In the long run, giving up futures doesn't matter to them because they're going to be in a serious rebuild for a while either way.

I don't mind the move for them but yeah, Crosby just turned 36 and Malkin is 37. Adding another injury prone player in Karlsson is asking a lot to go right for them to make a run in the playoffs. Not impossible but the stars will have to align for them.
