Thread: (SJS/VGK) - Hertl, 2025 3rd (SJS), 2027 3rd (SJS) for Edstrom, 2025 1st (VGK)
With the Sharks retaining on Hertl until 2030 for Vegas, a division rival no less, they should 100% be receiving an Eichel-like return here.




When Buffalo gave Vegas just one 3rd round pick and sent Eichel and his entire 10 million dollar cap hit to Vegas, the Sabres got the following:

Alex Tuch
#17 overall pick from 2019 Peyton Krebs
#16 overall pick in 2022
#64 overall pick in 2023




When San Jose gave Vegas two 3rd round picks and sent a salary retained Hertl and a 6.75 million cap hit to Vegas, the Sharks got the following:

#32 overall pick from 2023 David Edstrom
Vegas' 1st round pick for 2025 because Vegas wants to keep their 2024 1st for when the draft happens at the Sphere.




And now, the Sharks can't retain salary on any player until the Summer of 2025.

And they are also only allowed 1 salary retention between the Summer of 2025 and the Summer of 2027.




This is unacceptable for the San Jose Sharks.

They deserve better.

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Sean Monahan (1 Year / $2,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>MTL tries to bring their young guys up to give them a shot, a contract slot is already taken by Monahan... on top of that, it 1.9 mill that MTL still has to pay off if Monahan doesn't play well. You have to expect Monahan to get hurt midway through the year if you want to compete. If you don't want to compete and sell Monahan off at TDL, what message are you sending other FAs?</div></div>

What message are you sending?

"We'll give you a chance to play top 6 minutes and show what you can do and then we'll work to send you somewhere you have a chance to win at the deadline. If things go well, you'll have the chance to prove to a team you're worth signing to a longer, more lucrative deal and perhaps win a Cup while you're at it."

Thread: One mans trash is something something something
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anus_McLeod</b></div><div>It's obviously highly unlikely that the Avs look like this on opening night, but none of these guys are terrible or strictly boom or bust (like Yak). All of them are NHLers who have lost confidence and some scoring touch.

I'd have minimal worries about Mantha, Foote, and Yegor. Gurianov and Puljujarvi could crash and burn, but they can be buried if needed.</div></div>

I dont think Yegor is a reclamation project, but Mantha, Foote, Gurianov, and Puljujarvi all have risks accociated with them imo. Besides Mantha all of the other guys you signed are cheap enough to not have a large impact if they dont work out but at that cap hit I still think there are better UFAs that could be signed that are more reliable. Mantha's 5.7M really limits what they can do at 2C if Newhook/Sharangovich dont step up, I think there are better ways to spend that $
