Thread: Drouin to the Sharks - Deadline Deal.
Unlike joe above me I think this is a fair deal. Drouin's value has gone down significantly over the past 1-2 years and Tampa is dealing from a point of weakness by openly shopping Drouin. I don't think Drouin is worth more than Ladd who went for Dano (slightly higher value than goldobin) and a late first round pick (roughly the same value as mueller) . Maybe you could add a player like Helewka if anything but I think it's very close to an even trade and should be excepted if Tampa doesn't receive any better options.

However, like Joe I'm not particularly excited about Drouin on the Sharks. I don't like his attitude and don't think he would fit in well with the Sharks system. We already have a player with a similar skill set that needs to work on his defensive game in goldobin but at least goldobin has a better work ethic.

Our defense and goaltending is much improved from that series. Dont forget that in the last two games of the series our D pairings were:

Hannan Demers
Stuart Braun
Irwin Boyle</i></div></div>

That personnel still makes me cringe.

I probably sound like just another Sharks homer saying this but there's no doubt in my mind that the Sharks win that series if Vlasic isn't injured at the very start of Game 5.</i></div></div>

Vlasic was a huge loss and probably the biggest reason we lost the series. I think we would have won if he had Burns and Vlasic on defense the whole series. Another big problem that series was our defense not getting enough pucks to the net to create offense. I guarantee that wouldn't have been a problem if Burns was on the ice. Plus its not like Stuart or Hannan can defend any better than Burns..

This year we have a better defense (with vlasic showing a solid offensive game), our goaltending should be better, our bottom six is better, and pavelski is our captain. All reasons to be excited about the playoffs this year. :D</i></div></div>

If you guys can add a player such as laad, you guys will have a legitimate shot at the cup. Even without laad you have a very respectable team. It's just that the west is so damn good</i></div></div>

I just dont think its worth jeopardizing our future for a rental player in ladd.. especially when our offense already has chemistry and is among the top 5 in the league. i think meier will be ready to make the team next year is more valuable to the team. I might be willing to offer Mueller and any prospect drafted in the 2nd round or lower (except roy)
