Labanc is a fine player, but a half point per game player for an NHL ready good d prospect, a 1st, and a 2nd, is beyond bonkers.

A good prospect a late first late second is a lot so it depends on how much Boston loves labanc. If they think he can improve over last season and he's a 65 pt winger then you probably have to do it. You can bet he isn't going to give you a break on his salary so with him debrusk and Krug you have to juggle.

You can’t really rate Bankers performance on a team that is slumping as a whole. He’s a power play machine and his upside is still quite high. He’s definitely a top six player on most teams.

That said sharks certainly decline this deal as they don’t need a defenseman. If they move Banker and Melker this year that leaves them with zero right hand shots on the whole forward corps. They will need to find a trading partner willing to give up a RW B+/A- prospect in return along with a 2nd.

Ferraro has already cenented a spot in the D corps and Merkley and Kniazev are only a year or two away.

They never get an offer near this strong

I would take this, although more D prospects are useless for us so a forward would be more ideal if possible
