Meier trade is looking good, Musty looks to be a good player. Next pick is likely a second but that's fine, should be early half of the second round. Would be nice to see Muk become a NHL defenseman. I like Zetterlund as a player, underrated pick up in my opinion.
I didn't like how he traded down in 2022. Bystedt seems to be a high profile prospect, I'm not sold on him but I also haven't seen him play at all. Just seemed to be that they have a long rebuild ahead and there would be lots of time to accrue picks. Also not a big fan of the players picked with the second rounders but again I know very little about them. How good would McGroarty have looked beside Will Smith in the future?
Karlsson trade is a huge win considering the circumstances. Some really good players in the top 15 of this draft. Even if it were to slide to next year, probably a similar outcome.
Namestnikov trades are wins.
Duclair trades are wins. Thompson I think can be a decent player in the future.
Kahkonen trade left something to be desired. Basically turned him into Vanecek and Cooley.
Hertl deal is great for the reasons you listed above.
I like that you bought out Vlasic, now is a good time. Could use that cap to acquire some players from teams looking for cap space to gain more assets. I could see the Sharks having interest in players with lower salary than cap hit like Schmidt, Oshie, Faksab among others.
Future looks good, just going to be awhile before it gets there.
