Not a bad proposal by any means but:
Vegas wins
Sabres are happy
Sharks are indifferent
Here my thoughts to elaborate:
Sabres lose okposo and gain cap space but then they receive a goalie they could use. They basically swap okposo for fleury which is a win for them.
Vegas gains a top 6 centre but also gain long term cap. They move fleury to negate the gained cap so it kinda works. Definitely makes them a cup favourite purely on depth and coutures love for playoffs. Not a long term win but they definitely can beat Colorado and Tampa more then ever now.
Sharks lose couture whose worth a first alone at the least (imo a first and prospect is fitting just due to the term, not a A level prospect; more like a B or C but that’s what you get for a 7 year contract). They take on Okposo who should return a first as incentive alone (likely more compensation then just a single first). So the sharks lose couture and take on a cap dump for a 1st,2nd and a real project in Casey m (who I like btw).
If you were to edit the trade I’d think the sharks need more return. Either 1 A/B/C prospect and a pick varying on that prospect. I’d say if that’s done then everyone wins. Right now the sharks are biting the bullet here and not gaining a lot.
FOR EXAMPLE NOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
If the sharks gained Krebs here that’s alone enough to make this fair. So I wouldn’t add more/ another pick (This makes it very favourable for the sharks tho and tips the scales).
If the sharks gained a more fair prospect that’s about the level of B prospects then I’d say maybe another 2nd or a 3rd depending on the name once again.
Then it becomes a perfect 3 way imo. If we were to sell; sharks start strong and gain long term cap. Sabres get a goalie for now while they plan for the future. And Vegas instantly becomes a stronger cup favourite (and they already were) (Stone, couture, smith, tuch, glass, March, Karlsson, pietrangelo, Theodore, lehner??? That sounds like a super team that can compete with tbl and col).
