Gogolev is a good shooter and not much else. More of a wait by the blueline type, hope to get the puck on a breakaway and score. At least in juniors. Had seen him in his draft year and liked him just because he's got great finishing ability, but to be honest haven't seen much since he's moved around levels.
He might, but given his family, he may restrict the options somewhat. But it won't be a 3 team list, rather if 12 teams likely to make play offs, he may eliminate 3-4 teams from that list.
I guess it depends on what the offer was. If it was, like, another wacky conditional 3rd contingent on yet another team making a conference final then I'd pass.
I mean, we laugh about the price of someone like Fabbro and he's undoubtedly better than Ferraro, so that's probably what I'd expect. If I'm a fan of another team I certainly would be pissed if my team traded more than a 3rd for Ferraro, especially with that contract. I would certainly do a Ferraro-Fabbro swap in the offseason though.
The only offers I would decline are those that involve a worse contract coming back provided that there's no additional compensation for doing so. If a team forked over a conditional 3rd round pick, I would've taken it. Not that the pick is super valuable or anything but moving 3 mil more in cap when we have a good chance that someone like Muk or Thrun may need a lineup spot is just good planning for the future when the other lineup options are Knyzhov (who we need to keep playing to see if he can hack it and is still cheap) and Vlasic (who we're not going to get rid of except through a buyout which won't be a good idea almost regardless of the direction and timeline the team will have).
He is two years older so I doubt it. I'd pencil him and Okhotiuk into the lineup for next season. Not sure what spots they're going to fill from the likes of Vlasic, Ferraro, and Knyzhov on the left side, but I'd imagine they're in the big leagues next year.
I like it. Much shittier dmen have been traded for a 1st, cause "grit".
So Ferarro is going to be here for a few more years then.
That is not the word I'd use, but it is understandable.
I guess it makes sense with the Gavrikov rumors this deadline but that is a rich price. I think I'd be okay with like a 2nd+3rd/4th.
I like that that's the asking price. I just would've preferred if he settled on a 2nd round pick and made it happen sooner rather than later. lol
Do they really need to though? Ferraro is what a 4D max if he figures it out? Which is a big if. Sharks have Thrun, Mukhamadullin, Okhotiuk, Knyzhov, Cicek who all could probably take Ferraro’s spot today and then guys like Furlong who is probably a long term fit around the same level. Sharks have plenty of 2nd/3rd pair potential LD. They really don’t need more. Honestly I’d move Simek and Ferraro both for picks today. Hell throw McDonald in that too. Roll with Knzyhov, Vlasic, Thrun down the left side today.
You are greatly underestimating what it takes to be a regular NHLer, and vastly overrating picks/prospects.
It’s not like Ferraro should be a regular NHLer. He’s f***ing awful. You are greatly overestimating Ferraro’s ability.
