Thread: let the kids play
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>thought bemstrom could compete for a spot but ok.

poj has big potential that it's not going to flourish with the pens cuz we already have tanger and karlsson

as for rakell he is a good player. sure he had a bad season but he is a skilled veteran that could play with the top kids you will draft or already have and help them out. he is also a good playmaker so he can help on that front as well.</div></div>

Both POJ and Bemstrom are mid 20's fringe/bottom of the line-up NHL'ers. They don't really provide any value at all to the Sharks, and would really just take roster spots from younger players with potentially more up-side.

Rakell is still a good player, and the Sharks do need some reasonably good veterans to fill out the line-up next season so you're right on that point. But he's 31 making 5 mil a year for the next four seasons. There's just no way the Sharks would go for it.

Thread: Buffalo and philly fans would this be enough
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>It's a question nobody on here can answer and anyone that pretends they can is kidding themselves.

In 2019, AZ jumped from 14 to 11 for pick 45. Your value is fine.

Just comes down to each FOs individual draft board and how things shake out on draft day. On paper and for ACGM entertainment purposes, it's totally reasonable.</div></div>

True, I guess I just wanted to see what the perspective of the other fan bases were.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Waffelz</b></div><div>I think the level of parity between the players available in the middle of the 1st this year make trading up a poor decision.</div></div>

For any other team I would agree, but the Sharks desperately needs more talented D prospects. So in terms of improving our prospect pool Yakemchuck would make a hell of a lot more difference than a Greentree.

Thread: Nightmare scenario - dropping to third
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>I think you're overestimating how much Montreal would want to move from 6th to 3rd. Especially considering how the tiers of prospects is shaping up.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nativewulf</b></div><div>Gonna be honest here. This draft is pretty deep up to about 13, and outside of Celebrini and Levshunov all of the guys behind them could go in any order depending on how each team views them.

What I'm getting at is you're not getting that package to move down from 3OA to 6OA. Maybe a team further down would give up serious capital, but I'm talking about moving from outside the top 10 to get to 3. Other than something like that happening, you're not returning 3 extra assets to move up 3 spots.</div></div>

Moving into the top-3 of any draft would be expensive. I actually based this on proposals from Montreal fans (one here earlier today, and one I saw one twitter a couple of days ago) with really the only difference being that I removed a prospect going to the Sharks and instead included a 2nd rounder.
