Thread: (CAR/SJS) - Lorentz, Mäkiniemi and conditional 2023 3rd rd pick for Burns, Pederson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jamnjon</b></div><div>I was very happy the team didn't buy out Vlasic. I would much rather have his contract off the books sooner than save more in a meaningless season. Vlasic being there also helps in the Sharks' campaign to Tank Hard for Bedard, whereas Burns actually had some positive value. I would absolutely have preferred a better pick/prospect in return, but I think the Sharks were desperate to get some cap flexibility and that might be the best they were able to find.



The trade from 11 to 27, 34, and 45 was a good value trade. That being said, aside from Havelid at 45, I'm not super happy with who they took with those picks. I'd argue that trade was the most logical move he's made since becoming GM.</div></div>

If the goal is cap flexibility then they should have bought out Vlasic and saved $6.75M. They could plug his spot with some younger players to get some experience. The additional cap penalty of $1.69M that starts in 2026 is peanuts as the cap will go up significantly by then.

If the Sharks wanted to trade Burns, they'd be dealing from a better position of strength if they bought out Vlasic first, since other GMs wouldn't see them as desperate for cap flexibility.

Third: the nhl investigated the gambling on games, not the rest, and after the Beach stuff do you really trust their investigations anyway? Come on now don't be silly.</div></div>

If it's a false statement then it's libel. What makes you think I don't understand that term?

"Evander Kane denied abusing his estranged wife after the claim became public and <strong>in a recently concluded investigation, the NHL said that allegations of domestic violence made by Anna Kane could not be substantiated</strong>."

*Clears throat* lol please stop replying

I can see you're emotionally too far-gone already (given the "shred of decency" line), but hasn't this already been investigated and nothing came of it?
