Trade Deadline - Karlsson Toews Lafferty

Three cap dumps and retaining nearly 20 million. You're high

Detroit's not retaining 2.125M on Toews for a lousy 2023 5th round pick, We only have 2 retention slots open. And Bertuzzi gets one and someone else perhaps Maatta the other.

And Mile Grier already said he's only retaining 18% on EK65. And Edmonton is the very last team that should be spending those kind of assets on an extremely expensive Dman like Karlsson.

I know right, Mike Grier at Ken Holland and blocks his number.

Don't think the Sharks get a better offer than this from a legit contender. Zero cap dumps genius. All 3 players make your team right now. Ceci is a value contract with multi-year term and becomes your 1RD. Barrie is one of the best PP QBs in the league... not much of a downgrade from Karlsson in that regard, and is your 2RD all day. He's currently playing 2RD on a GOOD team. Once Meier is gone, Foegele likely plays ahead of Bonino as 2LW. Then 3 first round picks on-top for only 40% retention. That is a good return for a guy who wants out of SJ (specifically to a contender) and has a 10-team no-trade clause kicking in this summer.

Sharks just keep EK65 here. This is wishful thinking fantasy land stuff.
