That's part of the problem with the Nylander trade, it gives SJS another headache looking for trade partners, just to get more assets. As for trade partners for Nylander you could go by teams with the least GF last year. So going by that metric ANA, CHI and CBJ fit that criteria. All have at least 4.7 mil in cap space right now. ANA is in division and conference, CHI is in conference and CBJ is out of conference. So going by in / out of conference preference CBJ is best. Out of those three teams CBJ is in win now mode, and looking at the age of their roster, Nylander fits that age bracket well. The problem with them is that they are already a top heavy team, and don't have a lot of tradable contracts to make room for Nylander. Roslovic and Bean look like the best assets to add to the trade. So maybe something like Nylander for Roslovic + 1st and 3rd, or Nylander for Roslovic, Bean and a 1st. Bean looks injury prone so I don't put much value on him.

Thread: Trade Chabot while you can
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>lol a 1st + 4th to dump Joseph's contract who is :

- 1 M$ overpaid based on last season
- underpaid vs 2021-22
- could easily be just as underpaid or paid accordingly for the next 3 seasons, the prime of his career

Sens are also not interested to trade Chabot. No idea what it would take for them to change their mind but this is not it

I agree to disagree. Joseph is overpaid by at least 2 mil. It's not hard to find a forward that can put up 18 points for 800K that you can send back and forth to the AHL. I'll have a look at your thread to see what value you put on Joseph. It seems by your comment that you believe he has positive value. A 1st and a 4th might be high, I just wanted a trade that Chicago fans would accept without complaint. I would say a 2nd and 3rd is closer to the value, but I could see many fans not accepting that deal, I could be wrong. As for trading Chabot there weren't a lot of contracts that had enough salary to move with no trade clauses, and contracts that weren't recently signed. With Sanderson coming up, Chabot fit that criteria the best.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hii</b></div><div>Brannstrom is a very solid player with a lot of upside. You would know that if you watched him skate through teams next year. Also you're not going to be able to get Lablanc off your books without retaining and/or adding a sweetner. He's just not good enough.</div></div>

I'm not the one trying to get rid of Labanc. I understand no one wants him. I would just let him go at the end of his contract this year instead of taking on Joseph's contract. As for Brannstrom, I don't care. He can skate past an entire team, but at the end of the day if he ends a season with 2 goals and 18 points that skill doesn't add up to much. If he's so solid you keep him. And talking about sweeteners, where is the sweetener for taking on Joseph's horrible contract? Let me guess, he is solid too and doesn't need any sugar.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>With AHL performance, you can't look at point totals and say he's not ready until they dominate. This Cuda team was not good, the only impact players were rookies. I watched around 70% of the cuda games and I can confidently say Eklund is beyond ready. If they were to keep him in the AHL, I hope they have him pay a majority of the time at Center though

Also why do you have that impression about Thrun? Have you seen him in interviews? Kid is humble as hell</div></div>

If you say Eklund is ready for the NHL, as in he will put up 40-50 points, then yes he is ready. I want him to put up over 60 and I don't see him doing that this year, hence why I don't think he is ready.

As for Thrun it rubs me the wrong way when teams draft a player and that player doesn't sign with them. It comes off as very selfish and the opposite of a team player. I'll admit I haven't read anything about the circumstances of why Thrun didn't sign with the Quacks. That alone makes me think he is the kind of guy to demand a trade if he doesn't get what he wants. I haven't watched any of his interviews.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jakdonaghy</b></div><div>100% agree. I'd even keep Eklund down until injury or trade opens up a spot or he is absolutely torching the AHL. A great opportunity for the youngsters to bond playing in Cuda in what would hopefully be a winning team. With Thrun as long as they retain his RFA rights at least they could trade him for assets? But it seems like Thrun, Gawanke and Pulli all came to Sharks in hopes of a shot at NHL, which is odd to me because the Sharks already have 7 D men on NHL contracts?</div></div>

I would absolutely send Eklund down. I want to see him at a point per game for a full season in the AHL before he gets called up. The same goes for Mukhamadullin, although I think he is the closest to being ready out of all the prospects. Let Zetterlund and Zadina show use what they can do in the meantime. As with Thrun, yes we could retain his rights. But if he gets mad at being sent down, he seems like the kind of guy who would ask for a trade, and that would ruin his potential value. I would rather keep him in the NHL and happy, so he is more likely to sign and increase his value latter on down the line. As for the other d-man you mentioned SJS love to shuffle their 6-7 d-man. I could see them all playing 10 games or so this season. I don't see it being much of a problem sending Knyzhov and Burroughs down if needed. No one will want their contracts.
