Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

From the looks of it, the Sharks have 2 rumored deals floating around for Erik Karlsson. They can either trade him to Pittsburgh with less retention and take on additional bad contracts with less term, or they can commit to retaining a large amount and ship him to Carolina to acquire some high value futures. With the team several years from contending, I think I am on the high retention = high value train as of now, but we will see what plays out this weekend. As for the lines, I think they would find a Veteran to lock down 4C, that just feels like Grier and Quinn's style, but idk who so I just slotted in Bordeleau for now. Will be Bystedt or Bordeleau by the trade deadline. Similarly, I think Thrun (and maybe Knyzhov too) start the year with the Cuda but are regulars by the end of the year. Sharks management seem to be in no rush to get prospects in the lineup.
