Sharks don’t really have a roster spot for Pavs anymore. Our top 6 is set and I wouldn’t give that return for Pavs anyways.

I sub-root for both DAL and CGY... honestly, are these prospects (note, I'm not a prospect genius, but I haven't heard of a single one of them) and a couple 2nd round picks really worth all the trouble? Also, why wouldn't you deal Klingberg if you're rebuilding? I would think that'd be your first trade. Signing him, Robertson, and Oettinger alone brings you right up to the cap pretty much.

I don't think PIT has any long-term need for Faksa. They likely give Faksa's money to Carter.

I'm not sure Radulove will have enough of an impact on CGY to be worth anything anyway. Their depth chart is kind of all over the place right now, but he likely plays 3rd line RW, assuming Monahan breaks out of the doghouse and Dube goes back to wing.

Koskinen and Smith are among the best goalies in the NHL right now. Why would Edmonton spend assets on a 3rd goalie?

Id be interested in Holtby, especially if Francouz stays out longer than expected

Tbh, the Edmonton/Khudobin trade was so popular on this site during the offseason I just kind of went with it here without too much thought. Personally think Dallas should have traded Khudobin when they had the chance this offseason, but that clearly didn't happen

I don't think the trade is terrible, but like @Bias_it_self said, I'm not sure we have a spot for Pavs and I wouldn't trade Bordeleau. So for those reasons, Sharks decline imo.

It is very tempting though.

Ya.... don't think SJ is the team that is going to pay Bordeleau for a rental, even if it is Pavelski. This team just isn't in position to go all in like that.

And since you asked, Bordeleau is the clear #2 prospect in the organization, with a pretty big margin over the rest of the prospects. He'll basically become the organization's top prospect assuming Eklund stays for the whole season (likely).

Appreciate the feedback.

Klingberg's play style is very friendly towards longevity. He's not a physical player at all, preserving his body from a good amount of wear and tear. With all that, I do believe that he would still be a viable top-4 RD in 3-4 years when (hopefully) the Stars would actually be competitive again. That's why I didn't trade him. Even as it stands today, Dallas can sign Robertson, Oettinger, & Gurianov to their next contracts, sign Klingberg to a massive $9.5M per year contract (obviously don't start negotiations here), and still have roughly $7.5M left over in cap space. With this ACGM, Dallas has $27M to sign their RFA's, Klingberg, and fill 4 roster spots. I'm not too worried about cap space moving forward, tbh.

Guys like Bordeleau and Stromgren are solid prospects. Not high end, top prospects, but good enough that they should definitely be able to carve out a role on a 2nd line at some point in their careers. Yoder is a local Texas kid & honestly I just wanted to get rid of Faksa's contract. There are a few Pens fans on here that love him, hence the Faksa to Pittsburgh trade.

The Radulov to Calgary trade was pretty much just a shot in the dark. This was under the assumption that the Flames didn't land Eichel. I figured Radulov would be a useful middle-6 RW for them during the playoff push.

Makes sense. I was high on Bordeleau last season during his draft year, so there was certainly a little bit of bias on my end there. Wasn't aware that he was that highly regarded in the Sharks organization.

This is sheer robbery by Dallas to get Bordeleau. No way does SJ ever do this.

A month ago I'm making the Doby trade.. But Koskinen has been lights out so far and Smith looks good too so I don't think we make this trade, or at least not unless Koskinen walks this summer

You forgot to deal Comeau! We could get a king's ransom for him!!!

I admire the work you put in there. You must be the 4th person to suggest a sell out scenario in last days.

Maybe Radulov could be traded, with 50% retention, to the Canes. He would be perfect for them in a PO run. To make this work in terms of $$$, we could take Ian Cole in return with picks and/or prospects.

i don't mind picking up holtby as a 1B option. But i think there would need to be some retention. Colorado is gonna need all their cap to pay for some depth forwards at the rate they're getting injured

Kuemper isn’t struggling, his play has been good, avs just are dealing with lots of injuries, their pk has been brutal most games,

His stats aren’t sexy but in no way is he struggling. Grubauer leaving and being as bad as he is shows he’s not worth that contract. He’s been given up a lot of soft goals In Seattle

No way in Hell the sharks do that trade. I wouldn’t give up a 2nd for pavs at this point let alone a 2nd, 3rd, and one of their top prospects who won freshman of the year.

You really think it’s tempting? Curious as to why, is it emotional since it’s pavs? To me, this isn’t close to tempting nor close on value.

Maybe a bit over-zealous but I don't mind the idea of bringing Pavs back at 3.5M. Obviously nothing near worth trading Bordeleau for, but it's not something I hate if Dallas wants to move him and we are playoff-bound.

sharks decline

apparently bordeleau is gonna be a stud

I like this a lot. I’m all for keeping Klinger if we’re moving on from Bones. Tho if we are keeping Klinger I’d call it more of a re tool and not a rebuild. As already stated I don’t think Edmonton is in the Dobby market any more and I’m not sure Pitt would still want Fox, but as you said those have been popular trades leading up to the season. Moving those two def makes keeping Klinger easier

I like all these deals from a Stars POV. Personally I don't see the Sharks or Avalanche deals happening simply because of the prospects you picked. IMO I wouldn't trade Holtby. He's played well and is younger than Bishop by 3 years. I'd just buy-out Bishop in the off-season seeing as we should have plenty of cap space.

Including Bordeleau was a bit of a miscalculation on my end, but this whole trade is predicated on Pavelski putting up similar production to what he did last season, which was near PPG production in a Rick Bowness offense.

You wouldn’t even trade a 2nd round pick for a near PPG player if you’re in the middle of a potential deep playoff run?

That’s fair, sharks would have to be contending and I wouldn’t want to trade a prospect or even a 2nd though

Normally a team would be willing to, however I don’t think the sharks can afford that. They are still in this “reset” mode and trading for a rental, specifically an early round pick, isn’t a good idea imo. I do love me some Pavelski and would love to see him back in real but not at that cost.

I get that. I wouldn't really want to trade a 2nd either.

I dont think the Sharks are in the market for a rental at this point. we probably would not need the retention at the deadline but trading better prospects is probably not in the cards but bringing Pavs back for next year would be something I would consider.
