BREAKING: ERIK KARLSSON TRADED TO PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

The San Jose Sharks have traded three-time James Norris Winner, Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Start by breaking down the trade and all the pieces that are going to the Sharks, Penguins, and Montreal Canadiens and what the Sharks are getting in defenseman Jan Rutta, and forwards Mikael Granlund and Mike Hoffman. Then, try to determine if it was a good trade for General Manager Mike Grier as he continues the Sharks' rebuild and why it's hard to judge the trade now until the futures of Hoffman, Rutta, and Granlund are determined. Finally, look at what's next for the Sharks and why a timetable for the 2025-26 season has been set for them to start to be competitive again.
