good haul for giving up basically nothing.
Underwhelming return for the Sharks, but they didn't have a ton of leverage, so it is what it is.
I get that the Pens kind of have to go for it, but this could definitely backfire if Karlsson doesn't work out/gets hurt/simply isn't enough to get them back to the playoffs. They already had basically the worst prospect pool and future outlook before the trade and then gave up even more draft capital. I guess they did well in shedding some boat anchor contracts, but I still don't see how this makes them an instant contender.
