WTF is with giving up these random 5+ round picks?

I know nothing about Klim, but seems like a positive to get something for Simek

$2.2M next year, then RFA? I think it's a really great gamble! If he returns to last season's form that's a very good 4C and a workable 3C. He's young, and over 6'3

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Former 31st overall pick who has done zip in the NHL/AHL. But there is good news, he is 6'4". Sharks have about 10 Kostin like players already under contract so what's one more.

Only good thing about this trade is that Simek might get another shot to play up in the NHL.

Just saw his cap hit, Sharks go from one 2 mill unless player to another.

I believe he's a winger but otherwise I totally agree. He fits the mold of how Grier and Quinn want their forwards to play. Fast physical F1. Will probably have value at next year's deadline if we choose not to extend him.

 

[cheechoo]

I already have my angry emojis pre-typed for when Kostin gets turned into a 4th next deadline instead of just keeping my Simek and the 7th.

btw though i agree with above. GMMG has been moving off of these mid/late round picks like candy. not sure if i agree with this in principle but i have more faith in this Kostin investment than the Studnicka one

he's trying to materialize assets from thin air

I'd love for you to name who (outside of Kunin) is remotely similar to Klostin.

If anything we need more of these types of players to crowd out the Hoffmans, Barabanovs and Labancs of the world. No more one dimensional "skill" players.

 

[hohosaregood]

Kinda sad to lose Simek for the Cuda but kostin seems to be a solid gamble

The team will not want to make too many picks every year. There are only so many roster spots they have available and they don’t want to overload the player development staff by drafting 14 players. They have 4 picks in the top 40 and generally will only have room to sign 4-5 players max from each draft so it doesn’t mean much to give up 7th round picks.

 

[Jargon]

Yeah, it’s literally what Quinn asked for.

I won't confuse Kostin with some multi dimensional grinder, but he's definitely not someone that this organization has an abundance of with DWjr being afraid to draft anyone that's taller than he is.

It's a worthwhile gamble for a 7th rounder and is at least another NHL body to put into the lineup that is a plus skater. Kunin (pre injury) is probably an apt comp.

I wonder if it’s a trade lubricant for a newish GM. A lot of these guys are friends, and it would benefit Grier in the future to ingratiate himself.

It's not like the Sharks have used mid to late round picks over the past 5 years to draft anything good.

Yeah, he’s still quite young and has some skill. You sorta wish your 7th turns out like a Kostin.

It’s a whatever trade but maybe he can find his game here.

 

[Shark Finn]

Apparently acquiring a guy like Klim ain't Kostin too much.

 

[Internazionale]

Nice add. Klim can shoot.

 

[Hobocop]

Man, thanks for your play on the Cuda this year, Simek. One of the few positive stories the team had.

 

[sharski]

Yeah I think throwing in a draft pick is just the price of doing business for a lot of these deals

 

[mogambomoroo]

Very nice add!! We need more of these type of players, Hopefully he finds his game here.
