Dubas also shared how he was worried about another team scooping up Karlsson before the Penguins could do so.
While acquiring Erik Karlsson is a massive gamble, it is a worthwhile one at that due to Karlsson's potential as a playmaker for the Penguins. If he is able to build off his career year in Pittsburgh, we could see the Penguins go the distance.
