Thread: SJ Keep EK65 Sign Matthews Pesce Wilson in 2024 Buyout Vlasic Trade for Askarov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>It was a high asking price for one of those picks, but Askarov + 15thOA and 24thOA is a lot to give up. He is NSH's future in goal and the fact that Trotz was openly selling him for that pick says a lot. That was the asking price for Askarov, but since that isn't there anymore it will take a lot more than what was presented here to move him, especially to San Jose. As Ennis stated earlier, I'm certain that Trotz would still entertain offers, but the asking price will likely still be insane.</div></div>
To be fair, Weisblatt isn't a throwaway piece either. I know his stock has been down but just last week he was the standout player in the development camp scrimmage (behind only Musty). I agree the offer's on the low end, but it's not by much. I think maybe adding the NJD 2nd/1st to Bordeleau and Weisblatt gets it done. Sharks have a surplus of RH-forwards in the AHL so he's expendable in that sense, as is Bordeleau given Smith+Bystedt if SJ targets a top center in free agency next year. Askarov's going to wait a long time to be the future in NSH and I think this trade is fair and makes sense for all sides.

I can see this Bordeleau Askarov swap. NSH is reportedly entertaining offers for him (whether they should or not is a separate discussion). If Bordeleau doesn't (or even hasn't) impressed with Grier -- he wasn't his pick -- and/or doesnt' make the jump to the NHL quickly, Grier can sign one of Lindholm/Matthews (Patty+Jumbo+a young up and coming team+maybe some roots in the bay area can lure him) and also have Hertl+Couture below them at center with Smith+Bystedt coming in soon. They have no clear goalie of the future though. It's a fair trade I think that makes a lot of sense for SJ and a trade I think NSH considers and could take.
