Thread: Sharks Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>to start at the Draft we go D because that's the weak spot in our prospect depth, either Mintuko or Korchinski if they fall.

Simek will be dealt he wants out of San Jose and is unhappy, Labanc will be dangled for a bag of pucks and a Horton's coffee.
Balcers, Nieto, Bonino, and Dahlen are interchangeable and we have too many players/ prospects similar them anyways, I would assume maybe 2 or 3 get traded to free up cap space. Balcers and Dahlen seem most likely as they have the highest value due to upside and youth.
Hill or Reimer get moved, Hill for a 4th/3rd or Reimer for a 2nd plus a prospect seems reasonable.
Burns or Karlsson one of those two most likely get moved and our interim GM already stated they are available and they are listening to offers.

That leaves our needs at a top 6RW goal scorer for Eklund &amp; Couture.
Skilled big winger to protect Bordeleau and for him to feed the puck to.
top 4 LD (unless Knyzhov is really recovered from injury and NHL ready again, though a 1 year rental as insurance wouldn't hurt)
top 4 RD (to replace Burns or Karlsson once/if one is dealt)

But our Biggest need is for Vlasic to get his head out of his rectum and realize he is still a highly paid hockey player and not a spectator and get to work.</div></div>

I really like your plan. It's all logical. I think we go for the best player on the Draft which would be available, no matter defensman or forward.

Thread: Pastrnak to SJ Without Extension Burns to DAL and Malkin on a One Year Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>It's just generally more common for star players to be traded without extensions, for whatever reason(s). I think in this sense, teams that trade for star players sometimes would rather not have them come with extensions, otherwise it'll drive up their price significantly.

Sometimes they'll immediately resign with the team that traded for them (i.e. Lindholm, if we can count him as a star player for the sake of the example), sometimes later (EK65), but they usually resign with the team that traded for them the majority of the time.</div></div>

That's all cool, but do we really need him? I think San Jose has two ways: develop young players in the system and make some point signings OR trade superstar for a superstar (top prospects for a superstar). Bad contracts spoil everything.

Thread: Competitive roster for the 22-23 season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>He was claimed off of waivers in 2021 before the season started and Detroit had the highest waiver priority at that time. If Detroit wanted him they could've had him without giving up any assets. I was just trying to give an accurate description from Detroit's pov and since he was claimed off of waivers I think it works. I wasn't trying to be mean and I'm sorry if it offended you but it is true. Would you rather I use bottom 6 forward? His rels are all below the team average and if he is so good why is he being traded with Simek for a middle of the road prospect and a 7th rd pick? Detroit resigning Dekeyser would be about the same as adding Simek. Detroit doesn't need anymore wingers and RHDs are always in demand. So maybe instead of getting mad about how someone describes one of your players try offering something the other team needs or wants.</div></div>

Guys, you react as if I sent you Vlasic's contract for nothing. I sent a not bad defenseman to Detroit who just lost the competition to the young guys (and has a small salary for 2 years). And also as a sweetener, I added a good role player with a small cap hit and a contract for 1 year, besides he is RFA. I don't see Detroit being great with defensemen to say that. Both of these players will add competition and, most importantly, EXPERIENCE (you emphasize that he is 29). (I want to remind you that Detroit took 2nd place in goals conceded - 310 pucks). You react as if we are forcing this trade. It's just a fantasy.
