Rumor: Sharks GM Doug Wilson looking desperately to get a first for rebuild mode

[fasterthanlight]

I wonder what teams would offer their 1st this season for Timo.

I think Timo is worth a top 10 pick.

 

[justafan22]

I think Timo is worth a top 10 pick.

Yeah, if post lottery that pick is say at 6, I wonder if Ottawa would do that deal.

Yeah I think that's a pretty fair swap value wise. Not sure who says no.

Better start selling off now Dougie. Hertl might not ever be the same player again. Second knee surgery now and once the second one hits, its usually when players really drop off in play

We aren’t selling Hertl. Especially when he’s injured

 

[405Exit]

He scored 56 points last year and he's 24. Is that a serious question?

Facts

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

We aren’t selling Hertl. Especially when he’s injured

i meant other players, not hertl specifically. hertl returns pennies on the dollar right now

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Was just gonna say this. The delusional Sharks fans need to stop getting on their knees for these guys and realizing that this team wont be good for a long, long time. At least for the next 4 years until Burns' contract is up.

Hertl wasnt the same player for almost 3 years after his first surgery. This one is much worse than last time. He likely wont be the same player ever again, and currently hes their best player. They're screwed, and that's all because Karlsson.

they say players can get back on the ice and playing just under a year now with modern medical techniques, rehab, etc but most players also said its about 2 years until they feel back to normal from ACL surgery (believe Versteeg was one of them)

the other thing that varies from player to player is their timidness or gun shy play once they've gone through multiple knee blowouts because its always in the back of their mind every time they take the ice once youve spent multiple years rehabbing grueling knee surgeries

After that Karlsson debacle of a deal. Giving up Norris balcers Tierney demelo and now a possible lottery pick . Wilson must not be allowed to go forward to make any transactions for this team. If I'm owner he has lost my confidence and should be replaced. Wilson has put the sharks in a big hole.

You need to just stop the cringe posts.

The only way I see sharks to get 1st round pick is if they can get a bad contract. Bruins need to unload backes. How about backes 1st round pick 2nd round pick 2021 3rd round pick 2021 and jakub zboril


For timo meier dillon

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I think Timo is worth a top 10 pick.

But timo is still young why trade him , he can be part of the rebuilt core. If you really want to tear it down trade guys like Kane and Couture. Problem is you're kind of stuck with Karlsson and Burns and Vlasic, those are long term deals

 

[NJ DevLolz]

LaBanc is a young 50 point play making winger with 2nd line potential, making 1M this year and then RFA for another 3. Any contender needing offense at the deadline should be willing to part with their 1st. (Would be lucky to draft a LaBanc at 20-31st overall)

Is even strength metrics are bad

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

If the Sharks want to rebuild, they should trade Couture. I'm sure Columbus would love the opportunity to acquire a C like him. I'm pretty sure his production would increase on a better team.

How about no. Dillon will be moved but not Meier.

 

[jaric1862]

Dell for a 4th

 

[sxvnert]

Has a NTC that only accepts 3 teams hes willing to be traded to.

And a broken leg.

What a horrible trade for San Jose, they arent trading Meier. If they are rebuilding he is the last player that should be traded.

I feel san Jose and bruins are a match. Bruins badly need to get rid of backes debacle contract and sharks are in desperate need to recoup that first round pick they lost to the sens. Maybe leblanc instead of meier makes this happen?

They have to take on a terrible contract AND give up assets just to get a first round pick? You are delusional.

 

[Pitaya]

I could see the Islanders targeting Kane

do you remember that time Toronto traded Marleau and a first rounder to Carolina in exchange for a 6th round pick? Yeah, replace Marleau with Backes and that’s the deal Boston is going to need to make to rid themselves of that contract.

 

[CREW99AW]

I could see the Islanders targeting Kane

Really think he is a Lou type player?
One of his " we before me types"?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Send Marleau and Joe off to win cups.

although, would that be tank-favorable or counter-tank?
