if im san jose im not signing any aging players for now.

They do have their share of young players, though, and Palmieri's a good player.

can't afford to do it after next year.

Yes you can, if Simek and Donato go the other way. Kulikov would also be a pure rental.

yeah but youre sending one in Donato away and they dont have many prospects who project to be nhl forwards next year. honestly this team needs to tank and find ways to get rid of their anchor contracts, palmeri hurts all that

Sharks decline we're not gonna be buyers at the deadline and we shouldn't be shipping out any early-round picks (especially not for pure rentals)

Price is way too rich as well.

Sharks are set at wing, some are expendable

I dont love the deal, but I guess its a legitimate offer. Only issue is that you would have to keep donato protect him with one of your slots, and trade him to us as future considerations after the expansion draft. Otherwise, theres no way the devils bring in another forward this year. The only exception being if you had a UFA with 2022 expiry, at $1mm or less. they would essentially be cannon fodder, but it would allow the devils to fulfill their exposure requirements. you guys dont have anybody that fits that bill though, so moot point.

Sharks are likely going to retool, not rebuild and tank. They've done it once before after a bad year several seasons back, and they're likely going to do it again. Palmieri is an example of a veteran piece that you would acquire if you retool.

No we can't, hertl and ferraro deals are up, and keeping them is far more important than having Palmeri. And if Leonard and Knyzhov continue their progression, there will be no cap space. Pass from SJ.
