Kyle Dubas, I could kiss you on the mouth, HOLY SHIT

Build the Dubas statue right now. Holy moly what a robbery

This is an insane fucking deal for us lmao. They gave up basically nothing

I’m naming my firstborn Kyle Dubas holy shit, dude just got rid of every bad contract we had left from the Hextall debacle

So all in all, the two picks are really all we gave up. Petry, CDS, and Granlund are pure cap dumps. Legare is likely to never make the NHL. Rutta is mildly disappointing to lose, but isn’t anything of substantial value. I’m a little concerned with who plays RD on the bottom pair now, but I suppose there are worse problems to have. $10M is a hair more than I would have wanted EK’s cap hit, but shedding Petry AND Granlund’s full contracts helps offset that.
EDIT: Apparently we’re eating 25% of Petry’s salary. That stings a little, basically makes the Karlsson retention a wash. Whatever.

WE GAVE THEM ALL OF OUR BAD PLAYERS FOR ALL OF THEIR GOOD PLAYERS

Holy fucking shit, he offloaded a bunch of bums for the Norris winner, absolutely unreal

WE LITERALLY KEPT EVERY GOOD ASSET-
POJ, TY SMITH, PICKERING, YAGER.
My god I can’t even stand this. I’m sexually attracted to this trade.

This is like a NHL game trade with difficulty set to easy

The maniac actually got it done 🫡
Rudeyyyy
Dubas playing the GM role like it’s a video game.

Daddy Dubas with the steal 🥵

Has anyone done a paternity test on Dubas cause I’m pretty sure he’s Rutherford and Shero’s son… It’s like all the good parts of a JR trade and all the good parts of a RS trade.

DeSmith: Gone
Ruuta: Gone
Petry: Gone
Granlund: Gone
Picks: who cares, team will bottom out by then.
Karlsson: In
Cap space: saved around $3M
My God. Literal “all our bad guys for their good guy” video game trade.
Dubas’ first move as GM is amazing. The President of Hockey Operations should pat that guy on the back.
Heh heh heh heh
Cup or bust.

Pittsburgh legit saves over 3M in cap space with this move too.
shelvedtopcheese
We basically acquired Karlsson making cap dump level trades. Now the boys ride into the sunset with a generational offensive D man onboard. Holy shit.
toonman27
The first round pick is Top 10 protected too. So if shit somehow really hits the fan, we’ll still have our first this year.
MinimumEnvy
Pens fans, I’m not sure if you’re stoked for getting Karlsson or because you no longer have to watch Mikael Granlund play?
slow_joke
How on earth did Dubas pull that off? Literally dumped all of our worst contracts in one fell swoop. This is an absolute best case scenario.
Madturtl3
I love how he was all like, “Actually, *I* am the GM,” yesterday… and then he does this. What an absolute Alpha.

On paper you can’t call this anything other than a home run. Karlsson is a Penguin, POJ is still a Penguin, only gave up 1 1st rounder, dumped 2 albatross contracts, didn’t give up any of the top prospects in the pipeline (Legare was looking like a wash in the AHL), actually added a couple interesting depth forwards.

So, how tall are we thinking for the Dubas statue?
starlightequilibrium
All of the shitty trades and mid signings that Hextall made just went out the window. Has there ever been a GM that’s come to a team that has been so aggressive in un-fucking what a previous GM has done, all while chasing the most coveted player available on the trading block?
I knew Dubas was going to be good for this team but I could never have predicted this.
BJsFeelGood
Imagine who we coulda got from Russia if Kyle Dubas was in charge of the Brittney Griner negotiations

Visiting Sharks fan. Seems like from the reactions of both subs this is a rare win-win for both of our teams. We are taking this year so taking some of your bad players and a 1st works for us too. Cheers everyone. Hope it works out for you.

Remember the article a few days ago with the 5 worst Penguins contracts? We just traded 4 of the 5 on the list for Erik Fucking Karlsson. Build Dubas a statue
CoderPenguin
I’m always curious how the other subs react to trades, seems like everyone thinks their team got a good deal! Funniest comment is someone over at Sharks saying Granlund helps them tank 😆

I want to fight Ron Hextall for wasting so much of my life.
