Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

Word! For some reason I thought Smith was playing center still, and that Wennberg was the 3C. I definitely understand why you wouldn’t want your only real top 9 C’s being teenagers though.

I wouldn’t balk at the price for Kunin, but we don’t have our 2nd or 3rd rounder’s this year due to the absolute heist we pulled on the Oilers for Holloway/Broberg. Plus, he’s a STL kid, so I could see Army being interested in bringing him home.

Yeah, I don't fancy two teenagers as our top-6 centers.

Wow, you really really don't have any 2nd round picks. Toss me a 2026 3rd and 4th and Luke is yours. Grier's price may be higher than that, but what's what feels right to me for Kunin.

Hahaha yeahhh we were throwing our 2nd’s around like candy over the offseason.

Would you guys be interested in Texier in maybe a straight swap? We’re loaded at the wing position, and he hasn’t really gotten as much playing time as we envisioned. I definitely see him being used as a trade chip this week. Maybe there could be something there since Kunin has more use in a fourth line role than Tex does.

Not really interested in projects at this point. Texier is basically the same age as Kunin and isn't an established NHL player.

I get that! Just figured I’d throw it out there since it’d be getting another roster forward in for you guys.

We've actually got plenty of roster forwards... just not very many good ones.
