NHL Shockwave: Are the Pittsburgh Penguins Poised to Land Erik Karlsson in a Blockbuster Deal?
Johnston: “Well, he’s willing to be moved. And so I think that, that that helps, because obviously there’s a no-movement clause, but it’s obviously only to a few places. And the flip side of this, I think, Pittsburgh rightly views him as an asset, more of an asset, the closer is the end of his deal, right? He’s down to two years on that contract, and so the contract itself becomes less of a problem.
You know, three years ago, the contract was a problem. He’s still got five years left, but when you get closer to the end, and obviously, in the rising cap environment I’m describing, and on top of that, Pittsburgh does have an ability to eat even more money on it than San Jose already is, you know, I think it becomes a pretty movable object. It just might not be this summer.
