We would be in for another disappointing season

This team isn't any better than what we currently have

I don't disagree...but with limited cap space who do you think SJ should target?

A lot of Sharks teams go for Killorn. Recently, I've seen a lot of teams go for Tatar. I've gone for Johnsson and we could get cheap help on the right side with Kapanen and Anderson.

Trade route absolutely looks for viable in my opinion. I think Johnsson could be had for the cheapest and would make a good addition! Killorn too with Tampa being so cap-strapped.

Killorn would be my personal favorite. Could probably get him with Colorado's 2020 2nd and Washington's 2020 3rd.
Our top 6 could be

Kane-Coututre-Meier
Killorn-Hertl-Labanc

Johnsson is a good option too, wouldn't love him in our top 6 though, If he played 3rd line LW that would be great

Tatar and Kapanen would probably be best, but a trade for them would start with a 1st which we shouldn't be trading away right now

Anderson is also a good option, but like Johnsson, I wouldn't want him in our top 6 but him playing as a 3rd line RW would be great

Well said, I agree! I wonder if SJ could afford both Killorn & Johnsson...

Dont sign Leivo, dont give Kellman so much. Sign Noesen to min on the bottom line. Hopefully trade Sorenson. Then you would have more room to play with

Probably

Like I said Killorn would probably cost Colorado's 2020 2nd and Washington's 2021 3rd

We could probably get Johnsson for Sorensen and Pittsburgh's 2021 3rd

If we really were trying to contend, we might be able to get Anderson for our 2021 3rd and Chekovich, although we might have to add a little more
Our forward squad could be

Kane-Couture-Meier
Killorn-Hertl-Labanc
Johnsson-Thornton-Anderson
Kellman-True-Gambrell
