Draft: (1)Celebrini, (8)Buium, (38) Letourneau, (42) Marques
Off-season trades:
1.) I just saw a coyotes ACGM do it, and if you can get extra picks for that sure, why not.
2.) Move one of our goalies for one with a bad contract, for more assets (in this one im dreaming a little bit because i dont think seattle parts with goyette but the Musty connection is fun)
3.) Seek a 2-3 year center cap dump to play 3C.
4.) Cap dump rebound candidate, rinse repeat.
UFA/RFA Signings:
1.) Smith will be the big question, and he has all the control. If I am the sharks I am trying to sign him. I dont think he has anything left to learn at NCAA level, and the skill level isnt high enough to force him to build NHL habits like a pro league would be (cut towards center of the net, dont take plays off in D-zone). However, he may want to return to win a Natty with Letourneau and Hagens, I do believe he would have to play the whole year without Leonard too who also has the option of turning pro.
2.) Kunin provides something this team lacks, if you can sign him for a few years at a reasonable AAV i dont see why we wouldnt bring him back.
3.) It is very tempting to sign a UFA D-man but I think stick it out one more year and let all three pairs get 20ish minutes a night. If Emberson can stay healthy and Muk plays as a NHL dman that injects a lot of size into our back end (hockey will never beat the homoerotic allegations). Muk also helps us out with our transition issues if he can figure it out, we can always play vlasic if he needs nights off too.
4.) Zadina, Addison, Coe all have arguments to stay for one more year, but I dont think they get qualified. Out of all of them Zadina prolly has the best chance, but I would prefer trying to swap them for some Bona fide veterans. Peterson is going back to Sweden and Maki has been too injury prone that I would prefer Cooley be our number 3
5.) Snag the DUKE from Tampa.
6.) After Musty’s 9 games call up Guschin.
Enjoy more years of mediocrity with Compher and Copp as your matchup centers lol. I was thinking 1st + Copp = Sturm + Stephenson and you are making the playoffs next year instead of folding like a lawn chair like this year.

Calgary keeps there pick
Their*. I just chose a team where the draft pick value added up.

Pretty sure Danielson and Kasper will be our matchup centers. Thanks.
Apparently you don't know a plug when you see it.

Is it worse to not know the difference between "Their" or "There" or "They're"... Or to be ignorant enough to think a single 2nd round pick makes up the difference between picks 8 and 14?

Look up any draft pick coefficient list. 8 is at 7.1 and 14 is 5.2 and 33 is 1.7. But keeeeeeeeep yappin

Copp and Compher weren't this teams problems. Copp has been quite good actually defensively. He might put up more points if he got more than 34% of his starts in the offensive zone. We aren't trading him and definitely not attaching a 1st this year. I like the idea of adding Sturm as a 4th line centre but not in any deal like this. We are also going to need him to help mentor Danielson and Kasper in the future.

You know copp has a NTC and is from Detroit and loves it there, so only way we are getting rid of it is by buying him out

Copp doesb't waive for the Sharks, And we sure as hell aren't giving up no 1st for Sturm who's value isn't worth anymore than a 3rd rounder.
I agree with you on the value of Sturm for sure, the first is more about dumping Copp and covering the cost of Sturm. Copp has a MNTC not a no trade clause, that being said a bottom feed is prolly on his list as well as the Canadian teams. I think JGP from the islanders is another candidate.

This all makes sense, this was based loosely on an athletic article about squad compositions. I do think now is the time to start being ultra aggressive for the wings tho.
Better yet, tell me the last time a team in the top 10 did a pick swap?
I'll save you the time on that one. It was 2008...
Oh noooooooo its only happened once ill definitely be sure to include that in my made up future team lmao. Sharks also did 11 for like 27,34,42 so again value wise it all checks out. I do not know what Calgary’s pool looks like, so this only makes sense if they need quantity over high high end quality, which im not sure is the case. I dont think they have a top pairing D in their system anymore, but Calgary just happened to be in the spot where the value lined up for the picks, I didn’t pick them for any other reason.
True. The Ottawa/New Jersey approach is working very well for Ottawa and New Jersey...
I mean Jersey will likely be a playoff team again next year if they get bang average goal tending and will be a contender if they stay healthy next year and are in a VERY good place for the next 10 years. Ottawa is a different situation, but I think Detroit has a better composed squad. Ottawa and Jersey are very very different situations. I was just thinking Detroit would want to maximize Larkin’s peak years.

This coming from a team that will be last for the next 6 years

It doesn't check out value wise. You can keep telling yourself that 8 for 14 is the same as 11 for 27 though.
Little tip on your pick value charts. Several of the people who made those charts used to grade the high end picks in the 10s or even hundreds of value. They moved to decimal grading because when people figured out that the charts are terribly inaccurate, being off by 4.2 points sounds a hell of a lot better than being off by 42 points.

Detroit's GM won the first of his three Cups at 32. The last team he managed had a Captain winning his first Cup at 30.
Doubt Yzerman is worried about Larkin wasting away before the team is competitive...

Idk if Yzerman has the injury record that Larkin has. But you want to capitalize on your best players years, and there are certainly many many players who are excellent past 31 but most athletes prime years 27-31. We’ll see

I wouldn't say quite yet. We need a few more prospects to actually make it first. We only have 2.5 of Yzerman's picks on the team, that is not enough. Edvinsson is the 0.5 cause hes still fresh on the team. Once we get guys like Danielson, Kasper, Wallinder and Cossa on the team, then we could look at being buyers. But until we know what we got, we should be patient still. Doesn't mean we can't try to improve the team but being "ultra aggressive" likely isn't the best approach.
