Rumor: LeBrun: roster reset? Boyle to Rangers?

[hockeyball]

Which is why Boyle would only get a top 6 forward, 1st and prospect. almost half of what Pronger was worth.

Exactly.

The point is only to show that high end defensmen garner huge returns, even at that age. Boyle would not get as much as Pronger obviously, but that's not the point. That people think Boyle would be traded for scraps just baffles me. He's a fantastic defensemen, something a lot of teams sorely lack, and he's a game changer. He would get a big return.

 

[Kershaw]

We get it, bro. Boyle ain't worth **** and Thorton is a choker.


Boom.

Ain't worth ****? He's an Olympic defenseman that has been a #1 guy for around a decade. Also you spelled Thornton wrong. 29 other teams would line up to add these two.

He's kidding...

Hope you are too...

 

[WTFetus]

Not that it really matters since Boyle's NMC is really miniscule, but for the record, I don't think Pronger had a NTC/NMC in his previous contract.

 

[Coily]

Just remembered SJ gave that exact package for Burns. Seto Coyle 1st.

Guess we stole him

TSN trade talk. LeBrun reiterates his stance on Sharks. (Plus points on other teams that may have players available.)

 

[ramstoria]

Yeah, that's why we are getting upset. They don't make changes.

I know I know. My argument earlier wasn't that we don't need changes (because I'm fully on board for the Clowe, Murray, and Tmac exodus). I was just saying that I think we have a punchers chance this season and next season with minor changes, not a fire sale.

LeBrun (edit: not LeBrun, but the way the TSN Trade Talk Article is structured) comes awfully close to suggesting a Boyle for Gaborik swap. Boyle with one year left on his deal, same as Gaborik, cap hits fairly close, both big time players.

Not saying I necessarily want it, but seems like a Boyle for Gaborik type swap would be a DW move.

Havlat Couture Gaborik.

What a line.

It makes sense, in a way. But I don't like it because next year Boyle would be worth twice as much at the deadline over Gaborik. A contender would definitely be willing to pay up for Boyle at the deadline. Gaborik, not so much.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Boyle for Gaborik would be a moronic deal. I'm not one to use the 'e' word, but Gaborik is the definition of enigmatic. Gets benched in the third when the team is down for not putting in enough effort. Boyle is the heart of the Sharks dressing room. If we're making a playoff push, I want Dan Boyle to be included. He'd probably outscore Gaborik in the playoffs, too.

Besides, we can't take Gabby's cap next season, and if we were to trade Boyle it would be for futures.

 

[WTFetus]

Burns and Gaborik are best buds...

 

[Juxtaposer]

Burns and Gaborik are best buds...

So are Joe and Nash. Doesn't make Nash a good idea.

 

[WTFetus]

I don't think Nash and Thornton share an agent and eat out when they are in the same town.
I wasn't saying it was a good idea either, I was just saying.

I don't want Gaborik. But it's a move I can see happening. One of those things where if next week I'm reading about this trade going through, I would thing, "Yup. That's the Sharks for you."

Rick Nash sure is doing well for the Rangers so far this season. You know, leading them in scoring and all. To me that sounds exactly what the Sharks are missing, an elite shoot-first goal scoring winger with speed. Yet everyone here seems to believe he wasnt the answer.

Rick Nash sure is doing well for the Rangers so far this season. You know, leading them in scoring and all. He's on pace to score an equalvent of 45 goals over an 82 game season. To me that sounds exactly what the Sharks are missing, an elite shoot-first goal scoring winger with speed. Yet everyone here seems to believe he wasnt the answer.

Yeah because the cost to acquire him would leave us with Marleau-Thornton-Nash and then no one else to score.

It's the transcript from tonight's "Insider Trading" and if you watch it the Boyle and Gaborik sections are totally separate. There is no indication that Boyle would be swapped for Gaborik.

 

[SactoShark]

Havlat Couture Gaborik.

What a line.

Looking forward to the post blow-up starting line…

Gaborik - Sheppard - Havlat
Murray - Burns

 

[bigwillie]

Yep. If you hate the Sharks depth right now, imagine what it would be after they traded for another star like Nash...

 

[Bizz]

All it took NY was Anisimov and Dubinsky. It wouldnt have cost us much more then McGinn+Clowe.

 

[SactoShark]

To be honest, no one else is scoring.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Did you want to give up 2 of Couture/1st/Pavelski, and get Nash at 7.8

Also he would not be scoring so well in the Pacific

they'd have nash but be without couture, a 1st and probably 1 or 2 more pieces

DW was offering Pavs+

 

[hohosaregood]

Pavelski probably would have been included in that trade to columbus and I think I'd be okay with that. I think Pavelski is wasted at RW, sure he got 30 goals last year but I just don't think he should be there.
