Georgiev and Vanecek don’t look good at all and really haven’t all season. At this point I’d be fine waiving both of them and seeing if we can pick up Reimer from Buffalo.
Why stop there? What's Martin Jones been up to these days?

I'm thinking Niemi.Why stop there? What's Martin Jones been up to these days?
I was thinking it could be the 2026 Col 2nd instead. I think it is worth the gamble. I don’t think Thompson is more than a NHL/AHL tweener. Bystedt would be tough to give up but it is worth the chance at what Nemec could become. Jiricek just went for a 1st+2nd+3rd+4th and is not seen as good as Nemec do I don’t think that value is too far off. I actually don’t think NJ does that deal.I like everything except the Nemec trade. I know none of the individual assets are all that valuable but it still feels like too much to give up for a guy who could still easily be a "not even playable in sheltered third pair minutes" level bust.
New Jersey fans overrate their prospects more than most.If you read the NJ fans on here they make it sound like Nemec is basically untouchable.
I really like the idea of the sharks picking him up since he seems to be one of the few young RHD that has all the tools and is potentially available. Obviously you don’t want to see a big overpayment but it’s slim pickings for good young RHD.
