Speculation: 2022-23 Sharks Roster Discussion Part II

[BigFatCat999]

You aren’t getting the only decent piece we got for our franchise forward, f*** off with that.

Just curious, ALOT of smoke about NSH and SJ.

I have no doubt that Fabbro to SJ will happen, I’m saying I’d be apoplectic if we traded the best piece from the Meier trade for him. Fabbro is nothing special.

What really doesn't make sense about Fabbro or Greenway is: why before the deadline? We making a playoff push? Partial rebuild doesn't mean we need to go out of our way to sabotage our draft odds lol

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I think next year we look like:

Eklund-Hertl-Kunin
Barabanov-Couture-Zetterlund
Gregor-Sturm-Bordeleau
Eyssimont-Lorentz-Lindblom

Ferraro-Fabbro
Muhkamadulin-Benning
Vlasic-Mcdonald

Kahkonen
Free Agent

Assuming Karlsson is dealt at the draft, Labanc is traded for Fabbro, and no other significant signing is made. And we don't get Bedard/Fantilli

I'd hope we get paid to take Greenway. MIN needs the cap flexibility

That's another lottery pick, which is good....

I can’t imagine Couture who by all accounts desperately wants a cup win would want to stay much longer. Wonder what we could get for him at the draft

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Trade Couture to Carolina

The good thing is that contending teams have great players, and Logan definitely needs to play with another great player at this point in his career. He's done alright with Barabanov, imagine what he could do with Necas or Aho, or Crosby.

Agreed, in Carolina I feel like he’d be rejuvenated to back on a winning team and we all know how he is in the playoffs.

 

[Jargon]

While I’m excited about Mukh, we really need to find more high end D prospects. It’s wildly depressing seeing our lineup without Karlsson. I know we’re supposed to be bad, but I’d love to be bad with promising young guys coming up. We have some on offense but outside of Mukh and Havelid, no one on D.

It’s weird to me that there haven’t been any rumors about Couture. He seems like an ideal candidate to trade. I do think Grier is trying to keep some guys in the transition period to help the new guys along but… still.

We have Hertl for awhile to help ease in rookies. Then we have players like Sturm who can take the hard matchups (not saying they wouldn’t get caved in) letting the rookies further ease into the NHL. So yeah seems odd there’s no noise regarding Couture

 

[one2gamble]

Couture's contract will be harder to move than karls

 

[LadyStanley]

 

[Kcoyote3]

Sharks are doomed our prospects have rickets and the earth is going to swallow the Tank whole.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Canes can fit Couture and they need help in the playoffs way more than making the playoffs. Hopefully after Rangers get Kane, Canes get desperate

 

[fasterthanlight]

I feel like Couture at 6.5M is a positive value asset. That's only 1.5M of retention.

 

[Bizz]

Trade Couture to Carolina

Trade Couture to anybody who is willing to take him.

None of us are that naive anymore

IDK man, you and I are at different ends of the "trust Grier" spectrum haha

I guess so. Just seems like a total repeat of Kunin

 

[tiburon12]

Yea, well i definitely don't think we need him, like at all (though I still think the Kunin trade was fine and not worth any brain power to think about). But if MIN is giving Greenway+pick just to get his 3M off the books, the Sharks should definitely be kicking tires.

I agree, but I dont think we are talking about that kind of deal here. We had the chance with Zaitsev and didnt do it

True, but there could me a lot of reasons why they didnt do that move, one being they wanted to be the most flexible for the impending Timo trade. Them being at the contract limit was....limiting

 

[TheBeard]

Honestly? Getting everything for this plus what’s looking like one of the big 4 in the draft. Combine that with Bord and Ek and maybe Robins, Coe, Laroque etc and I don’t hate the young nucleus nearly as much as I did coming into the year. This all had to happen but I imagine at some point well start seeing a more positive trajectory.
