I'm not the one with the blinders on mate. I'll take Burns @4x8 all day every day over Doughty @6x11.

Despite what people who have watched approximately 0 Sharks games say, Burns is still actually good and an above replacement-level player. He has bad games here and there, but he's still solid for his age. Both the eye test and advanced stats back this up.

I'll concede Doughty definitely had a better season last year, but for the last few seasons he's been pretty dreadful considering his contract. Considerably worse than Burns. For a Sharks team who already has a worse Anchor than Doughty in Karlsson, this is terrible for us.

Thread: Dvorak Tuch in Monahan Dube Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>What do you think would need to be added to a Knights deal, I get Tuch is a fan favourite there but numbers wise over the last three seasons Monahan has blown Tuch away in almost every stat category. Even in 5 less games this year Monahan was close to equaling Tuch's production.</div></div>

Tuch is younger, cheaper, and signed for longer term. Monahan isn't really a 1C and hasn't looked great the past couple of years (after a career year in 2018-19). I could see their value being closer to 1-1, considering VGK's need for center and CGY's need for change. But I still don't think VGK does that -- and a lot of fans wouldn't want that either most likely.

If VGK trades Tuch, I think it will be in a deal for a legit 1C like Eichel -- or there just isn't really a point. I don't think a Monahan to VGK deal would require Tuch.

Something like Monahan for Smith, Elvenes, and 2022 1st (maybe another mid round pick for an intradivisional trade tax) makes some sense to me. Smith can be re-signed or flipped for additional assets. Not sure Elvenes is the right prospect, but he looks pretty good in the AHL. CGY can roll a top 6 of Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk // Mangiapane - Backlund - Smith -- and VGK can roll a top 6 of Paccioretty - Monahan - Stone // Marchessault - Karlsson - Tuch. Might end up flipping Monahan/Karlsson.
