2025 NHL Draft: Lose a ton for Porter Martone

[Cas]

3 7th round picks

That would be very high for Rutta.

 

[Star Platinum]

Not many, but you can always bundle lower picks together and trun them around on another deal? or would you just want to keep those guys?

I would happily trade all 3 for whatever the best offer is, but I don't expect to be offered much.

Brad Stuart's son plays for the NTDP... man I feel old.

How many high picks you think we can get for Kunin, Sturm, and Rutta?

Depends on how injuries go for other teams.

Sturm has value as a face off wizard, which could inflate his value immensely. Kunin has 4th liner value. Rutta is 6/8th defenseman.

Considering stuart was only in his early 20's when i joined the sharks wagon with his departure and i was also early 20's yup very old.

Play like your most of your defensemen are worse than Luca Sbisa for Michael Misa.

Pithy and accurate. First tag line I've seen in this whole thread I can get behind.

Very nice. Best part is Sbisa works for the Sharks now.

Everything is becoming clear now!

 

[Grinner]

Atone for Martone

Outside of marleau, the player development team is a whos who of i barely made a play my entire career.

The question is, can you get behind Misa at 1OV? Statistically, his profile is arguably the best of the big 4. But feels like people hold him in a lower regard than the other 3.

At 1OA? No. At 3OA, where we are statistically most likely to land? Absolutely.

Sharks UFA's after this season: Granlund, Kunin, Sturm, Rutta, Ceci. I say deal them all for high picks in the next 2-3 years drafts, and/or prospects, and/or strategic player targets.

Almost forgot the goalies, UFA's Blackwood and Vanicek

I feel like the way Macklin is playing, and the signs that Smith and Askarov are showing mean you have to keep Granlund (assuming he is willing to resign).

Whether or not the team will actually be good enough to push for a playoff spot next year, I feel like you have to embrace the positive momentum those guys are bringing. Plus, Cagnoni and Dickinson have a solid chance to be in the lineup next year.

Trading Granlund feels like you are telling the kids and future core guys, who are already starting to carry the team "you aren't allowed to win, yet, stop it" which I don't think is a message you want to send.

What are the chances we get Schaefer without the lottery win? Feels like Chicago could go either way with him or another forward to give Bedard some much needed help. Not sure about the other bottom dwellers.

50/50, we either get him or don't.

... Play Badly for Matty?
Bad Play-fer Matt Schaefer?

Suck for Schaefer is a bit pedestrian but might be the kind of slogan that wins elections

Break like a wafer, Draft Matt Schaefer

As of right now? Certainly possible. Hagens, Martone, and Schaefer are all viable choices at 1st overall right now, and while I have yet to see a list with Misa 1st overall, I've seen plenty of him at 2nd and he could still have another gear.
