Grier is a terrible GM. He just traded a future 50 goal scorer for a soft Russian goalie. Trash GM!
Confirmed Trade: [SJS/NSH] Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke, 2025 COL 3rd round pick for David Edstrom, Magnus Chrona, 2025 SJS/VGK 1st round pick (top 10 conditional)

It's basically the equivalent of trading two late firsts for a near top-ten pick.

Ya they defense could use a little work…. But goalie was a bigger need/priority.
And they still have plenty of assets and prob another year at the bottom to find some more talent on the back end.
They are newer to the rebuild than teams like Anaheim/Chicago/columbus but you could argue with this move they’ve sordof caught up in terms of artillery

Nashville did fine. I like it more for sjs but they recovered what value they could.

Mike Grier did great work here. Edstrom and the late 1st are nice pieces but if Askarov could be a 10 year solution in net.
edit: Ooh vegas might actually be bad this year, looking old and thin...oh well nice calculated risk.

That Vegas pick is unprotected and half the team needs to suit up in bubble wrap just to go grocery shopping. You never know...

San Jose is like my 4th team twice removed so I hope they didn't screw up here with that first rounder

SJ did really well here. I think Nashville will regret not trying to make it work with Saros/Askarov
I don't know if I like the sound of that then. Grinder/ 2-way guy? Trotz is trying to change the identity to something mote exciting.

Frankly, considering how bad Chicago has been, their prospect pool isn't really anything special outside of Lev and Bedard. Korchinski is ok, Nazar? Meh

I learned of this trade on social from TSN, and their graphic just shows a 1st, not that it is Vegas' 1st. So, I came here to see all of the "Grier is a clown" comments, but after seeing that it isn't a potential top 5 pick in the Sharks' pick, I think this is a great deal for both sides.
I mean he's not going to play immediately. He'll be a more than capable 3C and possibly a decent 2C if he plays up to expectations. Centers are valuable.
Seems like a great trade for both teams. Sharks get a potential (likely) elite goalie and Nashville got a surprisingly great return.

Nash fan.
I really like this deal for both sides honestly. We'll have 3 1sts next year. Lots of ammo to do whatever we need to do. I liked Edstrom coming out and think he is a Trotz style player. We need Center prospects desperately and I am sure he was the best available from SJ.

Grier is an amazing GM he just traded Tomas Hertl and a 1st for his goalie of the future.
