Description

From what i can tell from an outside perspective, Edmonton has a RD problem, and a "James Neal problem" I've also heard that a lot of EDM fans are not a fan of Brodberg (at all), aand everyone knows about poolparty.

The way I see it, Burns for Neal and Broberg, while Pulijarvi for 2020 2nd.

Sharks need to free up cap space from D, and really need a 2nd pair Defensive RD (Justin frickin Braun again). Burns is the obvious choice to leave.

Lots of the problems with Vlasic really suggest that moving him away from Braun and out of a defensive role is what has been killing him, (look at his per60 stats with Braun vs Karlsson relative to competition, its a really glaring hole), not that he will ever get back to 15-16 god level, but make him a serviceable defenseman.

Saw the min trade earlier and thought that if MIN was willing to do that, SJ would probably be willing to attach some cursed 3rd round picks to them.

Bye Sorenson.

3rd line is completely new, I'm really big on sharks bringing in one of former arch enemies Nosek or Eakin, physical presence is much needed. Neal would be amazing on the 3rd (still bad contract), but perfect role, Pulijarvi is self explanatory.

Draft Strategy:

1st:
Reach: Holloway, Jarvis
Likely: Peterka, Bordeleau, Lapierre, Reichel, Perrault.

Yes, I know this is a reach.
