Minor trade

I like it for the Avs, not sure if SJS would do it though

Merkley was a risk pick at the time for attitude issues. Idk if that’s an issue anymore, but I can see SJ move on from him for another “project fresh start” player.

If sharks land Lundquvist then i could totally see this deal happening, otherwise he have so little in RD near NHL prospects with Laroque being the next guy and still 1-2 years out from seeing playing time and 2-4 years from being top 4 guy and the rest of the RD prospects being 3-5 years out (if ever)

I don’t see San Jose considering this at all. RD is a big position of need for San Jose whereas RW like Kaut is jam packed with prospects. Kaut hasn’t established himself in the nhl either.

sharks are so thin right now at RW, yes Coe looks like a future middle 6 power forward RW and weisblatt and Robbins look to be solid NHL RW but having another guy who has skill and size and is young would be helpful. but again only if we can land Lundqvist first.
