Description
... You might as well be good whenever people can go back to watching your games.

This is dumb, and extra, but also kind of good. There are so many competing teams because of the extra playoffs round - everyone thinks they're really close. What if SJS decided to be bad?

Hertl and Meier are your prized assets - they are on cheap enough contracts to yield a solid prospect and a 1st - especially when taking salary back.

Rather than waiting for Burns and Kane to become awful contracts - sell now. Taking currently worse contracts back, but that end sooner could be a solution that both hands you more long-term assets and allows you to get rid of those contracts to teams that want to be good in the now.

Maybe NYR would take McNabb back as an asset?

Maybe there's a pick too much or little going some direction, but hopefully you get the idea.

Sell Sörensen and Ho-Sang at the TDL - presumably they produce well with PP and lots of ice time.

Vlasic and Couture could be moved if there are trade partners. I'm less sure Vlasic finds a home elsewhere - my best suggestion is Montreal for Alzner. I guess Couture could move somewhere like CBJ as a really good 2C - but they'd need to move salary back and want to take on the big contract to begin with.

whole problem with SJS is their contracts are so hard to move.
Even Burns. 8 million till 39 on an aging defenseman who's play deteriorated last year. Even if you are taking Lucic back, it's a big gamble for the other team.
Vlacic is very hard to move.
Karlsson even Couture. No one wants to be paying aging vets big money at the end of their careers. That model has been replaced.
People want contracts that end at 33-34 years tops. Because all the stats are showing that, that's when the tires fall off.
Very few guys are able to push past that at a high level of play and some of the ones you think should, end up being plagued by injury.
SJS really needs to rethink their model and remove their GM/President as they clearly didn't see this coming.

For a 30-goal scorer on a team that never put up that much offense? Krejci would love a guy with a shot, a set of wheels, and that goes in front of the net as well. And he's 24. I wouldn't move Studnicka unless I got a great asset back. Meier is a great asset imo.

Yeah there is no chance Calgary touches that. No idea how you have Valimaki in the minors but Merkley on the 2nd pair awful take there.

Flames may do something like Lucic a 2nd and Zavgorodny for Burns but Valimaki is not on the table at all. Burns contract realistically is going to suck as much as Lucic's in a couple years
