Interested what would Blackwood to Colorado package return. They are in a tough spot in a way that they really don't have a decent starter but are a playoff team. That means Sharks could command a hefty return, if Col gets desperate.

I have one trade in mind that would make sense on paper, but wouldn't make sense with what we are building probably.

Blackwood + Ferraro for Girard + 2nd round pick (or 1st round pick, you never know)

Blackwood 1A goalie, Ferraro takes Girard spot on 2LD. (They already have Makar and Toews taking care of the PP, Ferraro can be a penalty killer)

Girard, undersized defencemen similar to Cagnoni but would by far be out best PP defencemen. He has played his offside to my knowledge, but I could be wrong.
Late 2nd round pick.
Why trade for Girard when we have Cagnoni already dominating the AHL? Less than no interest in him just to block Luca.

The guys I'd move right now is Blackwood, Ferraro, and Kunin. Granlund should stay until the trade deadline unless someone is offering a 1st. Sturm and Ceci should be kept until the deadline and then take what they can for them. I'd much rather set the blue line up to where Walman is playing with Liljegren, Mukhamadullin plays with Thompson, and Cagnoni plays with Thrun or Vlasic if they haven't bought him out for next season. Could swap some of those pairings around if you'd want Liljegren with Mukhamadullin and Thompson with Walman to have a vet with someone with little experience.

Rangers fans on the main board seemed to like my proposal of our '25 2nd, Ferraro and either Musty or Bystedt for K'Andre Miller and Jacob Trouba.

Do that, extend Granlund and Ceci, trade Blackwood, Sturm, Kunin, Rutta for whatever they can fetch at the deadline and we could start next season with this:

Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Granlund-Smith-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Wennberg-Graf
Grundstrom-Bystedt-Dellandrea
Cardwell

Walman-Trouba
Miller-Liljegren
Mukhamadullin-Ceci
Thrun-Thompson

Askarov
Vanecek

Still a very bad team but the defense isn't as embarrassing and more importantly should give Askarov a fighting chance in hopefully his first full season as our #1.

Then Schaefer (if we're lucky enough to draft him) and Dickinson come in for Walman and Trouba in 2026-27. Reinvest Wennberg's $5M into a legit top six forward and we might have a chance to steal a wild card spot in the final year of Mack and Smith's ELCs.
