GDT: Game 34: Sharks @ Red Wings 4:30pm NBCSCA Couture out w/ Covid, Vlasic officially scratched

[Barrie22]

Someone gets it.

Someone has not been paying attention.

 

[stator]

I hope Bob Boughner is gone by the end of the season.

Hell no, that would mean that DW remains.

 

[stator]

I hope he gets traded to Florida. I watch Florida and to watch Hertl and Thornton raise the cup would be great. Besides, it's not Vegas or Tampa so that's a bonus.

What the heck? That would mean the Sharks get the lowest 1st pick for him. Forget this lovy dovy shit about other teams winning a cup, and focus on whats the best route for the Sharks to do so.

Soooo trade him to Arizona for their first?

Sign me up.

We don't even know if DW is even coming back

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

So who scratched Vlasic and is it infected??

Someone is (once again) proving my point.

I'm not sure Hertl would want a trade to Arizona, for instance. It needs to be a cup contender, and it will get you at least a middle of the road pick.

He has for all intents and purposes basically a no trade clause. His contract right now is amazing worth, so even the 3 best teams in the league could take his contract on for the remainder of the year so that helps.

Maybe a fringe team like the Stars? I'd try to get multiple picks. Like a 1st and 3rd for Hertl. A 1st or really good prospect for Burns. Maybe a team like Edmonton bites on that. We'd have to take salary back or retain im sure. I don't know the Oilers salary cap situation.

Projected to be at 88mil in a 81 mil cap. As of this very moment they have 928,000 cap space left.

If Burns somehow gets a first or a "really good" prospect, I will fly over to SJ from Australia, just so I can help him pack and drive him to the airport. There is no way a team trades that for Burns.

DW does his best Kaa impression and hypnotizes another GM into a trade.

I agree. We did get a first for Barclay Goodrow though, so there's always hope lol

 

[undercovernerd]

I mean it was pretty much rd 2 pick for a team a little grit away from winning a cup and not becoming the sharks.
And it paid off. I’m sure they would do it again.

And gave up a 3rd round pick in the process.

We had to add a 3rd onto Goodrow to get the 31st pick. And it was because he was making under $1M for that season and the next, on a team tight to the cap.

Burns will be 37 in March, making 8M for this season, and 3 more.

No way in hell we get a 1st for him, let alone a really good prospect.

I can see the Sharks getting a 1st for Burns but in very specific and unlikely ways. For instance, I look at a team like Philadelphia where a deal involving a 1st for Burns does make sense. I could see the Sharks retaining 1.5 mil on Burns and moving him there for either Kevin Hayes or Scott Laughton and a 1st. The chances are very slim but I don't think it's zero just yet. He plays a premium position and probably would perform better on a team with better coaching, better buy-in, and a more suitable partner. Ferraro has been very good and is clearly a future piece but he's not an ideal partner for Burns. Burns needs a more conservative partner.

DW got two 2nds for an over the hill and useless Brad Stuart.

 

[Pavelski2112]

And Doug Murray

 

[Pinkfloyd]

And Doug Murray

He got a 2nd and a 6th for Stuart that was traded back to Colorado with another 2nd to move up 8 spots to pick Jeremy Roy. Murray was dealt for two 2nds where one was traded to move up two spots to draft Mirco Mueller and the other 2nd was used to select Noah Rod. Great trades for the picks...bad follow-through.

I trust Jr. a lot more with those picks than I did Burke

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Possibly but the value on even the draft pick trades weren't good so it wasn't just Burke. Plus, outside of Norris and Ferraro, nothing has yet panned out to warrant all that much trust in Jr. We have hopefuls but nothing concrete really given the timeframe involved.
