they've been sucking donkey balls since the start of the year and weren't very good last season either, so it's kinda funny if it took Dubas last night's loss to realize they weren't going anywhere

indeed... I think they were hoping for a bit of magic to happen or something, but grabbing Karlsson didn't seem to do the trick.

probably not that easy to move though, the cap went up but those aren't easy salaries to absorb for most teams

ideally if the pens want to get younger they'd also be asking for a player back but in this case getting rid of some salary might be the only thing they'll get

well if they retain 50% they'll get something back for sure. RDs who can QB the PP don't grow on trees. ask TOR if they'd like to have one

salary is one thing, but I wouldn't trade any interesting prospects to get him, not sure if he's that "missing piece" that makes a contender that much better anymore

I think PIT would ask for picks, preparing the rebuild. like with Eller. they could even take a bad contract.
