The Pittsburgh Penguins have had one of the best off seasons that any team has had in recent memory. Bringing in Kyle Dubas was the best thing that the penguins have done so far and it is paying off wonderfully. Kyle Dubas signed a lot of free agents like ryan graves and Noel Acciari but his big move of the offseason was the Erik karlsson trade. Erik karlsson is a hall of fame defenseman, but will he be enough to bring the Pittsburgh Penguins to one more Stanley Cup Win?

Dubas is trash u will find out. You are cheerleading a move for karlsson that had one good year in the past like 6 years and is pushing 35.
Crosby and letang are responsible for bringing karlsson over because Dubas lets his players be the boss and is their friends instead of the boss
Hopefully get Tomas Tartar too
The two biggest factors for the Pens this year is A) health, and B) workload. The Pens are an older team, making them more susceptible to injury and wearing down; look how badly they faded at the end of last year when they desperately needed one point against two terrible teams and lost both games. Last year, this was NOT a team that could protect leads, again indicating how old this team is. How healthy do the Pens stay overall and how fresh they are for the playoffs will be the true limiting factor.
everyone knows Dubas always goes out to get the most expensive/best player, its just not always the right player…
I would personally use Nylander and Zohorna over Carter and Nieto. Zohorna had really strong metrics as a Penguin. Never understood why he's the one who needed to go.
Johnsson over Pitlick probably, since Pitlick is one of the worst defenders in the league.
But yeah I don't see Carter as even the 16th best Forward. I'd use Hinostroza and Puustinen over him too.
