Essentially the same thing as the link above with the minor differences of course being winning the Lafrenire sweepstakes and Riikola being left off the roster.

I can't even begin to imagine the damage this forward core could do. This top 6 is absolutely STACKED and the 3rd line is IMO, without a doubt a top 3-5 in all of hockey. Not to mention our 4th line was one of, if not the best in all of hockey...

Our only weakness would be 3rd line D and if Murray can return to form. If they hold up, it would be a cup or bust season.

ANA

Bjugstad, Nick
2020 4th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Placeholder, this can be done with any team who's willing. Moving Bjugstad frees up a decent chunk of cap space we desperately need. JJ is most likely going nowhere, and I highly doubt they trade Horny this offseason, so it has to be Jugs. Willing to package as much as a 4th to "get rid" of this contract, although I don't expect it to really cost anything.

PIT

Labanc, Kevin [RFA Rights]

SJS

Jarry, Tristan [RFA Rights]
Rodrigues, Evan [RFA Rights]
2022 4th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

SJ gets a drastic upgrade in net + capable middle 6/bottom 6 F. Not sure if SJ is willing to move Labanc at this point, but it solves their most glaring weakness.

Riikola, Juuso [RFA Rights]

I'm gonna be so pissed if we don't sign Riikola, he's literally the 5th best d man on the team (at worst)

For whatever reason idk why Sully doesn't like him.
Also, dunno where he fits with JJ on the squad, he is 100% going to play over Juuso (unfortunately)
Doubt Sully plays him on his off-side because he hates doing that lol..
Management + Sully also LOVE Ruhwedel so he'll be the 7th for sure (I like Chad but think Riikola is better TBH)

I 100% agree with your talent evaluation of JR, just don't see him sticking around being the 8th defenceman due to Sullys unwillingness to play him

The value is fair but the deal fills one hole for the sharks while another becomes bigger. Cant do it.

Sharks aren’t looking to move Labanc as we have zero right handed forwards
