<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ckilpatrick1</b></div><div>Sharks fan - Don't disagree with you on the payment for Duclair and Ferraro but both last year and so far this year thats what its going to take to move anyone at the deadline. + you cant retain for only 1 year it needs to be the entirety of the contract so for us to use our last retention spot on Ferraro it will take a lot more than to send him to some other organization and have them retain, + it will take more to retain Ferraro and Duclair for 3 5th rounders as if you retain on Ferraro it will be for 3 seasons.</div></div>

Also a sharks fan, and I agree. I just hope they end up with a good return for duclair and maybe even re-sign ferraro to take up vlassic's spot (his play style not his play) when he retires. I don't want a 5 year rebuild they need roster guys with upside for the long term and either guy can be that potentially. In terms of salary retention that's up to Shanahan and Treliving, Grier has all the leverage when it comes to that and if he doesn't want to he shouldn't.

Thread: Shannahanigans
TORONTO: Gets rid of Timothy Liljegren who has not performed to a certain standard that the leafs had hoped from him. He has been part of this organization for 7 years now and has not delivered the quality the leafs were expecting from him when they drafted him. Toronto trades Robertson as well which would make me upset because I really like Robertson but a blind man can see that the leafs are arming to trade him and any trade they make is roster in roster out. Also lose their first, and honestly, I do not see the leafs trading their first this year. Also 3 fifths for salary retention.
They gain another left handed defence man which they don't really need but Ferraro is the real deal, a solid penalty killing defence man with high defensive IQ and a puck eater. Also Duclair who can fit in any slot they put him in from 1st line to 4th line winger.

SAN JOSE: San Jose loses their number 1 defence man and a top line winger. It sounds like a lot but San Jose is god awful this year. They would likely try to get 2 firsts or a first and a top prospect for both of these players but that is unlikely.
They gain Robertson who I believe has high upside and would fit in nicely with the young core they are bringing up. They get another crack at the failed experiment that is Timothy Liljegren, who in turn gets to boost his ice time and likely gets PP1, Top pair time.

CHICAGO: gets three fifths for a little under 3 mil

Thread: Off The Board EK65 Trade
Very unlikely trade first and foremost.
If Hughes thinks his team is ready to take the next step or will be by next year it might be time to strengthen up that D Core. Hands down Montreal has the worst defensive core in the NHL, back that up with the worst goalies in the league and they just can't go anywhere. With Boston and Tampa aging out of playoff spots and Ottawa and Detroit weaponizing towards a playoff spot Montreal might have to get into the race or risk losing the development of their prospects. EK65 is a great defenseman, some think he's a defensive liability but compared to who is on Montreal he's Jaccob Slavin. Montreal has no forechecking coming from the backend or neutral zone momentum changes, EK excels at both those things. EK on the Canadiens guarantees them an improvement over last season, maybe not playoffs but a serious improvement.

San Jose gains a good defensive prospect in Guhle to hopefully replace the hole Karlsson has left and Hutson is a top prospect. The second is for taking on Anderson's god awful contract (he hasn't hit 50 points in his career ffs). The first is for the 8 million dollars the Sharks will retain over four years.

Thread: Risky Ducks Trade
Risky Trade for both teams involved but here are the pros and cons.

Ducks PROS: You get a solid return for a player who's requested a trade which isn't always the case. You take on Kuz who could help with coming out of the rebuild and is relatively low risk with only 2 years left on his deal. You also get a defenseman with high upside to quarterback your second PP and who can eat up a lot of minutes if needed. Kuempner is also a stanley cup goaltender.

DUCKS CONS: You lose a top 10 goaltender in the league for a fringe top 20 goaltender. You also lose a top prospect in Gaucher.

CAPS PROS: You get top 10 goaltending as well as a prospect who can elevate your incredibly weak prospect pool and has high upside. You also get a somewhat good return for someone who's requested a trade

CAPS CONS: You lose your number 1 center man and don't fill it with anyone else. Backstrom is also getting older so you're looking very weak up the middle. You also lose Sandin who has high upside and couldve replaced Carlson after he retires and now that hole is left open too.


IMO CAPS lose this trade but not by a lot and could be the best both teams get for the players who have requested trades.
