Horvat trade is pretty troll

Minnesota doesn’t consider this

That Horvat trade feels like one Poile would make, only to have to buy him out three years later.

You're retaining on one too many guys.

The Sharks aren't going to use their last retention slot and eat almost 2.5m for a 5th. We could just not trade Labanc and still use that slot to get a better pick in a 3-way deal or we could use it on someone like Duclair or Barabanov to make them dirt cheap at the deadline.

If we're making deadline deals to go for it, these don't feel like the right ones, imo. I look at this roster and only think 2nd round of the playoffs at best. Even if they're contending at the deadline, I think they gotta be patient to stick with a long-term plan.
