Sharks fan trying to get a sense of Misa vs Schaefer on your board but also a Utah season ticket holder. Utah does not need defense so I doubt they'd be interested in Dobson. We need impact forwards and ideally a 2C that is young and ready to win now. Don't know anything about Nelson but he's big which we also need. Just seems unlikely they make this trade with Dobson being the center piece after acquiring Sergachev and Marino.
I think that we take Schaefer unless SJ or Chicago absolutely blow us out of the water. A new GM coming in and moving the #1 feels unlikely. Hasn't happened for over 20 years
Agree. As fun as it is to debate organizational need, I dont see how you dont just draft BPA and that would be Schaefer unless something changes between now and the draft that has Misa/Schaefer a ? in terms of who is BPA. Really hoping you guys take Misa but happy to get one of the two as a Sharks fan.
He’s “proven” if he’s hit 70 a few times. He’s done it once. He basically had one breakout year and yes, has regressed from that. Potential to get back, but as of right now he’s a tweeter 2/3 with flaws in his game.
Then flip JGP + Col ‘26 1st to ANA for pick 10 to take his brother. Now we’re cooking.
Starts the following year, so in this case 2026, and you have to have all of YOUR OWN picks to make it work. In some cases I believe some teams have traded their own pick but gotten back another team's, has to be their own, and IIRC St. Louis had to trade back for their own pick to be able to do offer sheets last year.
if we are talking 1st rounders in 2026 and 2027 plus a 2nd and 3rd. Yeah, sorry I'm letting him go.
you are right, not taking a bottom half team...and yes, wish Sharks would give us Ekland or McTavish from the Ducks.
This is one of those things where it's no so much about value, but flexibility. A team that deals consecutive firsts along is really hamstringing their near term future - they won't necessarily know what they might need. I think an offer sheet at that level is extremely unlikely. A team that motivated would imo absolutely be more interested in making a trade for Dobson's rights. In the very unlikely hypothetical, I'll take the picks. But I think a team that would do that would already have made a significant offer that would be worth considering.
