Sharks future w/ seguin?

Question, why would Carolina want Dell? Mrazek and Darling are good enough until Ned is ready

Mrazek is UFA next year. This is for the 2019-20 year. If mrazek walks as a UFA, and darling stumbles, the canes will need a goalie.

Of course, in truth, the trade doesnt have to be with the canes. Any team in need of a goalie next summer would do the trick.

So Dallas is supposed to give up their #1 C for depth forwards and a couple of picks? I don't see that happening.

This was my thought, and assuming Dallas is contending at that time of year, why sell their top center?

It's natural to think that because the Sharks missed out on John Tavares they will make a push for Seguin. It's a good idea, but I think he is a lot more likely to stay than leave. Tavares left the Islanders because he team was bad, and he could go home and play for his favorite team.

Conversely, Seguin loves Dallas. He likes being out of the spotlight, playing on a relatively good team, and not state income tax. I would be shocked if he left, and if he does, there are a number of teams that would want him.

And with that being said, he will likely get more than $11.000 mil. Tavares turned down money to go to Toronto. Seguin could make like $12.000 or $12.500 mil easy compared to what it sounded like Tavares left on the table.

And the trade for him around the deadline likely doesn't get it done. I think it's a good start, but I don't think you trade a legit #1 center, a top 10 center in the league, for an at best 2C, a middle-six winger, a center prospect who will probable be a second liner, a second round pick, and a good fourth liner.

Make the second a first. Add a third. Add a roster defenseman (Heed, Ryan, DeMelo depending on how this year plays out for them). That probably does the deal. Maybe you can scale back Norris to a Gambrell type prospect. Or instead scale Labanc back to Balcers or something. No matter what, a little bit more is needed.

Remember the Stars traded a top line winger, a good winger, a prospect, and a good defensive prospect for Seguin, a third liner, and an AHLer. And that was before Seguin had a 30 goal season or 70 point season.
