Description

Just for sake of discussion on the topic, not talking;

Is this a good move? (imo it’s not for the Sharks)
Etc etc etc

Just for sake of “what if” and both teams wants/ needs.

Trades

SJS

Idea of the Base

BUF

Hertl - Hertl is purely a trade piece. Buffalo gets a player they flip immediately. THIS IS A THREE TEAM TRADE. Hertl is traded before you can ask why Buffalo acquires Hertl.

SJS

Newhook, Alex
2023 1st round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

“Disappointment might not be the right word for it, but Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has made it clear that he expects to see a lot more from his top forward prospect, Alex Newhook.“

Quite from Colorado Hockey (this is not destroying Newhooks value but Colorado decides to go all in and make Newhook expendable from his camp/ preseason showing)(I do not think Newhook is a disappointing prospect lol)
*Top 10 Protected - Insurance from 0.5% chance of somehow imploding and missing the playoffs*

COL

Hertl, Tomas ($2,812,500 retained)

SJS

Eichel, Jack

BUF

Labanc, Kevin
Leonard, John
Merkley, Ryan
Newhook, Alex
2023 1st round pick (COL)
2023 2nd round pick (SJS)
2024 2nd round pick (SJS)

SJS

IT DOESNT have to be Colorado - I am just using Colorado as a placeholder because of Newhook and a pick. It could be MIN or TBL or whomever.

This is really interesting 👍

Did bednar say that recently? What a clown. Ugh.

Preseason is such a toxic thing ultimately

This league is so dumb

He was superb in the playoffs last year no less

I just don't see Eichel as a landing spot for SJ. They already have enough expensive contracts, and while Eichel is worth his contract when healthy, the sharks wouldn't have money to build around him. Plus any fair Eichel trade starts with Eklund+SJS 2022 1st which DW won't do. Its better for both the sharks and Jack Eichel to look elsewhere for a trade.

Sabres screwed around too much, they're not getting top value for him anymore

newhook is offlimits

also never use Hockeynow and Dater as qoutes, he is a troll click bait guy. The qoutes about newhook from Bednar are more than this

Eichel value has dropped but i do not disagree with your asking price here, i think Eklund, 2022 1st and Colorado's 2022 1st would be the start then add in guys lie Labanc and Ferraro do even the deal out.
I hope sharks do not do this though.
