Team: 2022-23 San Jose Sharks

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 5, 2022

Published: Oct. 5, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

- This would be a scenario in which at the deadline SJS are out, WPG is in or around a wildcard, NYR are in safe playoff position looking to add.
- Timo continues his growth and is scoring around or above a point per game, Wheeler is having a solid season but WPG is looking to move on and so is he, Kakko is still struggling to find that next step.
- Timo and Bones add offensive depth for WPG and Timo is a prospective replacement for a 1st line winger as Wheeler ages and as tension grows between him and the club.
- The condition of a 2+ year extension ensures that the 2nd doesn't upgrade to a 1st if Timo just signs the QO and dips the next year as a UFA
- WPG doest want to give up a 2023 in the event they miss the playoffs and because of draft depth
- SJS throw in a late round pick as WPG is very short on those in the 2023 draft
- SJS Trade Wheeler with 50% retained giving the Rangers (who are in win now mode) two years of a veteran winger scoring at a 55-PGP pace for two years over Kakko who they likely can't wait for to produce while making a playoff run
- Reaves is more of something to throw in to get them under the cap (could be replaced by others)
- Along with Kakko SJS gets the 2023 2nd with a condition of it upgrading to a 1st if the Rangers (who already have two firsts in the draft) get to the Conference Finals
