Offersheet barbashev and then snatch Binnington when they match. The old Sloth swaperoo. What are you going to do with Jones? That is the key...signing EK, making the team tougher for the playoff run, etc; none of that matters if your goalie sucks. |

Not a lot of room left but moving the likes of Braun, Melker, and Sorensen for draft picks (not good ones though) is likely doable and would save around 7M. I think trading Vlasic would actually be a smart move but that NMC it's doubtful DW can pull that off. Biggest thing now is that DeBoer needs to utilize his lineup better and manage minutes for Karlsson, Vlasic, and Burns. Resigning Meier and Labanc is big but I definitely think Wilson has worked some magic in extending RFAs at team-friendly deals (Couture, Hertl, Vlasic, and Dillon come to mind). They each earned raises, they're the future. Got to pay them or hope they get an offer sheet and you get gifted some good draft capital. Now that I say though, Labanc is probably the perfect target for an OS. Under the radar a bit but has flashed big time promise and you could probably pinpoint a number that'd just force a cap-stricken team like the Sharks to walk away and take the picks because it'd make everything else he has to do so much more difficult. Throwing big money at the likes of Rantanen, Marner, or Point is going to get the headlines but just as likely as you stealing a young superstar, you overpay a kid and put him in a difficult spot early in his career and bankrupt your future. I would hang on to Sorrenson but the other two could go. The real question for me is how to replace the holes from Pavs and Goose. Maybe Labanc steps in for 1 but then you gut would could be a semi functional line 3 if Thornton remains. I do think line 4 should go to gambrell, barclay and maybe another young guy with something to prove. I wanted Radil or Suomela to work out but it just didnt. |

More than draft picks, I think getting beefy depth for 3rd & 4th lines now would be a priority. Lose Donskoi, Melker, Gambrel, maybe Goody and get some bigger shoulders into the bottom six. I think bottom line depth became a problem in bothe the regular season and playoffs. I could see DW making one or two sizeable trades when GMs gather for the draft. SJs amateur draft team seems to have this summer off. Nothing really dripping with talent at #91 and beyond. Very possible to improve the team with the right 'role' trades. My problem if they lose Vlassic is you guarantee Burns and especially EK65 get run into the ground. In my opinion the coach should be looking to distribute time among those guys as near evenly as possible to keep them healthy/energized late in the season. Dillon and I'm thinking our lord Simek can skate 20 minutes a game without being a mess. The Braun spot becomes the huge question but I think you riff him for some low picks and let Heed into that slot. |

I'm just skeptical of those guys' size/grit. I don't know enough about most of them. But that is what the sharks directly need injected in their lineup. Also, we are opening up 1 large hole in the top 2 lines and probably 2-3 in the top 6. Maybe one of those slots makes sense for one of the younger guys but that's a large jump needed from them. |

The Sharks will continue to be a legitimate Stanley Cup Contender for years to come. IMHO  |

The general consensus on NHL radio on the Karlsson deal seemed to be "YIKES!" Too much money and too much term. There was a general consensus among those guys that they didn't see anybody offering Karlsson that kind of money given the injury situation. I have no doubts that the Rangers would have offered him that much. It is telling that within hours of the Karlsson signing that the Rangers traded for Trouba.

The Sharks will continue to be a legitimate Stanley Cup Contender for years to come. IMHO i agree with your evaluation regarding contending, but i also think we are stuck with being relegated to a bridesmaid irt to the ultimate prize. unfortunately i believe there is a HUGE culture change needed here and i don't see that happening anytime soon |

Interesting that currently all Sharks' LD is defensive and all RD (Burns, Karlsson, Merkley/Heed/Roy) is offensive. |

I am guessing Melker and maybe he can find someone to take Dell? The Sharks have 2 solid goalies in the AHL and signed one of the best NCAA goalies last season. |

Dilly better be staying now Flyers basically replace Gudas (traded to Caps) with Braun, they become softer but probably improve defensively. Braun was a decent defenseman but something a little goofy with him. good skater, good at covering space and closing gaps but never a complete blueliner. I read from this deal DW very bullish on Simek coming back from ACL injury and play at same level before injury. Vlasic, Dillon, Simek, Joakim Ryan only left shot Ds remaining. Sharks shed $3.8m of Cap space by dealing Braun for picks. he's 32 now and will be a UFA next summer. Good deal. My ticket partner LOVED giving Braun shit every game. he made goofy plays often. At times it got awkward, especially with the lady in the row below who wore a Braun jersey to every game. LOL water under the bridge now.. Jones becomes the new official whipping boy!  |

Same for Melker. yea, I see Donskoi signing July 1st with a new club for a big raise contract and the Sharks will be fine with that. that's $2m more in Cap space lifted. Just a hunch, but I see Donkey making a good fit with Colorado. Sharks now need something different. Something with bigger shoulders. |
