Yep, other SJ fans will probably disagree, but this is the package from PIT I was imagining, though the protections/conditions on the picks could be slightly more in favor of SJ. Petry wouldn't go to SJ and Granlund is the more logical cap dump for the deal. PIT's prospect pool is depleted so they are doing a bit of quantity package for EK without going full Tampa Bay package for Jeannot, because they can't afford to lose all their picks. 1st & 2nd + prospects should do it though. Question is if PIT is even offering this deal or is offering something more crappy, or asking for more retention.
I don't think Francis is interested in selling the future to get a large ticket player like Karlsson and has a steady-as-she-goes approach to Seattle. I think they're out with how Dunn stepped up, similar to Bouchard in EDM.
