Welcome to a new week, folks!
Here’s to hoping that your week gets off to a good start today.
The NHL week got off to quite a start yesterday, with the Pittsburgh Penguins, San Jose Sharks, and Montreal Canadiens putting their heads together to finally pull the trigger on the long-rumored Erik Karlsson trade.
The Sharks ended up sending the defenseman to Pittsburgh, acquiring Mikael Granlund, Mike Hoffman, Jan Rutta, and a first-round pick (top-10 protected).
Montreal was involved to help facilitate by throwing in (and receiving) a few other picks and prospects, but the big parts of the deal are above.
