Penguins rumors: Erik Karlsson 'open' to joining a contender
Briefly

The Pittsburgh Penguins face a necessary rebuild after three seasons without playoffs, with Erik Karlsson potentially on the trade block. According to Pierre LeBrun, Karlsson, who is open to waiving his no-move clause, seeks a change after two years with the Penguins. Despite previous success, his performance has declined, posting 56 points in the 2023-24 season. However, his high cap hit of $10 million complicates potential trades, even as contenders express interest in his skills as both a forecheck-breaker and offensive player.
My understanding is that Karlsson would be open to waiving to join a contender.
It all depends on how teams view Karlsson, who played very well for Sweden at the 4 Nations.
