Radulov>labanc what is this?

No way San Jose does this

Labanc and Radulov are averaging around the same amount of points per game, but Labanc is almost a whole decade younger and Radulov's contract sucks. Tufte isn't that valuable either.

An upgrade

Radulov actually has equal to or better numbers in 10 less games.
SJ is one of the worst offenses in the league; 27th in GF and 23rd in PP.
Regardless of his contract/ age and with a looming rebuild I think SJ would take the trade.
It may take an extra 4th or later pick but, that's about it.

10 less games with equal stats isn’t worth it for what will probably be around 2.5 million dollars cheaper. A 4th round pick isn’t worth jack.

In what world does San Jose have the cap space for Radulov? Are the Stars taking Burns?

Clickbait! I read boobs.

Theyll have 17ish mil for next season I think it was.

Totals were the same but,Rads trumps him in Metric numbers in just about every category and like you said hes considerably younger than him and he also played 10 more games on an avg of 16 mins in ice time. If anything this is over paying.
Hes the 5th best forward with 14gs
19a. The kids a depth player and that abouts all hes going to be; Rads is a top 6 player and other than his illness still looked like he had another 3-5 years left but, with us having Guri who, short of the celly, provides the same thing Rads does it just doesnt make sense to keep him anymore and I think a good depth player is about all hes worth considering his age and rest of term. No ones going to swap a top 6 for him but, a solid depth guy? Sure.
I know they're your team but, I highly doubt SJ passes on Rads just to keep a bottom 6 player.

First of all, Labanc is not a bottom 6 player. I would consider him to be middle 6, at worst top 9. If for whatever reason San Jose did this, Radulov would be on our 2nd line, maybe even 3rd. If we re-sign Labanc, he will also be on our 2nd or 3rd line. We also don’t have cap space for him.

A forward group is comprised of 12 skaters, the top 6 being the most productive on, usually, 17 mins of average ice time at minimum. The bottom 6, which is what you call players who dont quite make the top 6, get less than 17 mins on average. This isnt EAs NHL bud; you're either top 6 or bottom 6. By the numbers Lebanc is a bottom 6 guy and has been since he came into the league. Nothing about the kid says top 6.
Yall will have 17ish mil with no one major needing big money that I recall.

Say we want this guy, then we have around 10 million left. We also need another top 6 player which will cost around 6 million. Lastly, we need a guy who can start as a goalie which would probably cost around 3.5 million. No cap space left and we aren’t close to a full roster. I personally think we should trade Labanc, but for picks or prospects, not old players with bad contracts. Also, middle 6 and top 9 are real terms, I don’t even play NHL 20.

It would take some movement for SJ to get competitive again. Jones wasnt it and Dell isnt looking much better, 1st line and half of the D core is about the good thing left on that squad.

SJ should had never picked up EK.
Waste of, what was it, 11 mil just for one run.
By the time SJ comes out this looming rebuild EK wont be worth any where close to that and say it takes 5 seasons, he'll still be there.

Don’t know why you’re talking about the EK trade but yes it was bad. Seems like you’ve given up on the Radulov trade.

Lol, I'm aware that a good majority of you think you're GMs but, we're not.
Could SJ pass? Yes but, could they also take this? Also yes.
It's not unrealistic.
Has nothing to do with giving up as much as it does with just I'm done debating.
Nothing you used as a argument for why they wouldnt outweighed my why they would.

The EK situation is yalls biggest situation to correct if SJ intends on being competitive any time in the near future and you brought up what all yall need and he hurts that alot more than picking up Radulov who would help those 27th and 23rd for production numbers.

This isn’t even a debate

Labanc is 9 years younger, had the same amount of points in only 10 less games, and will be signed to a way cheaper contract. Yes, Labanc may be a liability defensively but he’s only 24 and will keep improving.
