He did, but 40 million
woooooof. dubie has some work ahead of him lol. yikes.Yeah Pens are capped out. Even after dumping one of their backup goalies they still only be able to carry a 21 man roster (i.e. one extra skater) heading into the season.
Contracts they would probably like to get rid of:
Rakell (30) $5.0 x5
Granlund (31) $5.0 x2
Carter (38): $3.1 x1
Letang (36): $6.1 x5
Petry (36): $6.25 x2
If they can get Karlsson for Petry and Granlund (+picks/kids) at least it should be interesting.
Health would be the factorCrosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Letang, and Hot Karl would be a pretty strong core group.

I think a Karlsson move makes sense, as long as the owner is prepared to pay that ticket, which obviously many aren't. Dubas has to maximize whatever their old guys have left.
Malkin 37
Crosby 36
Letang 36
Karlsson 33
Guentzel 29
Smith 32
Rust 31
Rakell 30
Graves 28
Pettersson 27
Carter 38
Eller 34
Rutta 33
Acciari 32
Nieto 31
That's if they can get rid of Petry (36) and Granlund (32).
