I think most people have said it best in the media if you are able to get a person who moves the needle like Karlsson you have to at least try. I agree the bottom 6 is not in the best of shapes, however I think it is miles above what it was last year with the additions thus far and if O'Connor can get signed. As far as POJ him and Ty Smith are basically the same player at roughly the same age. With POJ being older makes him a bit more expendable. I do not think an EK65 deal involves Pickering at all. I also believe that we can get EK65 to fit under cap by just moving Petry out. The way I prefer the Granlund situation is someone take on his cap, however if you cant then buy him out with the second chance that O'Connor is giving with Arb, and use that roughly 4 mil to make more upgrades to the bottom 6 and you still get EK65 and a better bottom 6 thus maximizing the window of Sid and Geno twilight years
