Labanc for Bertuzzi

Created by: Paatre
Team: 2019-20 San Jose Sharks
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 17, 2019
Published: Jun. 18, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Meier is low-balled here to make the cap work. If Dell can be somehow traded to somewhere, you can give better value bridge contract, but I doubt any team even wants to talk about Dell and his contract.

Same goes with Thornton. Thornton really does deserve more but I think he is going to be one of the last guys to sign a contract. But there's also a chance he's retiring. Then you can maybe put Gambrell/Chmelevski as a 3rd line center.

I'd like to get a third rounder for Braun but his value drops a bit due to San Jose's big need to trade him. Picks #124 and #204 is a pretty fair package for Braun.

Labanc for Bertuzzi is fair trade also, I think. Bertuzzi brings the defensive and checking side to the game which DeBoer values. Bertuzzi also has some upside to his game and he can be moved up and down in the lineup in case of need. Labanc then again can bring a big boost to Detroit's offensive game, especially on the power play. He can be the primary playmaker on the first unit and he has a really deceptive shot that can beat any goaltender. I think both teams can benefit from this trade. San Jose's main point is the cap hit.

If the trade value is off, please make some change suggestions but be decent with your comments.

Actually, if I were a Detroit fan even I wouldn't like to see this trade happen. Bertuzzi is an intriguing player. Those kind of players don't grow in trees. But his skill set and what he brings on the ice would be perfect in the Sharks.

If Sharks are trading with Detroit, I want Athanasiou or Mantha.

Don't know if you can get either one with Labanc. Maybe with picks. I just see both being Detroit's core guys going forward. Both had good years, especially Mantha in WC.

This is the third time I've seen that same argument in the last month. It's why Detroit isn't letting him go. He fits in very well with Larkin and Mantha.

Labanc had almost 60 points playing third line minutes, I'd say he could at least fetch Athanasiou.

Labanc doesn't get you close to either of them.

Ok when he scores 30g in a season let me know. AA spent the first part of the season earning back Blashill's trust and he was stuck at wing for the first half of the season he didn't really start to play till they moved him to center.

Labanc is a playmaker, not a goal scorer..

It's looking like either you let Pavelski go, you find a way to move Vlasic or you trade Meiers rights for picks and move a salary with him

New Jersey may be looking for a winger. What would you want from NJ for Labanc? We have 3 second round picks this year and a few moveable prospects.

Actually, when I thought about trading Labanc I made a list of teams who may want to trade for him, Devils came to my mind pretty fast. Especially due to your need for wingers and having those three 2nd round picks. As a rebuilding team, I don't suggest you trade your #34 pick. The value of it will be quite good due to some projected 1st round players will drop to the 2nd round. There may be guys like Puistola, Vlasic, etc. to grab for good value.

I would like to see either a package including Bratt or two of your later 2nd round picks, #55 and #61. Don't know what would be the correct value but I think those two options would be pretty. Then again, I don't know if you should even trade Bratt due to your lack of good wingers like you said NJ may be looking for one. So then it would leave those two 2nd round picks as an option, don't know if it needs anything else to add to that. What do you think? Also, I'm not pretty knowledgeable of Devils' prospect pool.

Yeah I think 2 seconds is a good starter, that might be enough to get Labanc. If anything else is added, it would be a lower class prospect or player. Maybe a deal like Zacha and a 2nd.
