How to make it a contender after Francis missed out
Even though Vegas set lofty expectations for expansion teams, Seattle shouldn't force themselves to contend right away. Even if they stink for a year or two, they have an opportunity to get either Wright or Bedard in the next 2 drafts, and getting one of those guys along with Beniers down the middle is how you set yourself up for future contention.

Very intriguing day
Not a huge fan of the Adin Hill trade, mostly because I don't agree with the direction the team is headed (trying to compete instead of opting for a rebuild). But I do understand that with everything that's been invested into these big contracts, they have to at least try and fight for the playoffs. What I'd like to see them do now is buy out Jones and then try to sign a vet like Halak to create a 1A-1B tandem.

His underlying numbers are great, just that our coaches (Deboer, Boughner) have been real hard on him and like to move him up and down the lineup if he messes up even slightly. If he had consistent line-mates he's easily a 50-60 point player. On Matthews/Marner's wing it wouldn't even be shocking to see him get to 70.

Ryan Strome is an good offensive player that plays no defense.

So you just witnessed a trade deadline where Kyle Palmieri and Nick Foligno netted first round picks and you think THAT is an overpay for Hertl? Any Hertl trade starts with a 1st and a good prospect.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Because its been asked on here countless times and SJS fans themselves have said that Chytil and a 1st is a fair deal. Hertl is due to be a free agent in a year, I cant imagine that he plans to spend the prime of his career on a trainwreck of a franchise that the Sharks have been... who are also probably going to start a rebuild. So they can either trade him for something or lose him for nothing.</div></div>
The Rangers aren't the only team with the privilege of trading for Hertl. Chytil and a 1st may get the conversation started, but there would be multiple bidders for a player of Hertl's caliber, so if the Rangers want him they'll have to offer more. Hertl has already said he would prefer to stay in San Jose, so the ball is in their court to extend him or trade him. The chance they'll 'lose him for nothing' is next to zero.

The Draft Predictions - Continued Reset
I agree with some of the guys above. I wouldn't take Johnson if Eklund and Edvinsson available. Going defense in this draft does intrigue me though, because the next two drafts are loaded at the top (where we're likely gonna pick) with offensive talent, so getting a defensemen like Edvinsson this year, and pairing that with Wright/Lambert/Savoie next year, and then Bedard/Michkov the year after that might be ideal.

Look around, guys like Palmieri and Foligno are commanding a 1st at least. If that's the case Hertl is worth 2-3 times that. If not Lundell then at least a top 2-3 prospect from your prospect pool, or 2 from your top 5 would have to go the other way.

