Whats the deal with Erik next year

Sharks 100% accept IMO.

Can't imagine the Sharks want to have 32 million in cap tied up in 4 dmen next season, but I could be wrong.

I don't know if it's in the cards for us to pay kadri 8.5 mil, he's been lights out this year but thats 8.5 till he's 38 years old, I think they pass unless its a 4 year deal at a controlled cap. And i think bukry will be gone for lehky as well here.
As for johnson i always thought he'd be finishing that contract here because that 6 mil pretty much goes straight to macks next contract so we don't need to scramble for that money. He's also been solid in playoffs. Not 6 mil solid but it is what it is

I don’t see San Jose giving up 2 young players for $6 mil in cap a late 1st next year. Take out Balcers and sure I would do it.

I don’t really see that as good asset management with Balcers. Could leave him out and it would be fair with San Jose taking $6 mil in Johnson
