<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>None the less, I wouldn't move Wallstedt for Hertl 1v1.

I say this as both a Wild fan and as a Sharks fan who loves Hertl. Hertl is <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> getting the best goalie prospect in the world back in a trade when he would strictly be a rental for us.

Even if for a second we entertained the idea of going all in this year, the youth and team we're going to likely have after the deadcap crunch goes away in 3.5 years has every chance of potentially being a dynasty. Trading a likely franchise goalie for 2 months of Hertl is downright insane, and frankly, stupidity at its finest.</div></div>

Respect your position and your input.

TBH, I made this AGM for me. Three of my favorite current Sharks are in rumors, so I came here to entertain those possibilities the way I want. I do not want Hertl to be traded, and I do not think he will be traded, but if he is the only package I want is from MIN.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bias_it_self</b></div><div>Idk, Sheng Peng pointed out that he was practicing on the 5th line. Ik it just a preseason practice, but it’s stuff to consider. Players like Barabanov and Balcers have showed much more gusto and energy then Labanc. They’d probably play with Eklund and Hertl before Labanc. Though that’s just my opinion on what management/coaching might do.</div></div>

He was there because they know who he is, but they still don't really know Barabanov and they definitely don't know Pederson.
Sheng is just generating intrigue; he's a writer, it's ok.

Labanc is getting paid almost $5M, he's not getting put on the 3C. He's a surprisingly good playmaker and he's great on the Power Play. He was misused last year, and he still managed to generate enviable xGF. Being on a line with Hertl and Eklund will be very fruitful for him and us.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>Agreed. I just don't necessarily 100% agree that things aren't mendable -- especially If the investigation comes out in Kane's favor. If that's the case, I still agree that he's most likely traded (especially not having that baggage on his shoulder be nearly as heavy) but I think there's a small chance that he comes back and DW tells the guys who don't want him back to do their job and worry only about what they can control and to do their best at it.</div></div>

Your mouth to Gawd's ears... I want nothing more than for Kane to rehab his life, to reconcile with his family and teammates, and to commit to recovery. But he is so bluntly unconcerned with anything related to a renaissance that I just can't see it happening. I feel like DW took the "suck it up and play to win" approach with the crew already, but he may have reached the point of diminishing returns.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>That's two potentials. If the investigation finds that Kane didn't bet on games, then that goes against his wife's claim and so her other claims that he left his baby without paying for their milk etc. holds much less credence. That would make him tradeable. No reason for other teams to not want him, he just wouldn't be wanted in SJ if what Kurz and others have said regarding teammates wanting him gone is true.</div></div>

#realtalk

I've backed Kaner for years, but his conduct as of late has become a bridge too far no matter what the verdict turns out to be.

Kane will be traded before the szn starts. He will give his new team two solid years before he burns another bridge, after which he will be traded again starting the cycle over. He has never not produced goals no matter where he's gone, thereby proving his value, drama or not.

GMs and owners DO NOT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS. Player feelings, coach feelings, fan feelings... they don't care as long as they can win hockey games. They are billionaires employing employees, not people.
