Yep I think a vast majority of Sharks fans still do that trade every time.Getting Balcers back really makes up for everything else they gave up for Karlsson.
Let's not go thereYep I think a vast majority of Sharks fans still do that trade every time.
I'm glad that this will allow Melnyk to have food on the table tonight.For those interested, this cost San Jose $56,250, paid to Ottawa and not counted against the cap.
Lol no they wouldn't. Knowing they gave up Stuetzle any sane Sharks fans would not do that trade.Yep I think a vast majority of Sharks fans still do that trade every time.
Getting the best offensive D in the league is worth it. Knowing the pick is 3rd overall, yes there’s more of a hesitation but the trade originally was so lopsided for the Sharks.Lol no they wouldn't. Knowing they gave up Stuetzle any sane Sharks fans would not do that trade.
Karlsson hasn't been the best offensive D in the league in years, and this is a roster with Burns.Getting the best offensive D in the league is worth it. Knowing the pick is 3rd overall, yes there’s more of a hesitation but the trade originally was so lopsided for the Sharks.

Not me.Yep I think a vast majority of Sharks fans still do that trade every time.
Let's just say I wouldn't have signed Kalrsson for free for that contract as an UFA let alone give up all those assets.Not to mention Norris who looks extremely promising.
What does Burns have to do with EK? Without EK behind Burns the best offensive D the Sharks have/had in the past few years is Tim freaking Heed. There’s a world where trades don’t have to have a winner or a loser. Norris is great now but I don’t think he would have been given the same chance in SJ. Tierney would never have been more than a 3C (and a 4C up until this season). Demelo was a bottom pairing D that was scratched and flawed with us and again wouldn’t have gotten the same chance in SJ. Stuetzle is fantastic and is a great get for OTT but he’s still a mystery box while the Sharks were all in and they couldn’t wait for him to be better. EK also allows us to insulate our top prospect (Merkley) and allowed us to take a chance on a guy (Merkley) that talent wise was top 5 in the draft. This trade now looks much more even.Karlsson hasn't been the best offensive D in the league in years, and this is a roster with Burns.
