Sorry but on what planet is a guy who scores .34 PPG and zero in 5 playoff games signed for long term at 4.8 mil worth anything let alone a 2nd???

The 2nd needs to be on the other side to dump that contract

There is a 0.0% chance San Jose pays the 33rd overall pick for that contract. To be honest the pick is going the wrong way

I think you accidentally put a 2nd rounder where “future considerations” should be.

Even FC is overpayment imo

still has more playoffs games than all Sharks combined this season

even though he's a bum, he'd fit there. No bottom teams should get pick for taking KK lol

Then keep them, because no bottom team is gonna wanna get a waste of a cap hit just help you guys out.

Ask for fit right in sharks were a contender for 20 freaking years before they went into this rebuild. It’s not like we’ve been a bottom dweller constantly

I think there is a scenario where SJ takes a 23 year-old #3 overall for a 5th if the Canes retain 50%. Then again we already have a Zadina. Which also goes to show the Sharks just can't resist giving a wayward 2018 1st rounder a home for awhile since they punted on Merkley.

But that M-NTC at the backend...yeeesh.

I’ll give you if you buy him out we might give him a one to $1.5 million one or two year deal to see if a change of scenery is better but we ain’t taking on that contract in full. No one is.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "no one is" . With the cap going up to projected 92m by 2025 a 4.8m hit would make someone look pure genius if he figures things out and becomes a compitent mid-6. If he doesn't, his buyout cost is quite reasonable. Someone, including his current team will see that as a worthwhile risk.

It’s a RISK. But just like the sharks taking Granlund on to help facilitate the Karlssson trade, sometimes things work out really well with players like him. But honestly, I only see him being dealt if it’s a package with other players and he is used as a quasi-cap dump to open up cap space.
