I know you said you dont want to hear about EK, but I can't help it.
Elliotte Friedman on 32TP on Karlsson and the pens:
"At the draft on Wednesday before the first round, someone said to me, look into it, Karlsson to Pittsburgh get it done. By the way I just want to to apologize on this pod to all the particulars on the Karlsson conversations, I've been bothering for the last five days like I know in annoying, I've been even more annoying when it comes to this one, and I was told not happening, can't really make it work, need a third team, but then I heard it gain traction after that, and on Saturday, like I said I heard Seattle was out and i heard Carolina and Pittsburgh those were the two teams I heard about, and I heard Pittsburgh was really trying and like Dubas met with the media and talked about his team, but I don't think hes done. He's got more to do to reshape the roster and he wants to do more to reshape the roster and I think chasing Karlsson, its not the only thing but it obviously would be a major part of it if it happens. Even if he doesn't get Karlsson, I dont think he's done. I think one of the challenges in making the Karlsson deal is that they have players who can block trades whether that's everywhere or to San Jose, and that's a challenge for them, but I think Dubas is far from done remaking this roster and I think if he can get Karlsson, he will. He tried in Toronto. Dubas really likes Karlsson and I think he would like to get Karlsson, I just dont know if he can pull it off."
