Shark trade isn't horrible but the value is off by a good margin. We need more than that considering what we're being asked to give up.

Welcome to CapFriendly!

As you've already learned in this thread, San Jose fans think that Tomas Hertl = Leon Draisaitl. In fact, I think that you have constructed one of the better trades involving Hertl and the 8th overall pick that has appeared on this site, and I would guess that there have been at least a dozen since June 1. To me, 8th overall = Hertl plus the San Jose second (34th overall) and Montour = Labanc, more or less. The problem I see is that with Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns on that side, San Jose doesn't need Montour. Unless the Sharks trade Brent Burns to Dallas, as @RawZuccSauce420 has suggested in the past day or so. In that instance, and in conjunction therewith, this trade looks a lot better.

I think that even on bridge deals, Olofsson and Ullmark get a little more, and I'd think a little harder about signing Johan Larsson instead of Girgensons. ? @littlejerryseinfeld ?

Rationale for adding montour is that he played the left side a little bit last season and besides 88 and 65 SJ has nothing on defense.
I would take Larson over Girgs but the rumor around town is that he doesn't want to resign, I was operating on that assumption.
Overall I agree tho
