Value of: A few Sharks players

[Juxtaposer]

Been a while, but I’m interested in seeing how some of these players are valued around here.

Logan Couture, 28, C/LW, $6M (UFA in 2020)

Justin Braun, 31, RD, $3.8M (UFA in 2021)

Tim Heed, 25, RD, $650K (UFA in 2020)

Melker Karlsson, 27, RW, $2M (UFA in 2021)

Couture and Braun are well known enough. Heed is a quality bottom-pairing offensively inclined RHD who has a bomb of a shot and can run a good #2PP unit. I would prefer to keep him but it seems our coach hates him and I really just think he deserves to be an every night player, even if it isn’t with the Sharks. Karlsson is someone you would ideally find on your fourth line, but can play up the lineup in a pinch. He is an excellent PKer, can throw his weight around, and has a knack for scoring clutch playoff goals.

In trading Couture or Braun, I would look for future type of assets, with drafted prospects being more valuable to the Sharks than picks. For the other two, something that could help our team now or in the future is fine.

Feel free to ask about any other player (Burns, Vlasic, Pavelski, Jones, etc.), but Hertl, Meier, Donskoi, Labanc, and Ryan are not available for ‘fair value’.

Braun for Max Jones + a 2018 2nd.

Jones seems to be having a pretty awful year in the OHL. What’s up with him?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Braun for Raddysh+1st

Braun for Raddysh+1st

Sold. That approximately what I’d be looking for for Braun.

Sold. That approximately what I’d be looking for for Braun.

That's about what I figured. I like it a little bit better than selling the farm for McDonagh if Braun is what I think he is.

 

[Kiwi]

Heed seems interesting from a Leafs POV, what would you guys be looking for?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Braun for Max Jones + a 2018 2nd.

Id think braun would bring in more than that... jones is the type of player that the other team either has to be really high on or they prob wont value him much.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Logan Brown + Cody Ceci for Logan Couture?

Keeps getting hurt. Also doesn't help that London was a lot worse than in previous years. Hopefully the trade to Kingston will do him some good. With his physical tools he should be a NHL player in some fashion. If the toolbox is there he could be really good.

Logan Brown + Cody Ceci for Logan Couture?

Because having Brassard, Duchene & Pageau isn't enough?

Couldn't you say that about any trade that has a prospect as the centerpiece? No team would trade a proven player for a prospect they don't value.

I wouldn't have an issue with Jones + a 1st if I knew it was going to be 20-30.

We're trading Brassard

Logan Brown + Cody Ceci for Logan Couture?

Looks underwhelming. Ceci stinks and brown isn't supposed to be anything other than a 3C no?

 

[SnS]

I’d like Karlsson in our bottom 6, but I have my doubts that Hakstol would let him play over Filppula, Jori, Dale.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Looks underwhelming. Ceci stinks and brown isn't supposed to be anything other than a 3C no?

Lol sorry what?

Are we talking about the same Logan Brown? you know he has 40 points in 22 games played in the O?

He has 1st line C potential

 

[Kcoyote3]

Logan Brown is a good base for Couture, no interest in Ceci though.

 

[Baksfamous112]

We're trading Brassard

The last time you guys made a similar move it didn't end well, did it?

 

[Longtimeleaffan85]

Braun would be a interesting piece for the leafs

Regardless ceci sucks so it'd have to be more than just brown

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

What's the cost of Heed to Detroit?

 

[Baksfamous112]

Said the Habs fan.

Yeah, because last year Tampa was doing well, were they?

 

[Mugzy97]

Braun would be a interesting piece for the leafs

I would add to our 1st to get him

Jones seems to be having a pretty awful year in the OHL. What’s up with him?

I don't watch CHL hockey much at all, so take this with a mountain of salt, but I suspect his offensive game hasn't developed past the "be more physically gifted than your opponents" stage. Likely will have a career similar to Tom Wilson or Logan Crouse. Good players to have but not stars by any means.
