Thread: Sharks soft rebuild
I could see why the Rangers pass on Hertl, but I think that's the kind of return he's going to get (first-rounder, solid young player, B-level prospect). Admittedly I'm not that high on Chytil, who I view as more of a future 2nd-liner.

I think Bonino @1 million would be hugely valuable to a cap-strapped team like the Lightning. That's basically the Goodrow trade...

Colorado's window is open NOW. They get a first-line winger @3 million and cut Compher's cap. Newhook is an excellent prospect, but what are the odds he's even better than Meier? Again, Colorado's window is open NOW with Mackinnon's deal expiring.

To me, Burns is still a #1 D-man. Dobson is really good, but this trade would make NYI much better in the short run while hurting them in the long run. It depends on what they think their window is.

I think a lot of NHL GMs would trade Byram for Hertl, no question. If your window is open NOW, you trade futures for a better shot, no question. But there are some GMs who operate on a longer horizon. Keeping Byram gives Colorado a wider, if shallower, window.

You can find success either way, but the only teams since the lockout who've won with the latter approach are the Red Wings and maybe the Bruins.

If the refs make the right call on Zadorov in game 6, there isn't a game 7 to worry about. Anyone can play that game.
