Full NMCCould he be a trade piece at the deadline for more draft picks if he has a solid season but Sharks are near the bottom? Or does the 4 years make that very unlikely?
He's not getting traded until 2027 at the earliest, more likely 2028 if he's at all in demand and the Sharks are out of the race.Could he be a trade piece at the deadline for more draft picks if he has a solid season but Sharks are near the bottom? Or does the 4 years make that very unlikely?
Full NMC
Toffoli will probably not be worth $6M in that last year, but we’ll have guys like Musty, Halttunen, Chernyshov, etc. pushing for top-6 spots by that point on ELCs so Toffoli at $6M in a third line role won’t be a problem.
Honestly it looks like he took a discount tooGreat pickup, he will probably suck bad in year 4 but thats free agency for you.
The Sharks have a franchise C so the need to completely bottom out and win the lottery is not needed especially at the expense of developing Celebrini and Smith.Okay, I'm not a big fan of this signing. It doesn't make sense. At 32 years old, he doesn't serve our long term goal. The full NMC prevents you from trading him for younger assets. He's very productive, perhaps too productive, so that will hurt our drafting position when we're rebuilding by adding high draft picks. He would make sense on a playoff-bound team, not a last place team.
He might help the growth of a young center like Smith and/or Celebrini. This shows that Grier wants to put an emphasis on developing Smith and Celebrini even if it lowers our draft picks talent-wise the next 3-4 years.
Personally, I think a signing like this makes sense a couple of years from now. But signing Tyler Toffoli this year might hurt our chances at getting Hagens and the elite McKenna or other top talents.
Just remember how far we were behind other teams in the standings this year. This Sharks team could win a dozen more games the coming season--which would be quite the improvement!--and still be in the race for the #1 pick, or at least a top 3/5 pick.Okay, I'm not a big fan of this signing.

I wonder if Toffoli is the difference between a meaningfully more successful season. I don't think we were looking at scraping the absolute bottom unless we run into injury troubles which will happen regardless. But it does help the young playmakers a lot.Okay, I'm not a big fan of this signing. It doesn't make sense. At 32 years old, he doesn't serve our long term goal.

Biggest part of this signing is to see the structure of the pay. I would assume Toffoli would push for a heavy signing bonus laden deal (particularly at the end), but would be nice if it was just a straight $6M a year in salary for 4 years that can be bought out in Year 4 when it starts to likely look bad.Toffoli will probably not be worth $6M in that last year, but we’ll have guys like Musty, Halttunen, Chernyshov, etc. pushing for top-6 spots by that point on ELCs so Toffoli at $6M in a third line role won’t be a problem.
I actually think Toffoli will end up playing out his full contract here.Biggest part of this signing is to see the structure of the pay.
