3? Oilers, ducks and?
That's simply not true. They have plenty of financial flexibility even with Burns' contract. If they don't re-sign these two it's because Wilson decided not to meet their contract demands.Giving Burns that contract is brutal, Basically a NTC. They are stuck with him.

Offersheet Draisaitl. Resign Thornton.
Your numbers are off, chief.San Jose needs to sign 14 player with $17million.
A successful offersheet to Draisaitl will take $10million
$7million to sign 8 remaining players?
:S
If they start a rebuild or retool what pieces do they need? How old are Couture and JoePa? Do they have any promising young D?
woops. meant 9 players.
Get younger. Edmonton and Calgary are both young and should be contenders for a while. Anaheim will still be there for a couple of years too. It's going to be tough for the Sharks.
Sharks entire top-6 was decimated by injuries against the Oilers. Sharks hung in that series and actually outplayed Edm for decent stretches.The Sharks looked old and slow against the Oilers and they couldn't even remotely keep up with the Pens speed in their best year. They have some great pieces to build around. My honest opinion is to start getting rid of the older guys and go younger. Don't grabs vets for the bottom 6- go younger/faster.
The Sharks are a good team but when they went up against speed, they couldn't keep up. Pens absolutely destroyed them and Jones was terrific to make sure it wasn't 4 or 5. Oilers, IMO, dominated play and it shouldn't have been a long series at all. Oilers just looked better.
Speed/youth in the bottom 6. Stop charity-signing old players. Move on and move to a younger/quicker team with your new core of Burns (also vet presence) - Jones - Hertl - LC - and your other vet presence... Pavs.

But what can one man do to save a franchise?
Get a new core. Their old core are all chokers. Can't win with chokers.
