The Sharks wanted out of the Karlsson contract so bad they basically gave him free reign last season to pump up his offensive stats at the expense of defense. Worked out pretty good turning an untradeable contract into a first round pick a year later.
Good move for the Pens too. Karlsson on the power play will be enough to get them into the playoffs and they have enough depth to limit his 5 on 5 ice time.
