Proposal: 1st OA for 2nd OA

[gary559]

Islanders can turn around real fast and build a foundation, Sharks need a defenseman not a center.

William Eklund
2nd OA

For
1st OA

 

[Mrfenn92]

Sharks say no

 

[Zirakzigil]

Thats bad for the Sharks

 

[MrLunatik]

How about Parekh and a bit of a plus to San Jose for #2... Sharks get their stud defenseman, we get our potential #1C

As a Sharks fan. I'll pass

While I think the cost of one spot from #2 to #1 would actually be significant (like the add being another late 1st or recent 1st round type prospect)…it certainly wouldn’t be William Eklund level significant.

I have Schaefer #1 with a bullet and the Sharks may be incentivized to try to move up to guarantee him - but essentially Schaefer and Misa (and for me, Hagens) are all similar caliber of prospect…at least close enough that demanding a high-level 22 year-old winger coming off a 60 point season is absurd.

The Sharks will be perfectly happy getting Misa at #2 if that’s the cost.

ok

 

[Michoulicious]

Sharks should just draft Misa.

They have Dickinson already on LD.

Need another C, not sure Smith is 100% a C.

 

[Gecklund]

lol f*** no. We will offer you a few extra picks say DAL 1st and SJS 2nd but not a young top 6 winger. We will gladly just take Misa or Schaefer whichever NYI doesn’t take

I’m intrigued by this. What’s the other plus?

This is what I think will happen.

 

[islesfan3913]

I take that and run as an Isles fan which means Sharks probably say no easily.

 

[MrLunatik]

I think if Parekh was in this years draft (with his 2023-24 performance) he's be in the mix with Misa and Hagens. SO not lots, but I haven't thought much beyond the initial pieces lol

 

[Juxtaposer]

Only took a few hours for Isles fans to get greedy as f***, I see.

Nice try.

I adore Zayne but that's going to be a hard no for me.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Accepted from a NYI perspective.

 

[Jack Spider]

I'm down for a 1st overall trade. I know a dude that plays the violin.

 

[Kshahdoo]

2OA + Chernyshov for 1OA. The Isles get Misa + Chernyshov connection from the CHL, Sharks get their defenseman.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Sharks draft Misa and tell the Islander to shove it lol. The Islanders would be smart to draft Schaefer, deal Dobson off and start a smart and clean rebuild imo.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Dickinson projects similar to Noah Hanifin, not a bonafide 1D. Sharks should just hope NYI prefers one of the centers. If they do take Schaefer then draft BPA.

As for centers, they also have Bystedt and likely another high pick next year.

Misa + Eklund for a Schaefer. You are off your rocker. The gap between those two is no were close to Eklund. And if you don't want a D, draft Misa and let SJ take Schaefer. You'd expect anyone to pay for what? The privilege of selecting first? Maybe you get something like that for 4OA + roster player. Not the 2OA.

 

[Surfer Dude]

What about this as the centerpiece?

Isles: 1st + Dobson
Sharks: 2nd + Eklund +

Sharks can add with guys like Cagnoni or Bystedt or Haltunen and/or picks to sweeten the pot. Sharks get their top pairing of the future and accelerate their rebuild.

This also helps Island go into rebuild with more prospect and let Sharks take the risk on Dobson's next contract.

So we give up Dobson, who is a very valuable piece himself, and drop down to 2OA, and only get Eklund in return?

That's absolutely horrific for the NYI.

Are you familiar with Eklund? The gap between Schaefer and Misa is not Eklund while Dobson needs a large new contract after a down year. Eklund was a #7 pick and is 22 with 60 points on a team with 18 yo as the best center. His ceiling is a 80pt wing top 6 winger based on his age and production.

And yet it's infinitely closer to fair than the OP.

Eklund was a #7 pick and is 22 with 60 points on a team with 18 yo as the best center and he's only used on 2nd PP. His ceiling is a 80pt wing top 6 winger base on his age and production.

Contracts not withstanding, a 50+ point defenseman is much more valuable than an undersized winger considering both players are in their 20s. Just the way it is.
