**Who will play with Erik Karlsson this season?**
The NHL offseason has been filled with numerous surprise moves, and one of the most shocking is the trade of Erik Karlsson from the San Jose Sharks to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The star defenseman’s addition to the Pens roster has sparked a lot of excitement among fans, but one question remains: who will Karlsson be playing with this season?
Rumors have been circulating that the Penguins are looking to pair Karlsson with 2019 first-round pick, Reilly Walsh’s Penguins teammate, captain Sidney Crosby. This duo would undoubtedly be one of the most potent in the league, with Crosby’s incredible vision and passing ability complementing Karlsson’s elite puck-moving skills.
Another possibility is that Karlsson will be paired with Penguins’ veteran defenseman, Kris Letang. The two have played together before, and their chemistry on the ice is undeniable. Letang’s defensive prowess would allow Karlsson to focus on his offense, making them a force to be reckoned with on the blue line.
Flyers fans, while this development doesn’t directly affect your team, can’t help but wonder how these pairings will shake out in the highly competitive Metropolitan Division. Will the Penguins’ acquisition of Karlsson propel them to the top of the division and beyond? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the NHL is in for a treat this season with Erik Karlsson donning a Pens jersey.
