Sharks 100% accept IMO.

Can't imagine the Sharks want to have 32 million in cap tied up in 4 dmen next season, but I could be wrong.

I don't know if it's in the cards for us to pay kadri 8.5 mil, he's been lights out this year but thats 8.5 till he's 38 years old, I think they pass unless its a 4 year deal at a controlled cap. And i think bukry will be gone for lehky as well here.
As for johnson i always thought he'd be finishing that contract here because that 6 mil pretty much goes straight to macks next contract so we don't need to scramble for that money. He's also been solid in playoffs. Not 6 mil solid but it is what it is

I don’t see San Jose giving up 2 young players for $6 mil in cap a late 1st next year. Take out Balcers and sure I would do it.

I don’t really see that as good asset management with Balcers. Could leave him out and it would be fair with San Jose taking $6 mil in Johnson

Johnson's still a good player though, and the late 1st is nice, but to your point about Balcers I'll retract and say it's not a slam-dunk deal that all fans would be on board with. Maybe if COL took on Simek as an addition to this deal, I think we have to say SJ 100% accept.

I would do this in the scenario that Burns or Karlsson is dealt, and you take out Balcers

There isn’t a planet that exists that COL does that. Let Meloche walk for free once, and EJ isn’t a cap dump. HARD NO.

And that Kadri contract is a boat anchor waiting to happen.

If they move Burns back to RW or trade him it'll be less obviously. And unsure what happens to Vlasic too

Erik Johnson is based in Anaheim area with his horse breeding business I believe. Ducks seem to have cap space and even a need for a RHD. Johnson and a second rounder for Ducks 7th rounder. Good for everyone.
