The day has finally come! Erik Karlsson is a freaking member of the Pittsburgh Penguins! Pat and Hunter dive into the trade for this special episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast and give their immediate reactions to it. They look at how Kyle Dubas fleeced both teams in the deal and how the Penguins really didn't have to give up much to get the reigning Norris Trophy winner. They then analyze how much Karlsson will help on the power play, plus how he will take some pressure off Kris Letang at 5v5 so that he doesn't have to be THE guy. After that, they look at how the Penguins will be a lot more fun to watch this upcoming season, even though they may not be a true Stanley Cup Contender like a team like the Avalanche or the Stars. All that, plus much more is in this short emergency episode of Locked On Penguins.
