Trade with Sharks

I have a feeling Deangelo won’t be going to a place as liberal as the Bay Area. I realize I’m probably exaggerating that aspect a ton but whatever. Also the Sharks don’t really need him anyway, they have Karlsson and Burns

Rumor is they are shopping Burns and LaBanc. If they move Burns they definitely will have room for ADA, even if he doesn't end up going to the Sharks, I'd look to move ADA while his value is highest. Plus we have Trouba making 8 million, Fox will get a huge raise in 2 years and Lundkvist on the way all righties.

DeAngelo is good, and the value here is actually pretty decent in my opinion, but as a Shark fan, I don’t want to see him on my team. I can’t imagine the sort of locker room tensions would rise with this guy and someone like Evander. And I just think he’s a bad person. But personal feelings aside, this doesn’t really make too much sense imo. San Jose already has Karlsson who doesn’t play defense and will eventually have Merkley make his way up who also doesn’t play defense. Even if we do get rid of Burns, I’m not too keen on overpaying a guy who just had a career year who will inevitably fall off stat-wise. I’d rather sign Vatanen or DeMelo in FA, who are better all around players than trade for DeAngelo.

Phew. Thank god! Lol

OOOOOOF that’s bad
