this is a fascinating, and I love it all.

Most every deal is realistic. Maybe a few tweaks, but largely possible.

I love the D, love the O, and the goaltending in the short and long term and it fits with the cap. Would require some NTC waiving, and hoping specific that MTL would take pickles, but its possible.

MTL are not willing to take Marc-Edouard contract. For a 1st ? No you guys need to give, we dont wanna touch that

Thanks for your input. Whether we add picks or prospects on our end to make it more enticing for MTL, or remove the 1st from MTL and make it multiple 2nd and 3rd round picks coming back to SJ, my thinking was Vlasic could be convinced to waive for MTL since that's where he's from originally. For the sake of this Sharks roster, the point is to clear Vlasic's contract off the books. I'm betting we could find a team that's willing to take on his contract.
