Sharks WAGON

It’s a cool idea but leafs will 100% not be using two firsts this year

That 100% is easily more like a 50 / 50

Heavily protected 2026 first with playoff conditions and a about the same for Tanev - Leafs tried for Zaddy and Tanev which would have cost nearly this price, except here they get a D with actual term. Not as bad as Zaddy plus Tanev for a first plus probably topi + more (retention) (why it didnt get done).

Using Hronek as a comparable for Ferraro is laughable. Everything in that comparable favors Hronek and most aren't small margins. From the underlying numbers to the hard numbers where Hronek scores 20 more points a season going into the trade. You'd have to make quite a case for that being the comparable value cause it's not his play making the case for him.

I never said theyre the same player. Hronek is a far better producer.
I am talking about Elliottes reports and probably Griers ask - theres no world where the Sharks move Ferraro for a 2nd + prospect.
The reports are far more knowledgeable than us and its not unwise to assume Grier is looking for a Hronek-esq return.

Elliotte suggested the price to be expensive and Sheng while also being a guy who will offer low ball trades (for the Sharks not the other team) - also concurs it would not be a cheap trade.

Didnt feel like redoing / reverting trades to add more context but thats my thought process.

The problem you have is that Hronek isn't just the better producer, he's the better defender as well. Everything in that comparison between the players favor Hronek heavily .. it's why using him as a comparable is laughable. There is nothing comparable about them when it comes to their play so why would you use them as a comparable for value?
