<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Genuinely ask bc I haven’t watched Sharangovich play too much - is this really a lot to pay for Forsberg? Looking at his numbers he had a good year last year but before that all of his numbers are very pedestrian in all other leagues. I would imagine this is a huge upgrade for next year and with the Devils shaping up really nicely to contend soon, I could easily see Forsberg being pitched to sign long term there.

What are Sharangovich comps long term?</div></div>

Sharangovich is really fun to watch. He's got a WICKED wrister and he's fast. He grew up as a defensive first center and his coaches started telling him to shoot and he had a heater of the year starting in the KHL before coming to the NHL. He's also one of the most loved guys on the team from the fans with his great personality. He earned his way into playing with Jack. I can EASILY see him as a high 20s, low 30s guy in his peak if he's playing top 6, but he might get bumped to 3rd line on no fault of his own, just slotting because of Tatar if he plays with Hughes (Kuokkanen is the boards guy that wins battles), but Sharangovich will give teams without depth fits.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FabulousBob8</b></div><div>Forsberg is 26 and playing the best hockey of his career, while Erat was in his 30's and declining rapidly. JFresh posted Erat's WAR graphs on twitter recently, so take a look if you'd like. i understand the point you're making, but I think it's a fair trade.</div></div>

Well, you made the trade so I would assume you think it is good, but also Sharangovich has a 76% WAR to Forsberg's 85% but also Forsberg is due to be a UFA and Sharangovich is 4 years younger. I would rather work with the younger guy when close.


Last season Sharangovich had 16g 14a for 30pts. Forsberg had 32. Granted Forsberg played fewer games, but I'll take Sharangovich's upside over Forsberg's UFA money on an extension (which I didn't see you mention anywhere but would HAVE to be in a deal like this).

Not a fair trade in my book.
