It's going to cost significantly more than a pick in the middle of the 2nd to move from 30th to 14th overall.

I must’ve picked the wrong pick. My thinking was 30 and 47 move up to the 16-20 range. Thought the pick was in the range. Sub in any team in that range

It would most certainly take more than that. Likely two 2nds. And Sharks are not the team to move down

You can probably get Hutson in your own pick range.
Detroit says no thanks. Trouba to Detroit make some sense but he's expensive and has trade protection. I don't see us paying much, if anything at all for him at his full cap hit. We can sign one of the multiple free agents or just run it back, which is not ideal of course. I would love to take a chance on Kakko but this deal as it stands is not great for Detroit.

My reasoning on Detroit trade was based on other posts where I’ve seen Trouba for petry and a 3rd with his full cap hit. I thought that Kakko has slightly more value than Rasmussen so trouba 2024 4th and Kakko for Rasmussen petry and a 2nd was pretty close. But the only way I see it altering is maybe 1 mill retention on trouba or remove the 2nd pick and no retention. Can I get your thoughts?

I would do that for Farabee personally think that’s a solid offer

The flyers trade: value is close to fair I think, maybe even a little favoring flyers. But context is off so won’t happen—flys have enough young LD bottom 3s, Farabee contract is very favorable so no need to dump him off for a younger unproven winger, and you’re the f**king rangers go f**k yourselves

We like Ras and just extended him. On a contribution point, I think Ras and Kakko would be about equal. I will agree that Kakko might hold more value based on what would likely be a higher potential. But in terms of what we get, we are basically paying a second to dump Petry but take on a more expensive Trouba. I consider that an upgrade but as of right now the forward would be a slight downgrade potentially, it's really hard to compare the two players.
I really like the idea of Trouba to Detroit but the deal has to be right for us. I don't know if this is it. We fill one hole to create another with worse cap implications and pay on top.

Thanks for the clear explanation. I see your point. I feel Detroit feels right for Trouba but then again it’s a business first
