Thread: What the Shark Doin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluspy88</b></div><div>I think the reason the idea has been floated about his trade by guys like Friedman is because of what you just said: his contract isn't seen as bad like Karlsson's, so its more moveable. And if you could get a good return (very likely better than what I did), is it worth it?

Point taken on retaining. Its hard to guess because only player I can think of recently that was traded with retention and term was OEL and that was basically a hostage taking.</div></div>

Karlsson was actually very good before his injuries this year, he was close to a point per game and was playing his best hockey since the trade. It's worth it to move Burns if the return helps us and we don't retain a bucket of cash. Burns has a 3 team trade list which can complicate that. Most think he'd accept a trade to LA, Dallas and some other west team. I doubt he'd go east.

The Sharks say they intend to get back to the playoffs next year. The owner won't tank and they're making sure the new GM they hire this summer won't break up the core. Let's see where it goes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluspy88</b></div><div>Thank you for input on the young players. That is really the biggest challenge for me when I do neutral teams, I don't know the prospects well enough. You can scratch the bottom 6 players in that case, that is my mind sort of plugging holes due to lack of infortmation.

As for Burns, I'm not arguing here that he SHOULD be traded nor do I claim to say the return is ideal. Honestly most interested in if the location is a fit, I think on this site we all don't really know what the trade returns will be because GMs are kinda crazy.</div></div>

Ideally Burns stays. Not many sharks fans feel his contract is bad. If we're moving a high priced RHD it should definitely be Karlsson.

Sharks won't be retaining much more than a mil on Burns, he is very much worth his cap hit.
