For 1 year of Pasta? That’s a bad trade…

We did a trade with a similar structure in the past and it didn’t work out well

If Pasta said he wanted to be moved i would have a hard time not liking this deal. Send him to the west coast out of conference and get Eklund back who would pair really well with Lysell. The only thing is I would assume the Pastrnak extension conversation would happen after the draft so that pick may end up being 2023.

I know the Pasta rumors have no real foundation but I think it's a fair offer. Pasta with Hertl is too tempting...

(Karlsson?)

I agree - I think if it went that way this would be a deal the bruins would have to look hard at. Eklund could be really really good.

Honestly Id rather have Eklund

So would I. But with all the sharks fans/writers talking about getting Pasta, this is what it would take probably.

Why are the sharks moving the best prospect they have had in a decade for a rental?

Obviously he would be re-signed. Eklund is not a better prospect than Timo. Weird comment.

Yes he is, Eklund was top 5 in most rankings. Timo was top 15 in his, don’t think anyone had him top 10

Timo was in the deepest draft since 2003 and maybe ever. 2021 was not a deep draft. I don't project Eklund to be as valuable a player as Timo, unfortunately.

100% agree with this statement. but this deal is BAD this forces either Meier out or we give up a gigantic piece of our future for 1 year of Pasta and this isn’t a cup worthy team that justifies the deal. even with the Seguin for Burns deal thrown in.

This sucks ass for the Sharks

have you ever had your ass sucked? It's pretty good.

This doesn’t seem like a good move for the Sharks. Does it push them into contender territory? I don’t think so and it stretches out the rebuild for another couple of years beyond what it could be

I am aware of this this is purely an example of what it would take to get Pastrnak. A lot of sharks media and fans have been talking about wanting to get him this summer and this is the reality of the price.I wouldn't do this if I were GM. I vastly prefer Eklund, Wiesblatt and our 11th OA
