Friedman reveals timeline for the Erik Karlsson blockbuster trade
Erik Karlsson has been a hot name on the trade market for quite some time now, and after months of rumours, this weekend may finally be a time that we get some answers.
Karlsson to Pittsburgh?
The team most linked to Karlsson in recent weeks has been the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are gearing up for one last Stanley Cup run with this core, and now, the link grows stronger.
The teams second buyout window opens this weekend, and with plenty of cap space needed to take on Karlsson, that has signified the potential for a deal to be done, according to Elliotte Friedman.
Timeline for a deal
According to Friedman, the next 72 hours should be very interesting in Pittsburgh, with rumblings that a deal could be made this weekend between the two sides.
I am very curious to see by the time that buyout window closes. We have some clarity on Erik Karlsson.
There is noise on the radar to keep an eye out this weekend.
