Possibly 2 firsts and a former first round pick for a UFA to be?

If Hertl forced his way here, it would be to play with Pasta not craig smith.

And in what galaxy is Blidh a 3rd line wing

this is why trading debrusk doesnt make a whole lot of sense. that 3rd line gets a lot weaker if you drop haula with foligno and coyle. they either need to get another top 6 forward on the cheap like a kessel if they trade debrusk or they need to keep debrusk after acquiring a top 6 center.

Flip Smith and Pasta. Other than last nights blow up, those top two lines have seemed to work. Put Haula on Coyles left wing, keep Foligno on the right wing. Third line should be lazar, nosek, steen

Don’t try and give the illusion that DeBrusk is worth a 1st because he was drafted there years ago

Sharks want a prospect for Hertl not a 3rd liner

Was not attempting to convey Debrusk's value as a first at all. But that is a ton to pay for a possible UFA to be. Sharks fans need to understand that his NMC is going to kill a lot of his value if he is moved. He can force his way to which ever team he wants to play for and put the sharks office in a tough spot. If he wanted to be a Bruin, he would list Boston and two other teams that have no chance of affording him. Sharks front office forced to take less or don't deal him and possibly lose him in the summer.
