no karlsson

That would be the worst thing to happen in TML since Ballard was let out of jail!

Are you Stupid, Karlsson sucks

He's a PP QB and proven playoff performer, exactly what the Leafs need.

I have seen Karlsson play, And he is not gonna help with his horrid cap hit

He was not a fit in Pittsburgh. The year before he won a Norris. He still has game.

if you take out all of
Pickering, Owen
Yager, Brayden [Reserve List]
2025 1st round pick (PIT)

and TOR adds a 1st and Minten.... penguins agree.

But they aren't paying that above for rental Marner who they don't want and won't be extending.
If they were going to invest 10 mil into a winger, they would have resigned Jake, who actually shows up in the playoffs.

Karlsson by himself has no trade value. He's in the trade to make the cap match. The trade is Marner for a 1st and 2 prospects. Pittsburgh gets out of the remaining Karlsson contract without retaining.

Dubas Accepts without hesitation

"Karlsson by himself has ..... "

You can just stop right there, you done.
Good luck looking for a 1LD who can help generate offense on that dead ass team.
The cost of EK will be a 1st and Minten. Go on with the rest of your nonsense elsewhere.
Other teams players have value too. Maybe try convincing some 5 year old how Marner returns anything. About best you gonna do because no GM is giving you much for an 11mil per rental that you have to get to agree to you trading him. Talk about no value...
