While this is an interesting add for the San Jose Sharks, I don't think they would be willing to risk another first round pick if it becomes another lottery pick. The Leafs did that two years in a row and it bit them in the ass for contention.

Oh absolutely -- I should've put in there that I do this deal only if the 1st rounder is top-5 lottery protected.

EDIT: just updated and reflected that condition in the trade proposal.

WPG decline, they need to stay competitive right now, this would hurt their team

If Laine wants out, a rebuild would be wise on their part. Ehlers was rumored to be on the trade table last year, but the price was apparently too high. This offer is more than fair and fits what WPG needs in a rebuild.

Really underwhelming offer for Ehlers, no thanks.

I wouldn’t say this offer is fair, but you’ll need an overpayment to get Ehlers

I think Sharks try to trade Burns deal to Winnipeg in any hypothetical

If Laine wants out they need to hold onto Ehlers.

If they do trade him it’s for a top 6 center or top 4 LD immediately.

Having True and Ehlers on the same team would be kind of cool since they're cousins...
