What kind of value would San Jose place on him? Could a similar aged defenseman be of interest?
Maybe straight up for zaitsev (with salary retained)?Absolutely, but the defenseman probably has to be right handed (or a left handed shooter who primarily plays the right side) and has to be at a similar position in value.
It’s tough to say what kind of value they place on him. His numbers look good; 40 points and 1st amongst forwards in SHTOI on the #2 penalty kill in the NHL. I don’t personally think he is as good as the numbers say, though. I think that if you can make a trade with a GM that sees “23 year old 40 point elite PK center” and doesn’t look too far past those numbers and watch him play or look at his more advanced metrics, that is a very good trade to make.
If I were Doug Wilson, I would be trying to sell him while his value is at its absolute highest. If a GM is trading a top line/pair type player, and the asking price is the classic “roster player, prospect, pick”, I would wonder if Tierney could be that roster player.
Maybe straight up for zaitsev (with salary retained)?
I think there was mutual interest in a trade that consisted of Tierney+Braun for Gardiner+Kapanen
That is something I would definitely do.
The problem for me in that trade is that Braun is the main target for me, not Tierney.
No it isn't.Yikes, Zaitsev definitely isn’t the guy. That contract is disgusting even if Toronto retains 50%.
At 2.25, it is probably just fair, if not a bit of an overpay. At 4.5... Jesus Christ, is that deal horrible.No it isn't.
i don’t think the Sharks need Gardiner as the left side of the D is pretty set. Would rather Toronto’s first.
Braun
Tierney
Kapanen
2018 1st
It's horrible if he continues to play bad like he did this season. If he plays like he did last season it will be ok. A rising cap also helps make it look not as bad.At 2.25, it is probably just fair, if not a bit of an overpay. At 4.5... Jesus Christ, is that deal horrible.
Before anyone wants to comment on tis:Petry for Tierney
or
Juulsen + 2018 2nd for Tierney
