Sharks are far from the worse team in the NHL
Why are people acting like Duclair is a top 10 wing? He is a one dimensional winger that has had one really good season playing with Barkov and Huberdeau, two of the better set up guys in the NHL. He has never played 82 games once in his 8 year career. He consistently shies away from any physical play. I remember 1 actual hit in the Panther‘s playoff run. I like Duke he’s a nice complementary player, but he isn’t a line driver. San Jose is his 7th NHL team there is a reason for that.This feels like a robbery by SJ, baring another bad injury SJ is going to be able to flip him for a nice return at the deadline especially if they retain 50%, and especially if they can get double retention

Arizona is still terribleLol what?
How is a team that just finished 28th last year, and missed being the worst by 2 points "far" from being the worst. Did you mean to choose a more accurate word, because far is not the right one.
We added nothing of note this offseason, our best players are all 29 and over, and Karlsson is almost certainly not going put up another 100pt season. We wont have Meier to start this season either, and we might even find a trade partner for Karlsson which would make our defense easily contending for one of the worst in the NHL.
If you do not think we are the worst, I could understand that, there are some other ugly looking teams, but we are not far from the worst by any definition of that word.
5-15-5 in the games after Meier was sat for and after the trade. A 49 point pace over 82. They were worse than their record after the deadline and are replacing Meier with Duclair and replaced Reimer with Blackwood. If Karlsson is gone, they’re not getting better.Arizona is still terrible
Philly has dumped every valuable player on their tram minis Konecny.
Habs got worse also, selecting a player who won't come help them next year
Hawks are still shit
The only team below or close to SJ thay got better is CBS drafting their top C.
Unless Hertl leaves or Karlsson leaves. i think SJ won't finish any lower than the trams mentionned above.
Nobody is suggesting he's a top 10 winger but he's capable of 20+ goals and that's going to have deadline value especially when he can be had as low as 750K

He has 14 points in 34 playoff games and is a -5, he’ll have value but anyone sending a 2nd or worse a 1st is wasting the pick. Duke is where the play went to die way too often this past off-season.Nobody is suggesting he's a top 10 winger but he's capable of 20+ goals and that's going to have deadline value especially when he can be had as low as 750K
