kipwinger 8,004 Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:30 PM (edited) I swear the level of dingbattery amongst hockey pundits and fans is absolutely epic. Over at The Athletic there's an article disparaging Mike Sullivan for the mess the Penguins are in. At no point in an article (that both praises Dubas' acquisition of Erik Karlsson and laments their lack of depth) does the writer take one second to point out that Pittsburgh is paying Karlsson 11.5 million dollars (against the cap) to be a defenseman and powerplay specialist...neither of which he's doing well. To put this into perspective, that's how much we're paying JT Compher, Shayne Gostisbehere, and Daniel Sprong combined. And all it cost them was a first round pick and at least two players they could currently use more than Karlsson. It's the dumbest trade in recent memory. What did that trade actually accomplish? Well, it definitely made Kyle Dubas look like a big shot. So good for him. Edited Tuesday at 10:31 PM by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He scored 100 points last year and was MINUS 26!!! They're paying full price (11.5 million) for a guy who is 33 years old, scores all the time, and somehow manages to get scored on even more than that. Pittsburgh fans should tie Kyle Dubas to a lamp post and tar and feather him. Instead they blame Sullivan because they're all just as dumb, and impressed by flashy players, as Dubas is.

Karlsson can't play defense, doesn't even really bother trying, scores a bunch but gets scored on even more, and they lose. It's a tail as old as time. I'm not sure why Pittsburgh thought it would be different now. Oh wait, yeah I do. Kyle "Why Bother With Defense" Dubas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
