Proposal: MTL / SJS

[Pierre Lebrun]

Montreal trades:

1st rd pick 2021 + Drouin (5.5m cap hit) + Lehkonen (2.4m cap hit) = 7.9m

San Jose trades:

Kane (7m cap hit) + Gabriel (.7m cap hit) = 7.7m

*NOTE* I think there would need to be some sort of a condition added here in case Kane doesn't complete his contract. Kane would also have to waive his NMC.

• This gives Montreal some much needed jam with a physical scoring winger that can get other teams distracted, as well as an enforcer who is making a name for himself and adding value to his current team.
• San Jose rids of any problems associated with Kane, and gets good value in return for Gabriel with the packaged deal (possibly even overvalued with Lehkonen added here).

Thoughts? Try not to shoot this down with snarky comments... its just a Sunday morning trade proposal from a bored fan...

Sure. I like Kane, but his contract could cause us trouble long term. Adding two roster forwards would be good and they're both short term. And a 1st is good.

 

[MisterT]

Over-rating Drouin, who at $5.5M for his production/game, is closer to being a dump.

Add a bottle of lube going to SJ and it’s about even. Why is SJ giving up the the best player and a 1st lol.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

The last thing the Sharks need is more middle 6 wingers. Kane has probably been our best player this year. I haven’t seen any effect on the team or his individual play coming from his BK problems. This trade makes no sense for the Sharks.

I suggest coffee. Montreal is the one sending the 1st.

 

[Groo]

That's an easy no from the Sharks
Not going to get any teams top scorer for that
A 1st and a couple of cap dumps.

 

[themelkman]

Not great value for the sharks. Drouin is worth pretty little to us. Also 0.00% chance Kane waives to live in MTL

I did wake up grab my phone and just start scrolling through things so you actually hit the nail on the head lol

 

[Groo]

How about a 3rd for Armia?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Would Kane be even able to evolve in a market like Montreal?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Throw Vlasic in there instead of Kane and we can talk.

I am assuming that English is a second language for you because that question could be misconstrued very badly

 

[ole ole]

How many 1st are you adding?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Nothing for guys like Drouin and Lehkonen.

Um.... what did SJ trade for Kane in the 1st place?

I mean, it's fine if you don't think this helps your team, but this is a better deal than what you gave to get him.

And both Drouin and Lehkonen would be improvements on several Sharks Fs.

Again, I understand not wanting to deal away the best player in the deal, but the rest of your answer seems a bit off.

Not relevant
Says you. Not going to gut our 1st line to bolster the bottom 6

Not that I doubt your sources, but wondering why that would be.

In the world of cap dumps, Vlasic is like, the epitome of cap dumps.

@ 5.5M for a 50-60pts winger, Drouin is overpaid by what, 1M?

Vlasic is over paid by what, 60% of his salary?

 

[themelkman]

Not that I doubt your sources, but wondering why that would be.

Kane hated WPG and while I know they arent near the same city, they both come with the hyper media focus of a Canadian team, as well as the more conservative Canadian fans. Kane being in SJ has been the first time the media stuff hasn't overwhelmed and attacked him and I doubt hes looking to go to a very high pressure environment with his current financial issues.

While asking us to take on a few million in unneeded players. I get Vlasic is a dump but I’m not throwing first rounders out to get rid of him. I’m moving wanted pieces, probably wingers, or I’ll take the buyout when it’s convenient. At least he’s been a competent 3rd pairing guy. He still adds some value to the lineup so either move him for something that actually makes sense for the team or ride it out a bit.

 

[Bizz]

the 1st is nice, but not packaged with two negative-value cap dumps for who is far and away our best player right now.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Value aside I don't think Montreal is going to be on the three team trade list Kane will submit should he be shopped for a trade.

Stop being a homer.

60 points? He's never got that. And probably never will.
