Grier collects another first PT2 - EDM

I think the sharks consider that seeing as this TDL is going to be tough.

Value-wise Columbus probably accepts, but if it's an option we'd ask for a 3rd and let Edmonton keep the players. We're just trying to clear roster space.

Earlier there appeared to be a consensus on this site that the price to dump Campbell would be two 1sts and a prospect. That's without sending any positive value players to Edmonton. There was also an earlier consensus that Barabanov is worth a 2nd, assuming he was as good or better than he was last year. Given that, this return seems too light for the Sharks. Especially since Kahkonen and Benning also have positive value.

However perhaps this return is more realistic at this time.

Regardless, the idea of the Sharks taking on Campbell in exchange for picks and prospects is a good one. And both Blackwood and Kahkonen have had better starts to the season than Campbell so either is an upgrade for the Oilers.

I might take Lavoie over Petrov to add more size to the Shark's pool of forward prospects.

Definitely prefer Lavoie over Petrov. You also have the Sharks getting an extra pick in this AGM.
