You just took two of Sharks' top 5 prospects for a pile of scraps... They'll decline easily.

DAL will accept that though.

Lol that SJS trade is actually brutal

According to NHL.com I've got zero of five: https://www.nhl.com/news/san-jose-sharks-prospect-watch/c-308578480

Since last season, Copley stops fifteen more of every thousand NHL shots than Jones or Dell, and when he was 21, he was better than Korenar is right now. This board is full of people trading SJ's 2020 1st round pick for goalies, and I'm getting lit up for upgrading them in net at a cost of an undrafted free agent with one point in six NHL games, a sixth round pick with one point in six AHL games this year, and an undrafted AHL backup goalie.

If you're gonna quote that ESPN toolbag who said the Caps' prospects were all horrible, and Carolina's and San Jose's were all amazing, before the Caps' prospect team lit up Carolina's prospect team for like ten goals in one game, I'm laughing (edited: with) you while I type this.

And I'm laughing loudly to cover that I never paid him the $20 to read his brilliant stock picks or whatever. I'm sure they're good, but I don't think any of those three guys will turn SJ's season around. Copley could steal a couple games. Some competition in net could get Jones going. Stephenson has three points in six games this year, and kills penalties.

Still a no from the sharks. We cannot afford to trade quality prospects for fringe players(even though I like Copley and think a deal for him could work).

Cool. Thanks!

I haven't seen any of the Sharks' prospects play. Just going by stats to try to gauge value. Who do you think could help Hershey make the playoffs this year in exchange for Copley giving the Sharks a little bit more of a chance at the playoffs this year? They don't have to all be 20, but still being decent prospects would help, since the Caps don't need to make any moves while they're chilling in 1st overall, and Copley gives them expansion draft insurance.

Aside from True, that link shows only their highest draft picks. Chmelevski is a 6th round pick, but he performed really well last season in the juniors, and also in the WJC's.

Also against all the odds, Bergmann showed that he has good abilties to play in the league, and he made his debut this year. He played a handful of games pretty well, but in order to use the entry-level slide, SJ loaned him back to Germany.

At the very least, these two assets have the potential to bring to the table much more than Copley and Stephenson will. They have more room and potential to improve, but I don't see Copley and Stephenson getting any better from what they currently are.

Oh. Okay. Well, if he's not in the AHL this year, then he's probably not going to help the Bears make the playoffs.

What would you guys think about Korenar, Gregoire, and either of Blichfeld/Letunov for Copley and Stephenson? I think that should get the Bears going, really well, help out the Caps' prospect depth, give the Sharks a goalie controversy to get Jones going, and give them a checking wing who isn't quite bad enough to keep a team from winning a Cup.

Or what do you think would be fair?

Imo that's ok, although I'm uncertain whether Sharks can actually afford this or not. The assets cost them $2M+ but they aren't giving any NHL asset in return... You'd probably need to take Dell to make this work and then bury him...

Cool. Thanks so much! Yeah... that could be an issue. I assume they'd send down guys who aren't pulling their weight defensively, and maybe put one or two of their three injured guys on LTIR. If they can get three decent goalies playing together, that often motivates them all to work harder.
