Moving forward

Team: 2023-24 San Jose Sharks

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 2, 2023

Published: Jul. 4, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Prior trades:
-Don’t mind Blackwood for a 6th. It’s a low risk potentially high reward move. Either he’s a stop gap for a 6th or he turns it around and is a shark for a long time.

-Lorentz and a 5th for Duclair I LOVE. Solid bottom sixer and a later pick for a guy who can add scoring to the lineup and is young enough to earn another contract with the team. If he doesn’t want to stay he’s a great chip to move at the deadline and is relatively cheap.

-Kniazev for Gawanke I don’t love but don’t hate. Kniazev improved this year and theres definitely something there. Gawanke offers a right shot and produced well in the ahl last year. Sharks desperately need eight shots on the back end.

Trades here:
-Myers has been speculated to San Jose in the media. Canucks shed a large amount of cap here for rather cheap.

-Karlsson to Pittsburgh has been the recent speculation. Petry would be ideal in the trade however I doubt he waives for San Jose. Granlund is the easiest player to move. There’s a good amount of retention on Karlsson and a prospect going the other way.

-Toronto gets a young defenseman with term to round out their d core. They save money by moving Murray in the deal.

-NJ makes the ECF and therefore the pick from the Meier trade becomes a 1st
