He’s not a 200 ft player. Don’t think EK is exactly an “Yzerman Type”
How long they been saying he was getting traded to Detroit for? YZERSCAM ain’t gonna make moves dead wings are back
You'd think they would want to sell now because the free agency is so stacked next year
He already has 1.5m being retained. So it is a 10m cap hit. I could see Holl and a 1st for Karlson
Compher, holl, and a 2nd for Karlsson with salary retained and rakell
Karlsson's contract gives him control over approving trade destinations. I have not heard anything about him wanting to finish his career on a team that has not made the playoffs in the last nine years.
EK is not the answer to our defensive problems. But for the right price, I'd take him. Assuming he'd agree to come here
If Pittsburg wants McKenna they need to get rid of EK, Rakell and Rust!
How many times has this been a video over the summer. It’s not happening
