Description

The tank must go on. Season's just started, but I suspect Mike will use this season to continue building the Sharks' farm system and shifting vets for picks.

At the time of this post, I suspect the players most likely to be traded come TDL are Benning, Barabanov, and Duclair. I know there's speculation regarding Couture's future as well but I think a trade involving him will most likely occur during the offseason. There will be more cap space available and we'll have a clearer picture of what team Cooch could be looking for, so he is not being moved for this ACGM.

Trades

Additional Details:

Florida needs depth in the blueline and Benning's contract would be affordable for them.

I think rangers would be interested in Duclair too. They only have roughly $3m to work with at TDL

Sharks only have 1 retention slot remaining.

Could probably get better for bargain bin Benning. Hes a very underrated player for super cheap. Also sold too low on Barbs. Overall less than fair for Sharks

Duclair to the rangers makes more sense, but I think we have his value to high there (2nd and 3rd or 4th should be reasonable) Barbi is looking like he is primed for a good season and likely would get 2 2nds IMO. Benning for a 3rd seems reasonable given his great contract!

I think 1sts will be hard to come by IMO sharks just don’t have rentals who we can justify getting a 1st for unless some guys pop off (like Barbi and Duclair) my other thought is if Duclair and Barbi have seasons worthy of a 1st return, wouldn’t it be more logical to keep them and resign them???

I mean I think they both could be a good fit. Maybe Duclair more because of his speed to help play against Devils and Canes. But I can’t see NYR extended them, they would be purely rentals…unless they move on from Laffy in the off-season
