Erik Karlsson Almost Traded to Pittsburgh

Karlsson Almost in Pittsburgh.

The ongoing debate about Erik Karlsson's future has fans eagerly awaiting to see where he will end up.

Surprisingly, it seems we may be closer to a deal than expected, as Kyle Dubas is highly interested in bringing him to Pittsburgh.

In fact, we recently learned that a potential trade was nearly completed on July 1st but was ultimately cancelled at the last minute.

Josh Yohe of The Athletic reported:

Here are the details of the trade that didn't happen:

This trade proposal appears to be fair. Karlsson's value is exceptionally high, and the Penguins have offered a compelling package to acquire him.

If this deal fell through, it's likely that Dubas will consider revising his offer. He will probably want to address this situation as soon as possible, especially with other teams like the Hurricanes also expressing interest in the defenseman.

As seen on Hockey Feed - Failed trade for Karlsson could now lead to imminent transaction!
