Confirmed with Link: Penguins acquire Erik Karlsson for Granlund, 1st rounder in 2024, Rutta, Petry, DeSmith (more in first post)

[Jacob]

Let’s. f***ing. Go.

 

[Dominance]

So no retention on Karlsson, but moving out Granlund + Petry + DeSmith + Rutta???

 

[3ladesof5teel]

What a move by Dubas and Co. You can't not like this as a Pens fan.

Having EK is going to make this team so much better and we were able to shed both Petry and Granlunds cap.

This is the best possible move this off-season we could have make to "go for it"

 

[WickedWrister]

Lets f***ING GOOOOOO!!!!

Yeah basically 1.5 1sts and some middling prospects + Rutta. Who are the other two guys we got?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pissed we moved Rutta. Our defense is toilet paper soft now

 

[xlm34]

Holy shit Dubas well done. The first rounder is really the only thing worth a damn in that trade.

Ruuta is solid but Letang and Karlsson will be playing 50 minutes a night anyway.

 

[Jobeycool]

Good deals for all sides but the Karlsson cap space..

 

[domaug]

hockey is going to be fun again.

LGP!!!

 

[Zbynek]

1.5 mil retention on Karlsson

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

This is like those bad proposals on the trade board that are like "a bunch of our garbage for your best player" only real

 

[deakka]

wtf is the 2 throw ins for? taking up contract slots.
And now we are suddenly WEAK at the right side? Both Pery and ruutta gone?

 

[Lust for Life]

Full details including retention and protections in the first post

Never change man, lol. Always pissy

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean. Hard to be mad about this trade lol. Turned a bunch of junk into EK65.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I am honestly not crazy about Karlsson still coming in at such a high cap hit, especially when the Penguins are retaining money on Petry.

They only paid a 1st so it's a hell of a deal, but I wanted Karlsson to come in at a lower AAV.

 

[Malkinstheman]

So we got EK at a 10m cap hit but also retained 1.56m of Petry's salary

 

[Dominance]

One of you cap wizards tell me what we’re looking at now.

Karlsson at ~12 (just adding in Petry retention) is a lot, but we moved out so much…

 

[Peat]

Am delighted the Rem Pitlick trade finally happened.

 

[deakka]

Not much retention on EK....

 

[Zbynek]

With so much crap going out, I mean f*** man we even shot off CDS into outer space via cannon in this trade, it's hard to be mad over EK65 at 10mil cap hit.

 

[HuskerTornado]

This is like those bad proposals on the trade board that are like "a bunch of our garbage for your best player" only real

Insert the EA NHL11 Neal + Niskanen for Goli "no deal, what an insulting offer" pic here.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Am delighted the Rem Pitlick trade finally happened.

Yeah I was happy to see him included, really nice cost appropriate replacement for Granlund.

 

[orby]

This team will be fun to watch if nothing else.

Retained on Petry, only 1.5mil saved in Karlsson and lost Rutta. I’m not happy

Yay to Ruh full time in the line up. Ffs….
