Thread: Since everyone is trading with SJS - lets clear the air
My five cents from 3000 miles away

1. I would include Bystedt in the untouchables

2. I think Zetterlund could fetch healthy sum at deadline. A 20-goal tank at $1.4m x 2 years…might not get Hagel price but maybe close.

3. Sharks fans would know more than I would…but hard to imagine there is much of a market for Zadina at this point. Every team has their own “projects” but it only works if they come for free. I could see him as a tack-on to another deal…but not much more.

4. Okhotiuk may be useful piece at deadline too…big hitting 6/7 dman at $789,167…could see teams interested there. He is an RFA this summer without Arb rights, so whoever gets him will have him cheaply for one more year at least (at around $813k).

5. The issue with Labanc, Simek, Duclair and Granlund is (a) San Jose has only one retention spot remaining and (b) all have higher actual salary than cap hit (so getting third party to retain may cost more) and (c) Sharks can’t take too many contracts back since they are at 49 (and may want to keep one open for Will Smith at end of NCAA season). So moving them will take some creativity.

Thread: Pinto
I appreciate the effort to balance out the value for the 2nd rounder. The value is probably as high as it'll get for that pick, but I don't think the Jets are interested in Harris. The Jets are already bursting at the seams with fringe left-handed Dmen who deserve to fight for a roster spot. Heinola could play bottom pairing but is stuck behind Stanley and Chisholm because the latter two won't clear waivers. Adding Harris into the mix without being able to utilize him doesn't really help the Jets as an organization. He can play right side, but so can Chisholm and Heinola (Jets management are trying to make Heinola on the right-side happen, personally I can see it if he pairs with Samberg in a couple years).

As for right-handed D prospects, I'm not sure it could work out either tbh. None of the guys the Jets could be interested in (i.e. are better than our current RHD prospects) are on the trade market or near the value of a 2nd rounder.

And then there's the unfortunate fact that ... <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>Pinto hasn't played enough games to be eligible for a offersheet.</div></div>

...which makes all this conversation a moot point anyway. Pesky CBA always getting in the way of our fantasies.
