Thread: New York Islanders signed Pierre Engvall (7 Years / $3,000,000 AAV)

Engvall proved to be a great fit for the Islanders' mid-6 and honestly, he's been more impactful for them than Horvat. I would've stuck to 3-4 years if I was Lou but I really don't think this contract is nearly as bad for them as some are saying on this thread.

Thread: Comparing to My Mock and Grading Real World Results

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>Appreciate the thought and effort into this!

Molendyk is a bit of a reach, but he's a very good skater. My guess is Trotz wanted more mobile defenders on the back end, and he could eventually get mentored by Josi. His offensive game needs work but the upside is there. Gonna be exciting to see how him and Wood pan out.</div></div>

Thanks! Makes sense they would want a mobile defenseman and one thing Nashville does very well is in developing defensemen at the NHL level. I do think getting their forward situation should've been their #1 priority but I could be proven wrong in my assessment. Regardless, it's gonna be fun to see how guys that are projects and reaches in this class turn out in the coming years.

Thread: Without Me

Yeah I just don't see any of these trades happening. We won't trade down even for a guy like Sandin in return and #8, since we need Top-line centers on our team. The toronto trade does look tempting, though I don't see us retaining more than $4M. Perhaps that and swap McMann, Niemela, and the depth picks for 2024 1st then it may be something to consider. It would be awesome to get Pickles off the books, but I don't see him or his dogs waiving their NMC for a college dorm in Tempe.

10/10 lyrics though. Would listen again.

Thread: NSH has called San Jose about 4th OVR Per Lebrun

I highly doubt we're trading down from #4. We need a top-line center prospect yesterday, so I really don't see Mike giving up whoever is left tween Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith.

We've also had really, REALLY bad luck (and development) with goalies so even if Askarov joins the Sharks in a trade like this, I don't see how our team is not going to **** things up with him. I'd strongly advise against this trade.

Thread: (NJD/SJS) - Blackwood for 2023 6th (SJS)

I don't know if Blackwood is going to return to form, but for the Sharks this is a low-risk high-reward trade. He'll most certainly be signed on a prove-it deal that'll take him to UFA and he will hopefully get Kahkonen to step his game up. Good trade Mike.

Thread: (WPG/LAK) - Dubois for Iafallo, Kupari, Vilardi, 2024 2nd (MTL)

Holy smokes, the Jets took Blake to the cleaners on this one. Kings lose Villardi and Iafallo plus a 2nd rounder in a deep draft... for a locker room cancer who quits on teams. And said cancer is now on the hook for 8.5M for 8 years. Jesus ****ing Christ, this is a terrible trade for the kings.

Thread: Jackets making things happen at the draft

WTF? Why would the Sharks trade down from the #4, especially since Carlsson or Smith would fit perfectly with Mike's vision for the team? I got love for Sillinger, but the Sharks will simply take whoever ANA and CBJ doesn't pick tween Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith. They should not under any circumstances accept a trade <em>down</em> for this year's draft.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 25, 2023 at 1:25 a.m.

Thread: it never ends

I personally would take that Kunin trade if I was the Sharks' GM. Knowing Mike's love for physical guys who are big and/or gritty, I'm not sure he will be on board though.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 10, 2023 at 7:13 p.m.

Thread: Get rid of laziness

Sharks would take that, though I don't think Dubas will keep his job long enough for this trade to happen hahaha

Thread: Last Minute Moves in Last 24 Hours

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blacktown</b></div><div>Sounds like Khudobin is heading to Chicago with a 2nd for Domi</div></div>

That's quite the pickup for the Stars. Taking on bad contracts that will, well, be out of contract this or next year was a strategy for this ACGM so I guess that's one proposed trade that won't happen. Still think they'd be a good fit for Bonino or Reimer; Oettinger needs backup support and the Stars could use a depth center to help close games out.

Thread: Last Minute Moves in Last 24 Hours

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Hextall has been pretty clear that the 1st isnt going anywhere. If you change it for a 2nd and maybe an extra asset, we would do it.</div></div>

Fair enough. Not sure Hextall is the smartest GM in the room this season, but a 2nd plus a prospect in lieu of a first may be good enough depending on the prospect you have in mind.

I just know Pens are in a hell of a fight to stay in the playoff hunt, and Crosby had praised Barbie's game. He would be the perfect fit for your 2nd or 3rd line and he's one of our few bright spots so we'd happily play ball so long as your team puts up a competitive offer.

Thread: (ARI/OTT) - Chychrun for 1st, 2nd, 2nd

Chychrun is free at last. No more college dorms, no more tanking pain. He's gonna have a blast playing with Chabot and Zub.

Dorion got one hell of a deal too. Really like this for the Sens, so it's an easy win for them.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 1, 2023 at 5:37 p.m.

Thread: My Dorion Deadline Prediction

You sure Dorion wouldn't want to add more to his team? I mean, Sharks accept and the trades here are realistic, but I do think they'd show more ambition considering the young talent they have and the fact they're still in the hunt for a playoffs appearance.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 1, 2023 at 5:36 p.m.

Thread: Few moves left

A Bonino for a 3rd or 4th round draft pick, sure. But this package isn't enough for us considering we have to take on a cap dump in Reilly. We also have a logjam in LD now as well so while the Sharks could take on a bad contract for picks, Reilly wouldn't make sense.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 1, 2023 at 5:33 p.m.

Thread: My TDL Moves

Gambrell didn't work out with the Sharks, so you can keep him. As for the rest of the package, that's more quantity than quality but we need the draft capital for our rebuild. While I'm not sure if I would accept or not given C-level prospects, I got a feeling Mike would take that for the draft picks.

Thread: (ARI/CAR) - Gostisbehere for 3rd

I guess any comp is good comp considering Ghost was a cap dump from Philadelphia when he joined Arizona. That said, Arizona should've gotten more for Ghost such as a late 1st round pick or a 2nd and a roster player. Seriously good business for the Canes.

Paying a 1st and a 2nd for a D that shouldn't get more than what Carolina paid for Ghost? AND he's injured?! My god, I'm dying from laughter here

Thread: (LAK/CBJ) - 1st, Quick for Gavrikov, Korpisalo

I see Rob Blake is cosplaying as a Golden Knight with this backstab. LA does get the better assets, but was it worth burning a bridge with the fans and poisoning the locker room? I think not as a neutral.

Thread: Win now

I prefer Kulich over Rosen, but that's more of a nitpick. All in all, this is a solid trade and I think the Sharks would accept if the Sabres are looking to add Timo to the mix.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>I'd build on that Pens trade. What if you added Blueger + 3rd for Sturm?</div></div>

Sturm's been fantastic for us, so I'm a bit hesitant to let him go this soon. Still, I think that could be doable. We need draft picks badly, and Sturm has proven to play well in playoff hockey.

Thread: Go for it

If you want a Timo trade to work, swap Voit with Knies. But even then, I think Buffalo and New Jersey are more realistic destinations, as they can offer the Sharks more enticing prospects.
