<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>Sharks are going to get into a weird situation.

Completely agree, and the fact that Sharks fans magically think that they can trade Karlsson who makes more then $10m to a contender (of which all are to the cap or close to it) and not expect to take on any cap in return, but instead get the entire farm of prospects, 6 first and second round picks and then some. It’s just not gonna happen. When the trade rolls in, they’ll learn it the hard way though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>I like it. Roslovic is a good option for 3C. Good to get more youth in the lineup. The only thing is I personally am not super confident Nylander would hold up in the top 6. But I would be very happy with this lineup to start the season. It's definitely a playoff team. My thoughts are just focus on making it a sure playoff team now then at the deadline make the changes to make it a contender. A top 6 or third line wing upgrade is for sure something we can do at deadline. Overall though I really like this team. Fingers crossed for a Karlsson trade today</div></div>

Hopeful as ever that the deal gets done for him, and I think in response to your comment on Nylander, I think his upside is top 6 or middle 6 winger simply because of what he is capable of doing on the offensive side of the puck. Though the defense is lackluster so putting him on a line with Malkin may not be the smartest move. But if you want to keep Malkin producing for an extra year or 2 then he should do that with more then enough offensive fire power around him and guys that he can trust that will get back for him.

Also I’ve been thinking of the deadline lately and one thing that concerns me that it seems no one has brought up is, how the HELL are we going to be able to make a significant move at the deadline when we are going into the season with no money to spare. Sure you can bank in LTIR and guys being injured but if we are rolling and we are in say 2nd and 3rd in the Metro and have a healthy team going for us, then I can’t see how we are going to be able to add any more cap space on to the roster? And it’s not like we are going to have an extra $1m or a number we can work with. We are literally going to be TO THE CAP HIT. That’s just my concerns for the tdl atm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Maybe EK doesn’t end up fetching much but outside of that first there’s not much in that offer. Mostly meh pieces or cap dumps</div></div>

A above average backup goalie on a cheap contract, a top 4 veteran defenseman for their rebuild going the other way in Petry, a serviceable bottom 4dman in Rutta, a young defenseman with upside and potential to still be had.

All are quality pieces and assets that fit San Jose’s agenda. None of those players are “cap dumps” per say *IN THIS TRADE* and when you’re trading for a guy making north of $10m there just has to be enough cap going back the other way one way or another. Petry probably has more value in this trade then some if not most speculate.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>I'm completely fine with Smith on the bottom pair. I think ideally he's with someone other than Friedman, but there's options there. Ruhwedle could work until TDL.

Karlsson trade looks good to me, think it might end up being very similar to that.

Not a huge fan of Olofsson, ideally we can get a 3C with that money, but he would certainly be an upgrade over what we have right now in bottom 6.

This is just pure speculation, but from Carter's pov if he's not in the lineup the first half of the season, it's possible he would want to waive at deadline and go to a team in the playoff hunt at half retained maybe. Unfortunately he will probably get a roster spot just because it seems like Sully is intent on keeping him in lineup</div></div>

Fair on the 3C point, was thinking Roslovic would cost about the same price and probably serve a more valuable role on the team.

Yea man Carter is holding us back from so much potential with that extra $3m to spare. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens but I do think there has to be some sort of plan in place to at least try to do something with that $3m or build around it if he’s on the roster.
