Yeah, there are no absolute quick fixes for the Sharks. The problem with trading Meier is that it would signify a rebuild - something that Plattner has repeatedly stated he doesn't want. And if/when the Sharks are ready to contend, it's going to cost a lot more for the Sharks to replace that production.

From a salary cap perspective, it makes more sense to ship out Lebanc and Ferraro to cover a huge part of Meier's cap hit if anyone wants them.

I’d hope that Plattner could be convinced that there simply isn’t the core to attempt some sort of retool. I applaud his willingness to spend to the cap, and sign off on long term high commitment contracts, in a lukewarm market for all those year. It genuinely meant something to me that he was willing to back the play for UFA Tavares - but one would hope he could see that this team isn’t a superstar forward or two away from being a contender.

Beyond the miracle acquisition of an entire second line, a complete second pairing, and a solution in net - there is no amounting of squinting that makes this something remotely resembling a competitive roster.

I do NOT like those trade ideas (not from Sheng himself, it should be noted). Much more excited by the ideas thrown out by Corey at the Athletic today regarding deals with the Devils.

Timo is a really appealing option for teams and Grier really has to make sure to leverage the teams looking at him against one another and create a bidding war. If all he gets is a decent prospect and mid-to-low first round pick, the GM honeymoon period will officially be over; a team in the position the Sharks are in absolutely can't blow it in a move like this when you have so many needs.

Agreed I think he went too low on many of these probably for tempering of expectations. I think we will get more than was put in the article

I don't think anyone should be surprised at this. The Sharks have been trying to trade Labanc since before the Kane debacle.

I think the only notable thing is that supposedly if an accurate report, this would be the first time his name is mentioned for trading by Grier. I think.

Meier to NJ has been my prediction for almost a year. I want a 1st a great prospect and a throw in. Get the best return you can MG. As far as Gregor, dude has all of the tools to be a really good player for us. Put it all together #73.

Wasn’t it last year that they were rumored to be looking at Debrusk or Zadina for Labanc?

Sounds vaguely familiar but I don't remember specifics.

I believe this is true but Grier was willing to listen on everyone so I doubt it's the first time he's actually talked about trading Labanc with other teams. Given how the Nieto trade went down, who knows what they'd take back for Labanc given his extra year but if they can do it without adding a worse contract then I'm all for it. Some guys I'd just like to move on from and Labanc and Vlasic are two of those guys.

At this point I'm just expecting Timo Meier to get injured right before he's traded. I hope I'm wrong.

The only interesting trade here is Knies +2023 first + B prospect, and it still feels like 10 other teams can beat that easily. I just dont see him going to the leafs.

I'd prefer Knies to Holtz.
What if it was a 2024 1st vs a B prospect added to the offer?
I'm hoping Buffalo and Montreal have a serious interest

Now that it appears New Jersey is the leader in talks, I think that we should get Holtz and Muk along with the first.
My reasoning is that they’re nearly NHL ready. If we get higher prododcts, we may not get the first. That’s my thought at least.

Holtz + 1st and I hope + someone like Seamus Casey. But the Casey part probably doesnt happen.
