What isn't being mentioned is the Pens save $3m in capspace with this win now deal.
Frustrating from our perspective and I'm about ready to get my pitchfork out, as adding Karlsson ended up costing picks, saving capspace, and our window is now.

Not sure why you'd be mad. Just a clean salary dump by San Jose. Sure, Pitt gets short term cap relief, but will be paying for Karlsson's huge back end. Granland and Petry are both still good players. What $11 million were you going to trade off the Oilers roster to make it happen? Oilers don't need Karlsson (or Petry) anyway, they need defencemen that can play actual defence. The no-D PP guy is already here.

If we wanted to try to set the NHL record for lowest PP's opportunities per game, Karlsson would have been a nice add. Could have also helped depth lines push offense more but that doesn't justify 10M. Would have a very different opinion if we didn't have Bouch now.
