I would add Holmstrom. That should be enough

My thoughts too but I’m biased cause I prolly overrate our prospectors a bit/have an east coast bias and wanted another perspective

I wonder if SJS will sell before the deadline. Their GM has always been in win now mode

They’re in such a bad spot with their terrible contracts I feel for their fans that’s gonna be a long rebuild

Good start but I would probably want more value here. Skarek isn't a good prospect, so no real need for him. I like Wilde, so that's a solid add. You're gonna have to help me with Bellows because I don't see anything special there statistically, but I also haven't watched him at all. Isles777 mentioned Simon Holmstrom and that would probably be a difference maker to be honest.

My ideal counter would be Wilde, Holmstrom, 2021 2nd (COL), 2022 1st (NYI). Might be overkill but let me know.

Bellows was more of a throw in since he doesn’t have a spot on the isles and won’t- he’s got talent but won’t get a shot here cause he’s not very defensive and now an older prospect very boom or bust.. I’d probably try to top 3 protect the 1 but wouldn’t be make or break to me assuming it happens at the TDL I’d take that deal

I'd do Meier for Bolduc + 2021 1st + Holmstrom

I personally wouldn't do the trade save for a grade-A prospect coming back for Meier. Sharks have actually a decent amount of decent young players/prospects. They severely lack in blue-chip prospects like a Dobson Wahlstrom or Sorokin. Any of those 3 plus a 1st gets it done.

Thanks for admitting you have a biased opinion it makes your thought much more reasonable and understandable.
Given the sharks lack of depth and talent I want to counter offer
Meir for
Okoposo
2021 1st
2022 1st
Holmstrom

The salary evens out you get rid of a cap issue get a top 6 stud and we get enough to start our rebuild.

That’s a lot but the 22 2nd is upgraded for the cap dump.

Assuming you meant Ladd instead of okposo since he’s on the Sabres but I’d do this on the spot I’d guess isles would have to throw in more to take back salary tho

It's middling quantity for quality, exactly the trade the Sharks should avoid. If I am SJ, I'd look for something like Meier for Wahlstrom + first.

Really against moving bolduc but I feel like I’d probably do this
