Assumptions
Sharks will have a quiet offseason, and couture will potentially retire.
Sharks will lose the lottery because we aren’t allowed to win one. I think this team still finishes dead last and have several reservations about playing this many prospects / young players. Kostin, Bords, Guschin, Zadina, and Thrun all seem like the type of prospects to thrive given the right amount of responsibility but to play them all together seems like too much responsibility for each.

Why?

I figured they would want to try and clear as much cap as possible and a 3rd is a good price to do that and get a positive value contract that can play 2nd pair if needed but would be a good 3rd pair d guy (assuming his injury doesnt completely drail his career. 3rd also meaningless for EDM from a draft standpoint so might as well spend it, if yall have a better use for it then its a different story.

For a couple reasons.

1.) I don't perceive Ceci's contract as being one that would cost to move. Lyubushkin is a worse player that played fewer minutes on a much worse team and yet was traded for a 5th in return last offseason with 1 year left at 2.75mil. While each team's situation differs, it shouldn't vary so much to make it cost to move on from Ceci.
2.) I don't view Benning as a fit for what I want in a 3RD and, having seen him do it here in EDM, I don't even view him as a viable 2RD fill-in. He mimics the same stylistic weaknesses that Ceci has (average size, meh skating, no standout skill) and nothing about his play since leaving EDM suggest to me he's changed or elevated his game.
