<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CB37</b></div><div>I think so too on Acciari, I could handle $2 mill, but that's a lot if he's a healthy scratch. As for Kulich, I love him. I agree on JJ, I don't think he would sit, if Kulich sticks, I would really have JJ in ROC.</div></div>
I think because Peterka is already on the main roster, unless he struggles he’s not getting sent to Rochester over Kulich unless Kulich is on fire. I look at Kulich and I see a young Tage Thompson. He’s built very similarly, and he has that killer shot Thompson always had. I think Thompson‘s development was slow down by being rushed, I wouldn’t want to do that with Kulich, or the other top prospects we have. We have the luxury of having so many and not needing them all right away. Let’s let them grow the way they should and reap the benefits.

Thread: Rebuild offseason part 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>but we don't have enough young guys ready yet and you cant man a whole 23 man roster with 18-23 years olds and not expect to get destroyed.</div></div>

With or without Patches, they're not in a position to compete. Ease the young guys in, I think Gushchin could be ready to make the jump next year. Also wtf is Zetterlund doing on the 4th line?

To be clear I'm not against signing a short term top 6 winger. The issues with Patches are:
1. 35 next year
2. That Cap hit and term is way too high/long
3. Patches want's to win a cup and this guarantees he won't
4. Dealing with a potentially career ending injury
5. The obvious cooch/Patches hate (least concerning thing though)

If Tarasenko ends up in a Klingberg situation, I think he'd be a great fit with Hertl and Barabanov on a one year deal.

I like the first two trades, not so much the last three.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CB37</b></div><div>Kulich isn't going anywhere.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>Neither is Saros</div></div> I do not want to get into a discussion of the value of a GK as we all may have a different perspective.
<a href="/users/EvanderKanesLawyer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@EvanderKanesLawyer</a> I do not think you know how good Kulich is now and will be.
<a href="/users/CB37" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@CB37</a> is correct, Kulich is an 18 yo playing in the AHL and has 15 goals in 43 games.
An 18 yo with 15 goals playing against full grown men is remarkable even if it is the AHL.
Last year as a 17 yo he was playing in the Czech mens league and still managed 14 pts in 49 games.
He has a very high ceiling, would be a great pick up and may be NHL ready next year.
Buffalo wanted to move up in the draft so they could get him and Ostlund.
KA has a horse shoe up his *** and Juri fell into their laps.

So let's agree on two things Buffalo is not trading Kulich and Nashville is not trading Saros.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CB37</b></div><div>I’m neutral on Olof trade, but Kulich would take his spot. I like Greenway, he would take Okposo’s spot next year. I don’t like Ekholm for us, we’re going to have a lot of money tied up in Dahlin &amp; Power. I’d rather get a cheaper Dman. <strong>I agree!</strong></div></div>Who knows if there is a buyer for a left hand goal maker maybe Olofsson returns even more this year!
Next year or the following Nadeau replaces Kyle.
Agree Kulich is on fire in Rochester!<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jwilliams2k12</b></div><div>That Ekholm deal needs to have the pick removed from Nashville and it’s closer to being a good trade but still think Nashville can get more for a Top 4 NHL D with term.

Thread: Sheng Peng Trade Comp
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>I edited my comment to include after your quote

“I’d only guess this is strategically to either somehow get Mercer and a first or when they settle on a lower price point that leads to Holtz.”

Anyways I do appreciate and it is a good move - but it could backfire/ kill NJD as a suitor. And for a proper rebuild to help Eklund and Bords it needs to begin this TDL, Wilson/ Hasso delayed it long enough.

As for Bords and Eklund; I love them and subjectively value them more than Mercer sure. But objectively Mercer is in the NHL right now; and he’s playing incredibly well and is play the game that made him so highly touted (ie hasn’t changed his game or had to be better). He’s just such a energetic player to watch.</div></div>

Sorry I didn't see that! I absolutely agree mercer holds a ton of value, especially for the sharks who don't have a ton of strong skaters. The reason mercer is prolly a deal breaker for the sharks is holtz value seems to have fluctuated a lot this year ie differences in Pronmans U23 list compared to HW drafter prospects list and he seems just as close to being a 3rd line player as a top line player. Add on top of that the sharks would be adding yet another clunky skater to a team that really one has 1 elite skater and two fast players in kaut and gregor. If it is a dealbreaker for NJ then I think/hope the sharks walk away from the deal and look to keep him (MeierHertlEklund) and our cap situation starts to open the year after next or find a different team to trade with.

Thread: Take A Chance Wait
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Still have no goalie, and maybe they move some money to sign one or acquire one via trade. They might make the Playoffs but they probably don't get too far. They like the Oilers through their first 5-6 years with McDavid being in and out of the playoffs (mostly out) or like Vancouver who only made it to the Playoffs in the play-in year despite having a good roster on paper.

If SJ are going to miss even just 2/5 years they might as well tank for this and the next season. The Pacific division is pretty weak but it's only getting stronger, so they might as well prepare by getting as many assets as they can out of Meier and Karlsson. Maybe even look at moving Couture after that.</div></div>

I agree but our cap situation is much better after 23/24 with labanc lindbolm kunin simek all coming off the books. Bordy's development shouldn't have to stall so we can tank again, but I dont think he will have that impact anyways. We can sign any older ufa goalie to a 1/2 year contract so we dont destroy eetu by pencilling him in before he's ready
