Quoting: goodfella
That trade is terrible for the Sharks. Jones is better than Markstrom even with an off year. Roy is still a good defensive prospect despite the injury he had. Plus we give up two picks and one is a 2nd? I'd rather just ship out Braun for a pick.
You're telling me a guy, who played with possibly the best D in the NHL, and had a GAA of 2.96 and SVS% of 0.896 is better than Jacob Markstrom, who pretty much was a wall for the Vancouver Canucks. And despite all the efforts from the Canucks to tank, he was still single-handedly winning us games. The nucks had the worst D in the NHL, after Ottawa. If he played for the Sharks, Blues or the Flames, he would be a contender for the Vezina. And dude, Jeremy Roy's AHL numbers aren't all that great, he is a project. It will be at least another season or two before he's ready for the NHL. Also, it isn't like the Sharks need him anyways. And I added the 2nd because that Jones cap-hit could be a major pain in the ass for a long time, especially if he continues the way he's playing. If he couldn't get it done with the best D in the NHL in San Jose, he isn't going to do it with the dumpster fire of a D in Vancouver. The 2nd round pick is insurance. The 7th (or 4th) is just there, if Markstrom signs long term.
But anyways, if Wilson still isn't happy with my offer, we could always add another 4th (in 2021). Or maybe he'd be interested in taking back Goldobin. He is cheap, scores 30+ points a season and can shoot. He sucks defensively though, but he is a good Bottom 6 forward.
