Great news for the Sharks. Just as our window starts to open up, poverty franchises will start struggling to keep their stars due to internal budgets.

I’d extend Eklund ASAP before that all
Happens. He may just end up waiting but his price tag may have ultimately gone up 20%.

Yeah he should be offered the Guenther contract as soon as he's eligible.

Does Mitch Marner become a realistic possibility for us?

I hope not. He’s gonna be 28 and Ferris will negotiate like the cap’s already at 110. Besides, we need goalscorers, not playmakers.

We just need talented players. Marner is a superstar without much of an injury history so the typical aging curve concerns don't really apply.

13M will be today's equivalent of 10M by the time we need to pay Celebrini and Smith.

Sure but we’ll be paying Marner the equivalent of 10 for a guy who’s 32 or so. If we’re gonna spend I’d rather it be on a different superstar. I also don’t think he would be interested in coming here knowing he’ll be wasting at least the next 3 seasons on a loser.
