<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Krahntinuum</b></div><div>Very plausible trade based on what some of the most plugged-in journalists in hockey are reporting, including Elliott Friedman, Frank Seravalli, Bob Stauffer, Jason Gregor, Darren Dreger, and others. Definitely more plugged in than the Sharks fans commenting. Bouchard is the key piece and Bourgault is a blue-chip prospect. Both could be the foundation of the rebuild in SJ.
"At age 23, Erik Karlsson had 37 5v5 points in 1621 TOI (1.37 P/60). That's a very high production rate for a defender at that age. At age 21, Evan Bouchard had 31 5v5 points in 1308 TOI (1.42 P/60)." - NHL_Sid
Could substitute Yamamoto for Puljujarvi if SJ feels they can trade him next year for a pick as he has a year left. My guess is they would prefer to gain the cap space for nothing after this season, or sign Puljujarvi as a project at a lower AAV.</div></div>

For next year, maybe but I feel like it requires too many moving pieces to happen this year. Both teams are up against the cap right now. SJ is trying to trade guys like Meier, Bonino, and Riemer. If they all get moved without a contract coming back (other than the prospects for Meier) then things could be easier. I think though we might see a 6-8 man trade if this is going to happen.

The retention could also be a major obstacle, 18% is really all that should technically need to be retained on Meier. Friedman figures Karlsson needs to come in at the 6s-7s. Zmach did an ACGM that looked pretty good with Karlsson at 7.5m but will they want to retain up to ~35%, who knows. In terms of salary the Sharks would be saving for future years at least, I didn't take into account this year.
