I called it months ago - Karlsson would go to Pittsburgh !!! Spezza being there I knew it would right away

What a odd 3 way deal tho

LOL Pens are going to be relegated to the Senior league soon. Good job by Grier getting rid of that monstrosity Co tract and actual getting value back for a guy who didn't wanna be there. Dubas continues to Dubas! Remaking the Pens in his image... they will be the softest team in sports!!!

Without goaltending they are really in the same boat 🚢 as the last 5 years without a playoff series win.

I mean what have the Sabres done over the last few decades? The franchise has been irrelevant since Hasek was in net.

Petry's wife and family will be irate!!! I'm pretty sure he didn't agree to this trade, and this might get ugly in MTL. Very surprising.

MTL piece of this makes no sense. They agreed to take all of Pitt’s trash salary in exchange for a 2nd round pick???

Because they will probably retain and flip him for another asset

Mtl was also able to dump Hoffman’s $4.5 mil. Must think they can still get some value out of Petry. Shrewd getting the 2nd rounder in 2025, projected to be a bit deeper than 2024.

SJ still in cap hell with too many long, bad contracts. Going nowhere anytime soon, and a struggle to see any light at the end of the tunnel yet.

Great regular season trade for Pitt, but will be tissue paper soft in the playoffs. Could be fixed at the trade deadline, but the asset cupboard is pretty bare.

That's ok, our whole team will be an albatross contract in a couple years. Just trying to squeeze out a couple playoff appearances and maybe win a round.

Surprised no one has mentioned the fact Hoffman AND Karlsson were both involved in the trade. Also 2nd time Hoffman has been traded to the Sharks...they will be linked forever.

Retain who? Petry? No one is touching that contract. So yeah, MTL will absolutely retain him

Petry is only owed 6 Million in actual cash over 2 years. Montreal will retain on that contract and flip him for an asset or take another bad contract back in return
