If Zetterlund really likes it here just go 8x$4.5. Gives him $36 million and keeps his cap hit down.
Who is trading us a quality top-4 defenseman in an age range and price point that makes sense for us for Zetterlund?Because Zetterlund'ss value is in the next 4-5 years and this team isn't likely to be contending until he's 28/29.
This year the Sharks are going to likely be a bottom 3 team and even if they draft someone like Hensler or Schaefer they aren't going to be ready for 2-3 years.
Replacing 35-40 point Middle 6 players is easier than trying to find top 4 quality d-men.
I'm not sure that there is that sort of player available and I'd like to keep Zetterlund as long as that is the case. I don't think I care much about what Zetterlund's extension looks like. I think he can be a solid contributor for a long time at around 4-5 mil per. And at that sort of rate, I think he can be tradeable for a piece we need or if we develop a surplus of wingers during his term.Who is trading us a quality top-4 defenseman in an age range and price point that makes sense for us for Zetterlund?
This is exactly how it's going to go. No team is built 100% through the draft, and as fun as it is to dream about a contending roster of just Sharks' draftees, it's just not going to happen.Yea this team might have to pick up defense as we go with futures like Wilson did ala Rivet, Campbell, Blake, Boyle, Burns, etc
Hopefully this version of the Sharks futures figures it out faster
