Adds 3 players by trade to aid in the playoffs in 2019. Likely there will be injuries (jumbo among others), so adding these three gives the 4 line depth)
Then in 2019-20, the sharks would have at least 9 (or 10) players with at least 15-20 goals as Dzingel had 23 last year. Ferland had 21. Panik had 14 last year, with 22 the year before. They wouldnt have the superstar paower that adding a seguin or panarin might provide but...
Meier, hertl, Pavelski, Kane, Couture, Ferland, and Dzingel all had 20+ last year.
Tierney, panik, and donskoi had 17, 14, and 14 respectively. Labanc had 11.
That's 10 forwards with at least 14 goals, and 11 in double digits. If Suomela/Balcers can put up 10 this upcoming season, then theyd have ALL 12 forwards in double digit goals!!!
not to mention that every forward will be 30 or younger except for pavelski (cooch is next oldest at 30.) And every other forward would be between 23 to 28, Exactly in their prime.
And with that depth and age up front, they would have ample trade bait if they needed help on D.
