Proposal: NYR - SJ again

[eco's bones]

As a Rangers fan I don't think I'd mind for this to happen.....though we'd have to make some cap space. Walman's a pretty decent D and I don't know if I'd value Othmann over Bystedt at all. Filip is a pretty damn good prospect. Honestly I think we would probably have to add.

I'll add this Othmann had a very good first year pro. But a caveat for me as far as his AHL production is too much came on the power play and not enough at even strength. I also don't think he was as close to making the Rangers as some might think. I don't see him having much impact as a 4th line guy. I prefer all of Carrick, Edstrom, Brodzinski, Vesey and even Rempe (who was just sent down) over him as a 4th liner......and probably Berard too. The Rangers 3rd line have been playing fantastic so there really is no spot for him now and barring injury(ies) for this year. I liked Berard's training camp better. That doesn't mean that Brennan isn't a very good prospect but he needs to improve some more. He's a very young player though. Another issue is he's a natural LW on a team deep in LW's.

No thanks from this Sharks fan perspective.
Othman besides being a LW has character flaws. Jones has proven he barely belongs playing in the NHL.

Please elaborate on Othmann. I have been following him since his draft year and have heard no such thing.

Is KAndre Miller available? I think he's RFA soon right? Shouldve drafted him over Merkley sighhhh

Now we're talking. I would pull Miller out of town on a Rikshaw if we could get him out of town before he signs a new overpaid deal.

Issue here is the OP doesn't take the sharks needs into account at all. #1 Sharks do not need cap space. #2 The sharks system depth strength currently is in LW and LHD. That is why sharks fans are against the offer. Sharks needs are top 4 potential RHD and right handed top 6 potential wingers. When it comes to what the sharks are giving up, Walman is one of the pieces that could fetch the sharks a nice piece at this or next deadline and Bystedt is positioned to be the sharks 3C of the future. Can't see the sharks moving those pieces to add to the part of the prospect pool that's already full of high potential talent.

As others have said the Sharks don't need cap space right now. We have no big extensions coming for at least 2 years. Eklund being the only one in 2 years. In addition more bad/dead money will be coming off the books for the next 3 years. Burns, Vlassic, Granlund, Couture, Karlsson and Jones will all be coming off and nowhere near that amount of money will be resigning to replace it If anything we will start having trouble reaching the floor in a couple years.

What the Sharks are looking for now is significant futures in the form of young players, picks and prospects. We would probably be willing to take on cap to acquire those. If you would like a deal. I would suggest starting there.

The guy is offering our 2nd and 4th best prospects? Does that not fit the form of "young players and prospects"?
