Quoting: AceCane
Foote,Mercer and Newhook are all top end prospects that now give Sharks a future core to not only work around but build with and getting rid of a guy whos going to need a big contract and another guy who would just be waisting the rest of his career in SJ while getting a fair return. And the draft picks are basically a sweetener, most likely a 40-50th pick(2nd NJ) and a very late 3rd round or early 4th based on how you look at the Colorado team
Well, Well, well i do one recherch just for you.
And analyse your trade.
SJ put on table 2 top gun under 27 year old + 1st pick (Merkley) ( total value 5 1st pick)
SJ receved Mercer, Foote and Newhook (3 1st pick)
Bernier is out forever.IR.
+ 2TH AND 3th pick.
So MAYBE this 3 guy becoming a star, maybe not.
Mercer and Newhook is close to be...
At the end, Colorado pay Newhook + 3th for à star.
NJ pay Mercer + 2th for à star.
Honestly that the différences Between 2 Star 100% and maybe à star.
Risky business for SJ.
But i love Mercer and Newhook and they are so young if they become a Star for 15 year each....
I love to see Colorado put 1 more pick( 2th) and
For SJ not give Merkley and it's a DEAL
But still SJ take the risk.
But sometime, the risk give high reward...
