Kings get out of a horrible contract. Sharks don't want a horrible contract. Kaliyev is nice and all, but we'll look elsewhere to shore up talent up front.Why would either team do this?

Did you mix up your EA GM forum with this one?Kings get: Blackwood, Vanecek, SJ 3rd in 25.

No he isn't. And that contract flies in the face of everything we've been fighting to rid ourselves of.Kuemper's contract sucks but he is a better option as a 1A goalie for an ostensibly contending team than a tandem of VV and Blackwood.

Will the Sharks keep both Blackwood and Vanecek? I thought they would trade on of them to make room for Askarov. Kuemper would be the starter while Askarov develops and claims the position. Also, Kurmper’s Salary is not that bad and San Jose will have no problem dealing with it
Askarov's extension doesn't kick in until next season so he'll probably start in the AHL. I assume Vanecek/Blackwood get injured/traded at some point in the year and Askarov knows that's when he'll get his chance. Either one or both will be gone next offseason though.Will the Sharks keep both Blackwood and Vanecek? I thought they would trade on of them to make room for Askarov.

They probably keep both. If Askarov earns an NHL spot, they will waive Vanecek and assign him to the Barracuda. He'll remain there until Blackwood gets rented at the deadline to a competing team looking for a backup then get recalled to finish as Askarov's backup. Otherwise, Askarov gets assigned to the Barracuda and starts there until the same thing occurs where Blackwood probably gets dealt at the deadline and Askarov comes up to platoon with Vanecek. There's no need to trade for Kuemper who has a 10 team no-trade list that probably includes the Sharks on it. They can handle the contract but there's no way that the Sharks fork over the pick to make this happen. The Kings will need to fork over a 1st to offload that contract currently but they have no reason to do that. They can run with him for a year to see if he bounces back and eat a year then reassess.Will the Sharks keep both Blackwood and Vanecek?

I’d honestly rather they extend Blackwood for another couple seasons (if he wanted). He’s only 27 and I’d like to see some kind of a 1a 1b situation the way Boston ran with Swayman and Ullmark.They probably keep both.

It's a sign that everyone really needs hockeyI don't get this trad at all...
It serves no real purpose
Maybe. I think we'll need to see how the year plays out and see what it looks like closer to the trade deadline.I’d honestly rather they extend Blackwood for another couple seasons (if he wanted).
