I replied on my page to the offer.

Not really. The X would have to be substantial, especially the way he's performed in the playoffs so far.

Okay we're not interested then. Our guy scored 14 points in 26 games with arizona. Your guy got 19 points in 82 games with wash. He's got to do much more in the playoffs to raise his value as high as you have it in my eyes. I just like him because he's more physical, but I don't think he's that much greater. We'll gracefully backout unless your price comes down. If you change your mind we'll be listening for you.

I understand. I really do believe that he'll turn into a Joel Ward, and it seems like this playoff is going to be his coming out party. By no means is that a guarantee, but it's something that I believe to be true

Depth in any particular positions, or just a good value package?

That's fair, but we can't afford to meet that type of value. Good luck with him

Mostly forwards, particulary right wing

That's an area I'm pretty thin on unfortunately.

And you're absolutely oppressed to moving Horvat? I could add Mirco Mueller and more to the deal

I don't see moving Horvat in a deal for Bjugstad, sorry. The add would have to be pretty big

I could do Bjugstad, Mueller, a first and a second?

Would you consider this?

Kevan Miller or Ryan Murphy

Not sure about Miller being in my top 4

I'm not going to lie, Miller isn't a top 4 guy, he can be just because his defensive game is so good, but he would be one of the best 3rd pairing guys in the leauge, Murphy on the other hand has some great top 4 potential, but Pesce is slightly better than Murphy so that's why he is on the 3rd pairing in real life.

Let me know.

I wouldn't say excellent. He was drafted 6 years ago, and he's spent time in both the NHL and AHL the past few seasons. Murphy isn't on the third pairing in real life because he's a bust, not because Pesce is "slightly better". Pesce is far and away the better player. Good job trying to trick me there, but I won't fall for it. It seems like you're trying to give me one good piece and a bunch of mediocre pieces to make this happen, which isn't going to cut it

I wasn't trying to trick you, that's just my opinion on Murphy, and as for a bunch of mediocre pieces and one good player, that was the deal you came up with.

I said it was because of my top 4, and you didn't do anything to change that except giving me a bust or a 3rd pairing guy. I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't think a deal happens without one of Nylander, Keller, or Aho, Carlson is a true top pairing defenseman, I can't get a potential second line center and some depth for him

That's a pretty decent pitch sir, but I think I'd still have to pass. If I deal Horvat I feel like I'd have to get a piece back that I REALLY like.

Are you allergic to picks or something? kind of weird you have less than half of the picks you started with.

Haha, I understand what you're saying, but the Sharks need to win a Cup, now. Trading picks is the best way for me to put a roster together that is capable of that

I don't understand why you came up with a deal you had no intention of accepting, kinda weird.

2018 1st (WSH), Orpik (50%), Speers, White, Pietila for Carlson

I didn't say I had no intention of accepting, I said it's something I would consider. I gave you the opportunity to add and make me want to accept, but you didn't

Nope

Would this work for Carlson?