Sharks Youngster Lineup With 2021 Players and Want for Discussion
If I were to do a Ranking (For just the prospects), it would be:
1. Thomas Bordeleau
I don't think anyone expected this from him. Playing on a powerhouse like Michigan, with guys like Beniers, Johnson, Brisson, etc. and leading them in points is damn impressive. And even more than the points, he LOOKED like the best forward on the team. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I truly believe his ceiling is Brayden Point-like, where everyone's gonna wonder how in the world this guy fell to the 2nd round.
2. Tristen Robins
He was one of the most polarizing prospects in last years draft. He was general ranked as a 2nd round guy, but I know a lot of people had him in the top 20 based on his upside, and right now he's looking more like the top 20 guy. He's been one of the best players in the WHL so far. I would have it: 1. Bedard, 2. Krebs, 3. Guenther and then Robins at 4, and that's quite the list to be part of.
3. Ryan Merkley
Not gonna lie, I've been really disappointed with him, as have most Sharks fans, I'm sure. He still has all the talent, but he really needs to make the leap to the NHL level. Right now a bunch of his peers in the 2018 draft (Ty Smith, K'andre Miller, Rasmus Sandin) are seemingly way ahead of him in terms of development, and he needs to close that gap.
4. Ozzy Wiesblatt
I think this guy has the highest floor of any of the Sharks prospects, other than Bordeleau. He's such a smooth player, and is fantastic in transition. That means even if he doesn't reach the first-line heights we all want him to, he wouldn't look out of place in a top 6 role if he's got skilled linemates around him. He's had a really good start in the WHL as well, and I suspect being the only threat on an otherwise terrible Raiders team is limiting what he can do.
5. Artemi Knyazev
I've always been higher on him than I think most Sharks fans are, but it's for good reason. His offensive upside is insane, he's a good skater, and his defensive game is making strides as well. It wouldn't be shocking at all for me if he overtakes Merkley as the defensive prospect everyone is talking about from the Sharks organization come next year.
6. Daniil Gushchin
Another potential steal from the 2020 draft. Gushchin is having an incredible year in the USHL, with his ppg being at the same level as potential 1st round picks like Sillinger, Lucis, Pastujov and Coronato (granted he is a year ahead of them based on experience). His two-way game was his selling point but he's got a lot of offensive ability. I think it's safe to project him as a scoring third-liner whose a solid defender, but he's very much capable of blowing past that projection.
7. Ivan Chekhovich
This is probably the most frustrating player for me. He tore it up in the QMJHL a couple of years ago, then had a truly awful season in the AHL. Then this year he has an incredible rookie year in the KHL, comparable to some of the best Russian players that have successfully transitioned to the NHL, and now that he's back in the AHL he's a ghost. I say stick him on the 1st line on the Barracuda for the rest of the year, just to figure out once and for all if he has it or not
8. Jonathan Dahlen
Not exactly sure where I should've put him, but I decided to have him lower on the list just because I can't really even call him a prospect anymore. He's ripped the Allsvenskan apart for 2 straight years now, and it's painfully obvious he's on a different level than anyone in that league. He just needs to show he can do the same thing over here, and IMO the time for him is running out. TBH if he doesn't make the Sharks out of camp next year I'm probably out on him.
9. Alexei Melnichuk
I was super excited to get this guy, as a lot of people believed he would be a 1st round pick had he gone the draft route. He was solid in the KHL earlier on in the season, but his run with the Barracuda has been underwhelming, to say the least. He still has a bunch of time to pick up his play, but until then I'm gonna keep him relatively low on this list.
10. Brandon Coe
I really wish we could've been able to see another season of him in the OHL. Being in the bottom 6 on the Barracuda at this point in his career is doing him no favors. I still like his potential though, he's a big guy who knows how to use his body for defensive positioning, and I could definitely see him as a defensive specialist in the bottom 6.
As for the draft, I have different crushes based on where we would pick. If we somehow get into the top 5 I would be banging the table for Dylan Guenther or William Eklund. If we're between 6-10 I would probably want Kent Johnson the most. If we just miss the playoffs and end up 11-15 I'd be ecstatic to land Cole Sillinger, and if we do end up making the playoffs and pick in the late teens/twenties I'd probably look for a guy like Mason McTavish or Zachary L'Heureux.

This list seems like it was solely based on how these guys have played in 2021, which explains why there are so many guys who played in the NCAA on top, since they were the only ones who have played for the whole year. The problem is most of the guys in the CHL have barely played and they are much lower on the list because of it, and that doesn't really make for an accurate ranking.

Hertl part 2 - 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>You're probably right about Newhook having to be included. It's the obvious piece to include, but I don't think Sakic would do it. His ELC is just too valuable to us as a contender. Moving him would also mean that we'd have to resign Hertl or Kadri in 2022 which would be super expensive with Mackinnon and Byram's raises coming up in 2023.
If you prefer Avs can add the 2022 1st as well instead of one of Kaut/Timmins. That would actually work better for Colorado as they could use those cheap ELC contracts now.
Compher might be a bad contract but some money would have to go SJ's way. You could change it to Donskoi if you prefer that.
Hertl ($1.125m retained) for Compher/Donskoi + 2021 1st + 2022 1st + Jost + Timmins/Kaut/Bowers. Feel free t mix it up if you like, everything is on the table except for Newhook.</div></div>
It's tough for the Sharks to be enticed by those picks though because with Hertl I don't see the Avs reaching anything less than the conference final. The Sharks would probably want something more guaranteed (Newhook), or they'd probably go to a team whose picks would be more valuable (like a bubble team that's trying to push for the playoffs)
