    How The Erik Karlsson Trade Shapes Up The Metropolitan Division

    Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Penguins received the Norris Trophy-winning defenseman, Erik Karlsson, in a three-team trade. The Penguins missed the playoffs in the 2022-23 season, so what does this acquisition mean for their chances to return to the postseason in the 2023-24 season?

    The Pittsburgh Penguins are an interesting team to read. They have had a ton of success over the past decade, but their star players like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang are towards the end of their careers. With that being said, Kyle Dubas, the organization's new General Manager is going for it right away, which most people have to respect. 

    I talked about the Karlsson trade and how it affects the division in further detail on today's episode of The Blue Crew. 

    Watch below:

    Erik Karlsson is now a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, making them a threat once again in the Metropolitan division.

    I'll be doing a full breakdown of my predictions for the Metropolitan division as we get closer to the opening day puck drop. 

    The Metro is BOOMIN.
