penguins aren't taking that anderson contract. They got 2 goal crashers in DOC and Bunting. Why they need a 3rd with a high cap hit for 3 years.

Zetterlund had a 40pts season on a depleted Sharks team with 1st line minutes and PP. I like him as a 3rd liner RW which is what we need but let's not pretend he's worth 2 x 1st and a A prospect.

IMO Barron is already an overpay. Might not move him as you need NHL caliber players but yeah he ain't untouchable.

43 points on the 2nd lowest scoring team isn't bad at all, especially for someone playing his 2nd full NHL season. He's a bit of a late bloomer, being 24 already but he's a cheap young forward that can score 20 goals on a bad team, sure he may not produce as well in a lesser role, but he's more important to the sharks than that trade package would be.

When you can trade a youngish 20 goal scorer for a 22y/o who hasn’t quite stuck in NHL yet and wont be more than a 5/6 guy and you have a clogged blue line you gotta do it.

are you suggesting this is good for San Jose or am I misunderstanding what you mean? I see the benefit for Montreal 100%, but I don't get the incentive for San Jose to make this move

There is no, its sarcasm because its value is way off and the main piece coming back is one the sharks already have x100. I also want to clarify that I never said the return for Zett would be a 1++. If he’s plays at the same pace and someone wants to trade for him. That’s a RFA 20 goal scorer x2 making under 2million and team control. He’s also a profile the sharks really really like. that means if he is gonna move it’s gonna be an over pay. You chose to take overpay as meaning 1st++ I didn’t say that @headhack

gotcha, that's what I was saying too, he'd cost more than the stats would suggest because he's young and on a team that needs pretty much everything rn, they won't trade him unless they feel they're getting a really good deal, and Barron is not that

I get it I'm exaggerating of course but even assuming that he's worth a 1st is far fetched but I could see it happening in the future. However this type of player on a contender is a 3rd line winger that's probably in the 30-40 range similar to Duclair who just fetched 2 x 3rd rounders at the TDL.

Duclair similar type of player however not the same contract situation with control, however available on the market just to name him... Hence trading Barron for Zetterlund (25 this summer) value wise isn't far fetched as you're portraying it to be.

He is good but A 5,9 player 33 years old guys on a rebuilding small team who’s probably drop 65 pts to 55 to 45 sonner than later is just not a fit.
Don’t want Norris Karlsson too and don’t want Ulmark Vézina.

I get what your saying for size but Stamkos is actually older then Marchessault so no need to bring that as an argument . Stamkos won't get an 100pts season and is likey also to fall off.

Would I prefer a bigger body like Stamkos? Yeah definitely but I'm not willing to spend 8-9.5M for the next 3-5 years

I'm 100 % on board to get bigger, draft Lindstrom and go trade for size for someone like Lawson Crouse or similar build. However we need goal scoring on the wings for Dach and Marchessault for 3 year fits that role

But these are montreal's low picks, Fringe players and cap dumps. All the US team are calling Hughes daily to bid on them

I would disagree quite a bit. Duclair and Zetterlund put up similar points totals but they play very differently. Zett is more in line with typical be big and hit hockey guys. I also never said he was worth a first that was you again. Barron and Zetterlund have quite a gap in value. Zetterlund is already a proven NHLer, and Barron is not demonstrably better than the RD we already have in Ruuta Burroughs Benning Emberson or Thompson. We just dont need a player like him and certainly not as the main piece coming back in a trade for Zetterlund. The value isnt close.

You’re right for the age. Stamkos is not going to be better too. Maybe I’m just biaised by the aura of Stamkos in my head he is juste so much ahead of Marchessault.
But honestly the 9-10 millions , I’m for that style of overpay if it’s a huge player that’s gonna help turn the corner. But if he wants more than 2-3 years clearly not.

Yah I just don't want to do like the Penguins and overpay for aura and end up paying Letang till he's 41 7M per year.

Also, I don't see Stamkos wanting to come to MTL but Marchessault probably would. Only time will tell but we definitely need a 2nd line RW, Stamkos C and Dach RW would be nice even if I prefer having Dach at C long term

So Zetterlund isn't worth a 1st
Barron value is still a high 2nd

But you're saying the value isn't close ? Maybe you don't personally want Barron and that's fine but you shouldn't be saying the value is off (adding Ylonen also btw that still has some limited value)

What would be a fair ask then ?

Barron is not worth a second. Who in the league is going to give you a second for Barron when he wont even crack your line up next season?
