Update with Zub

He is 6'5" 215LBS. why cant he play 4th line for a year?
I mean sharks would hate Zaitsev for a year, but since we aren't winning anything next year and Soklov would be a great add for the future with his size to compliment our smaller stature prospect pool we would do this deal.
(sharks top 6 F prospects being Bordeleau 5'10", Eklund 5'11" Gushin 5'10", Robins 5'8", Weisblatt 5'9" Coe 6'3")

I mean he has great numbers in the AHL but hasn't been able to translate it to the NHL yet. It's risky for the Sharks, that's a very big contract for a team that has no cap room to take on.

I don't think the Sharks would be the team to take on that contract. I could see the Coyotes doing this (with maybe a higher pick) after Chychrun gets dealt

Bystedt is looking like a steal. He's 6'4" and I'd put him over Weisblatt and Coe at the moment. Excited to see what he can do at the WJC

Teams will know Ottawa's cap situation and like we saw with Monahan and the Flames a 1st is gonna have to go the other way to get anyone to take Zaitsev

As Zaitsev is not a good defender and at a 4.5mill cap hit like what we saw MTL did with CGY I would demand a 1st cause with Ottawa's cap situation other teams should take full advantage

100% agree, we lost out on Korchinki and Mintyukov the two LD options at 11OA and consolation prize was Bysted Lund and Havelid and all 3 look like potential NHL players.
