If were going for the playoffs

Here's my opinion and I'm not trying to be rude...

Even if you guys wind up making the playoffs which has more to do with being in a weak division than it does for how good you guys you are, you're closer to a rebuild than being an on-going contender. I personally wouldn't trade away any significant futures and focus more on some solid depth moves for the playoff run. While anything can happen, it's unlikely you'd make it passed the second round.

IMO it's unlikely that Konecny would be traded at deadline

I don’t see why konecny would get moved.

I also really don’t see why the sharks would ever be buyers.

Which is why the title begins with 'IF'

It might be a weak division but most of our games this year have been played outside the division. In fact we have only played 4 divisional games out of 37 (2 wins over Calgary, 1 loss to Seattle, 1 loss to Vancouver)

The next month will be the toughest stretch of games yet, if we come out alive we might be buyers.

I didn't think so either. But I'm a fan of him so I made an effort.
