I don’t think Columbus would make this trade.. Labanc is an upgrade in a position we don’t really have a need for an upgrade in, I’d theater trade Milano and Korpisalo for a top 6 Center, then a top 6 wing that we really don’t need.

Sharks pass, we don’t need another borderline starting goalie. If SJ upgrades in net it needs to be a legit starter with consistently good career numbers. Sharks are seriously lacking right handed wingers and losing our best one for a mediocre borderline starting tender is a big mistake.

Fair enough just thought I would test the water see what people’s thoughts were.


While I agree we need a top 6 c is the goal I don’t think this will get you that. I think Savard or Murray is more likely to fetch that center.

Ya just not that much interest for both sides

Labanc’s numbers mirror Wennberg’s almost exactly the first 4 years...
Year 1 20 points both
Year 2 40 points both
Year 3 56 Lebanc / 59 Wennberg
Year 4 26 Lebanc / 35 Wennberg
Yet everyone on this site undervalues Wennberg in trade value, and everyone overvalues Lebanc.
Labanc is even having his drop off year this year (year 4), just like Wennberg.

Wennberg has 3 more years after this one at $4.9m per year. Labanc is RFA after this season. That could have a little something to do with their perceived trade value.

yeah none of that gets you a top 6 center. If it did, like every team in the league would be putting up some BS package for one.

Korpisalo isn't a starter. Something tells me he's back next year as the backup.
