A massive three-team trade was announced in the last minutes!

Karlsson, Petry and Hoffman Traded



The San Jose Sharks, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens have agreed to a three-team deal!

"WE HAVE BIG TRADE NEWS TO ANNOUNCE 🚨


The Penguins have acquired defenseman Erik Karlsson, forward Rem Pitlick, forward Dillon Hamaliuk and a 2026 third-round draft pick in a three-team trade involving the San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens."


"TRADE ALERT:
To PIT: Erik Karlsson, Rem Pitlick, Hamaliuk and San Jose's 2026 third-round draft pick.
TO SJ: Pittsburgh's 2024 first-round draft pick, Granlund, Rutta and Hoffman.
TO MTL: acquires Pittsburgh's 2025 second-round draft pick, Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith, Legare."


"Pittsburgh and San Jose are completing an Erik Karlsson trade. Third team is Montreal."


"I'm hearing that Granlund is going to #SJSharks in a Karlsson trade, and I THINK Petry is being re-routed to Montreal. Not sure about other pieces. It does sound like it's happening today"


"Erik Karlsson, traded to PIT, is an elite offensive defenceman coming off one of the greatest offensive seasons we've ever seen from a blueliner. Amazing passer, excellent shot. Also an extremely poor defender who sacrifices a lot to make that offence happen. #LetsGoPens"


Wow!

This is a monster trade.

Karlsson will get the chance to compete with a top team once again!

Also, Jeff Petry is going back to Montreal, alongside Casey DeSmith, and the Habs get rid of Rem Pitlick and Mike Hoffman. This is a great deal by Kent Hughes.

Details will follow.
