Ritchie is basically worthless to take on. He has a great buyout next summer. For that price, I'd just drop the Mrazek part entirely and stick to acquiring Hertl. Mrazek isn't a negative asset, he's got a good run of stats. You'll argue he's usually injured and I'm just going to say taking on LTIR money is worthless too. Move one of the Toronto defensemen for cap space and they can take on Hertl at 50% and cut out most of this crap.

I read it. It's still a massive overpay. Leafs easily decline.

fair enough

that’s fair, sharks don’t love this either but we surly
wouldn’t take less

You and Windjammer are something

what? Sharks do not want to trade either player, they are both Valuable assets, and your asking us for 50% retention.
none of that comes at a. discount.

Hertl rental and a back up goalie doesn’t bring you the equivalent of 3 first round pick and two 2nd round picks lol

ok! then we keep the two players who we like a lot and do t want to trade!

And Hertl walks as a UFA, bad assets management

Hertl has said he wants to stay in SJ and it's Home.
we should have no issue resigning him as long as Kane is gone.

If he extend there fine, but if you are about to lose him, trade him
