As much as I love the idea, I don't know if the Sharks have the pieces to make that work. Buffalo wants roster players, not futures and the Sharks don't have any real players of consequence to offer off their roster aside from Ferraro unless you dip into the players that actually look like they have a future with this team like Zetterlund

EDIT: lol, the timestamp on this post says "in a moment". I've posted into the future and can now control space and time!!!!!

Feeling quite confident that we're trading for Nemec at this point. Right or wrong can be debated, but think it's happening.

Feels like they could build a package around Ferraro, 1st, +
Mario gives them a good d man to replace byram and the 1st + gives them ammo to acquire other roster players from different teams
 
Years of being here, and years of the programmers not having any clue or being too cheap to properly prepare for the amount of traffic to the site.

It's an HF tradition.

I like it. Get someone to overpay or keep him for at least another year. We can get a second for him next year.

If I had to guess, it's because we're a hockey site (niche) and because forums are a largely deprecated site style that needs more investment than other things to make it work effectively.

Basically we're not important enough to get the resources we need to sort this out effectively.


And yes, this means I'm back and the only thing I missed was Schenn to the Jets. That's a win for me.

Well, Rants is apparently coming down on his 14 AAV and it looks like the Dallas deal is back to done.

Two complications:

1) If the rumors are that they want a 1st+ for Ferraro, I don't think that the value will line up. Grier will value Ferraro more than other teams and probably expect that Ferraro + mid-tier add should get him Byram. Buffalo will want more than just Ferraro and Grier will be reluctant because he thinks Ferraro is more valuable.

2) The problem isn't that the Sharks don't have assets. It's that they don't have the right kind of assets. Just swapping 1 d-man for another doesn't add to the Sabres enough to solve their needs even if it's a type shift. But the Sharks have little in the way of extra roster pieces that would be worth adding without digging into the parts of the team that Grier likely values as contributors to the eventual ascent. It's not like Ferraro + Kunin + Bordeleau is going to move the needle. Buffalo didn't take backany futures when dealing Cozens, they're not going to want that from the Sharks either.

Patience, grasshopper.

It's an annual tradition where teams hate draft picks at TDL time and sell them like they're meaningless and/or don't want them in return for young players. Then come draft week they're a precious commodity that teams are eager to get their hands onto in trades.

We will be fine this summer armed with the type of draft capital we currently have. If we can add a little more, even better.

I think the likelihood that Ferraro is traded is very low. I think Grier is reluctant to trade him for leadership qualities and just like, that he's now our best defenseman (sobbing). I think unless he's blown away, he'll just keep him and revisit next trade deadline.

I'm expecting:

-Kunin for a 3rd
-A couple of minor deals, AHLers for AHLers, a Gushchin/Bordeleau for a similar underperforming prospect
-Last minute surprise deal that makes us go wait what the f*** how for... let's say a defenseman.
 
Not sure what @ShengPeng is getting at...Brock Nelson went for less than Granlund did, no? I'm not sure any team but Tampa Bay would have paid that much for Gourde and Bjorkstrand...
 
I'm not expecting much at this point. Not much of value that we are willing to part with at this point. I guess I wouldn't be super shocked to see them move one of the prospects for an NHL ready defensive youngster. Even something like Nemec + 1st for Ferraro + Dickinson or something crazy. Either way I'm fine with where we are and more so where we will be after this draft. Shark's are going to be scary for a very long time as soon as this rebuild is over.
