Leafs pass. We need a true top 3 dman upgrade. Our defensive depth is actually quite good. If we trade for POJ, we would need to put one of our other guys on waivers to make it work. It just doesn't make sense to me. Value isn't bad though, I just don't think it makes sense right now.

Sharks accept quickly with the one caveat that you can drop the prospect and have a 3rd team take care of the retention for a mid round pick. I think it's about $500k in real money you're asking for in retention.

Hoffman is cooked by the way.

Hoffman and Karlsson are mortal enemies, trade isn't going to happen.

that's one way to make the pens worse

O'Connor is a better hockey player than Hoffman.

That Sharks deal is so awful

I also don't think Puljujarvi plays in the NHL this year, his AHL tape hasn't been strong.
