The pick is top 10 protected, so they can't possibly pick higher than 11th with this pick.

Regardless of exactly how Karlsson plays, fact of the matter is it was an excellent deal for the Pens. In one move Dubas essentially undid the entire Hextall era (except Carter).

Even if he's a 60 point player next year, this is an improvement on the roster this team had 48 hours ago. Given the assets he had to work with, Dubas did about as well as you could reasonably hope for.
