I guess Weatherby and Knyzhov don't make the team for some reason. And you overpaid Ferraro by just a bit.

So it's not a buyout for Kane?

Nah contract termination

Have you seen Ferraro's workout routines from his YouTube channel, Youngest of Plugs?

The guy's a beast.

I don't see the NHLPA winning their case to keep SJS from dumping Kane. After that maaaaybe the Canes take him on for $1M - their gamble with DeAngelo seems to be working out for them.

I know Mario's game well. He will get a bridge deal.

Why would the sharks trade Cogliano for another player? And Barabanov is getting more than that

Why would he be paid based on his YouTube workout videos with ~1000 views over his play on the ice, which is just so-so.

Because Cogliano is a 34 year old pending UFA on a team that is missing the playoffs this year?

And it's also what he was traded for exactly 3 years ago?

Hello?



And good luck getting a 1st round pick for Barabanov.

What? You are literally spitting drivel that no one else is talking about.

I've seen this user troll sharks fans in the past. They are simply looking to trigger SJ fans.

His workout videos and the other stuff on his channel illustrate his commitment off the ice to become a stronger player on the ice.

He also plays 24 minutes of TOI per game, he has gotten better every season with the Sharks and has played just as well as Ivan Provorov this year, who has the same contract.



And diminishing what Ferraro is worth and dismissing my appraisal of him because his videos don't get enough views is ridiculous.

Try again.

I'm talking about the same thing you and glarson are talking about.

Want to try again and stop gaslighting?

Excuse me? Who tf you? Barabanov is returning more than a late 3rd rounder and I didn’t say he was bringing back a first, not sure what you’re on. There no point in trading Cogliano for another player, might as well just keep him. If they trade him they are getting a 4th or 5th rounder.

You say "excuse me?" and then proceed to use coarse language.

You're funny.



I made an assumption because too often, people like you grossly overvalue their own players.

When Barabanov was traded from the Leafs, the Sharks gave up a middling prospect for him.

I'm not that far off when I say he might only get a 3rd round pick.

Cope.



You realize that 4th and 5th round picks have like a 20% chance or less of playing 100 games in the NHL?

Sharks are getting another NHL player for Cogliano ... with term.



No need to keep attacking someone from outside your fanbase.

Have you watched him play at all or seen any of his analytics? Or are you just going off of his TOI?

I'm on the East Coast, so that means Sharks games don't end until like 12:30AM eastern.

Past my bedtime.

Sorry.



And his analytics over the last three seasons suggests he's getting better and more reliable.

And they are more important than the # of views he gets on his videos, amirite?

ummmm, his analytics have suggested he's all flash no substance, which the play on the ice often represents (been much better the past few weeks though), he is extremely athletic and competitive, but is extremely prone to defensive breakdowns. If you have analytics from another source, I'd actually really want to see it (really, I cancelled my subscription to EvolvingHockey a while back).

He has 20 points in 30 games playing in the top 6, he’s getting more than a late 3rd period. I don’t care what they got him for, that has zero impact on what they would get for him now in a trade based on his play. I’d rather sign a guy who actually brings something to a lineup and take a chance on 4th rounder honestly. Sharks got Brandon Coe in the 4th and he’s a top point getting in the OHL this year, you never know.

Whenever I use analytics to compare players like Ferraro, I find that the "compare players" tool on dobberprospects comes in handy sometimes.

Basically, just punch in the names of two players and off you go.



Looking at Ferraro's stats for this season and that of Provorov's, Ferraro is ...



1. Producing points at about the same pace.

2. Taking fewer minor penalties.

3. Hitting more

4. Blocking more shots

5. Giving away the puck less

6. Taking away the puck more.



It's an imperfect comparison.

But Ferraro is the Sharks' best LD and is surprisingly underrated by a lot of other people commenting in my thread.

I especially like his work ethic and I think he's a valuable asset to your team.

Last season, Barabanov had 7 point in 9 games and was also playing top 6 minutes.

Why would he only sign for a million dollars?



If you can find a trade for a pending UFA that is as good as Barabanov, I'll edit and give the same return to the trade in my post.

I'll do that.

He signed for $1 mil because that’s literally just 9 games. He wasn’t proven to be a top 6 player. So in 39 games he has 27 points with the sharks. That’s a .69 ppg or 57 points in an 82 game season. How in the world is that worth a late 3rd?

Do you want me to edit my post and give the Sharks a return to your liking?


Or not?


If you do, you'll find me a trade for a pending UFA like Barabanov.


If you can't, then your whining and complaining amounts to nothing.


Go!
