Three cap dumps and retaining nearly 20 million. You're high

Detroit's not retaining 2.125M on Toews for a lousy 2023 5th round pick, We only have 2 retention slots open. And Bertuzzi gets one and someone else perhaps Maatta the other.

And Mile Grier already said he's only retaining 18% on EK65. And Edmonton is the very last team that should be spending those kind of assets on an extremely expensive Dman like Karlsson.

I know right, Mike Grier at Ken Holland and blocks his number.

Don't think the Sharks get a better offer than this from a legit contender. Zero cap dumps genius. All 3 players make your team right now. Ceci is a value contract with multi-year term and becomes your 1RD. Barrie is one of the best PP QBs in the league... not much of a downgrade from Karlsson in that regard, and is your 2RD all day. He's currently playing 2RD on a GOOD team. Once Meier is gone, Foegele likely plays ahead of Bonino as 2LW. Then 3 first round picks on-top for only 40% retention. That is a good return for a guy who wants out of SJ (specifically to a contender) and has a 10-team no-trade clause kicking in this summer.

Sharks just keep EK65 here. This is wishful thinking fantasy land stuff.

You're very cute. The answer is still a big no. Good luck doing anything of note with Barrie and Nurse on PP1 lol.

Wasting the prime years of McDavid and Drai.

Fair point regarding Toews retention, there are many other non-playoff teams that would love to take a nearly free pick. The cap space is irrelevant to Detroit, or Anaheim, or Arizona, etc because it's only for the remainder of this season. More importantly, there is only about $220,000 of real cash owed on the contract... which obviously is far less than the over 2M of cap.

Regarding Karlsson, it's a buyers market... what the GM wants isn't necessarily what he will get. No teams can afford an $11M dman... or even a $9.5M one. They won't disrespect him by trading him to a bottom feeder. Edmonton is EXACTLY the kind of team that should pickup Karlsson. Adding him would make them a stronger contender for the cup.

You're cute, you thought I was asking your permission on this trade proposal? LOL. THis site is just to float ideas. You keep making yourself look bad with your lack of knowledge. Newsflash, Nurse isn't on PP1. And the Oilers made final 4 last year, and have a legit chance of doing even better this year. They're in their window for the next few years... we'll see if it's wasted. Thanks for coming out.

Sir, you have 0 armchair GM posts... I'd love to hear what you believe would be a legit offer.

SJ will simply not retain that much as per what is reported. Get it down to the 2.5 range then there could possibly be a deal
