You must be joking.
Trocheck has more points than games in one of the worst teams of the league. Panther is at best a mediocre team and he has 17 points in 16 games, scoring 8 goals. More than ANY Pens player and 4 points more than Crosby with 3 games less than him. Besides, he's just 24 and has a very good contract in terms of cost and benefits.
Karlsson is also just 24 and he has just 1 point behind Crosby playing 3 games less either in a Expansion Team. His salary is just 1M and he'll be a RFA next year. Another very good cost and benefits.
I admit that Khudobin trade could be an overpayment. However, he's having a very good starting season, he's an experient goalie with a low salary and we'll need badly to trade for one veteran goalie, cause Jarry isn't ready to play in playoffs yet. Besides, I think there'll be another teams, like Oilers, looking to trade for veteran backuo goalies in TD. So, that's why I think we'll need to overpay for this position. But till the TD Pens can study another options, like Ward, for example.
