No

this is not a rebuild but disaster in my eyes
i'd cross the contracts with Ryan + Galchenyuk + Ennis & Gustafsson
even don't like to see Drouin coming

Chi Accepts

Sharks arent interested in moving Merkley unless its for a young forward of a similar potential

Build another year...ramp up in 2022 when Subban and Schneider come off the books.

No reason to move Zajac...he is the tenured leader for this club. More valuable to NJD than elsewhere.
They are not going to move any assets to move Subban. They don't need cap room.
SJS trade is great for NJD, doubt Sharks will like it.
Zacha - even after all the ups and downs - would still get way more than 4th/5th. Young centers are almost never traded.

For sure no from SJ

Yeah that's gonna be a no thanks from the Sharks. In terms of play style Drysdale and Merkley are a bit off, but in value, I see Merkley as a diet, more offensively minded Drysdale. We'd rather stick with the prospect we know is developing well, than draft a potential (but unlikely) bust with the Arizona pick.

That ARI 1st is a good start though.

So basically SJ gets back the pick they used on Merkley and wastes 2 years of development time spent on him just to start back over again on another prospect? No thanks.
