<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mikker575</b></div><div>I like the way you thought about it, but it all stands and falls with Panarin signing. Too bad Sharks signed Kane on this huge contract, I remember arguing under some Kane signing A-GM team with a fella who claimed that he deserved it and that the market is set this way. For me comparation point was Pastrnak and given the age and ppg production, it tells me that Kane shouldve been signed for less (well he has physical play, but is inconsistent).

I´m not sure with Karlsson resigning here, and if he stays, I don´t expect him to have such an impact as in Ottawa.

Jones is good goalie, but inconsistent too (especially this year), and Dell is good as backup but when Jones was injured last year and dell had like 7 games in a row, his save percentage dropped, so no he is not a starter for 55+ games.

What is your opinion on Donskoi (especially in comparation to Labanc)? He is a guy worth keeping imo, but it would require more cap.</div></div>

Yeah, I agree with you about Kane. I didnt hate the signing, but I didnt love it either. He is a guy who scores 4 goals in a game, and then disappears for two weeks. In the PO's, he was terrible vs. vegas and while they blame it on injury, he has a long history of injury so that's a problem in itself. His play this year has been atrocious. That said, I still think dougie loves him, and he's not going anywhere. I'm not sure about the patrnak comparison, largly due to age. Kane was a 26 year old UFA, Pastrnak signing his extension as a 22 year old RFA with minimal leverage. I think 7x7 for kane is likely what the market would have given. Im just not sure whether dougie should have been the one to give it. The good news is that 7M will seem alot cheaper 3 or 4 years from now (as the cap rises) and kane will still be 29. I think that's the idea given that he was just 26 when he signed.

Agreed that Karlsson is a key player, but not the unquestioned anchor that he was in ottawa. If he wants to be the bonafide undeniable #1 playing upwards of 30 mins/night, then SJ is not the spot. But if he is OK playing 23-25 mins and a key piece but alongside other top veterans (burns, pickles...), then SJ is a great choice for him. I think winning is fun. If the sharks win alot in the 2nd half, karlsson will be very tempted to sign here. The weather is great. Locker room is great. winning culture is there. Lots to be tempted about and that's why Tavares almost came. Dougie has walked this road with Jones, Kane, Burns, Jumbo, and others, so he knows how to trade for a guy and then woo him once in the organization.

I completely understand the worry about giving dell the keys to the castle. This is clearly the weakest part of the plan, but it's kinda the "go for it" mentality. Could lead to a cup, could be disaster.

Of course, Braun is only dealt if karlsson resigns and jones is only dealt if panarin was signed. If either of those does not happen, then the other trades don't either.

Donkey is a tough call. Im not sure how much he gets on the open market. Could be as low as 2 or as high as 4. Hard to tell the market as he has shows flashes of crazy brilliance and super hands, but is also soft on his skates and has long dry stretches. Bancer seems to have the higher ceiling but is not good defensively and takes bad penalties right now. He's also just 22,23 and plays like an unfinished rookie, while donkey is several years older, clearly more veteran but seems to be hitting a production wall. Personally Id keep bancer over donkey, in case bancer can learn the 200 foot game. If he does, he could be a 24 or 25 year old, putting up 60+ pts at a very reasonable cap hit.

The other X-factor is dougie's annual skill at finding free agents who slot into the lineup each year. 3 years ago, it was donkey and karlsson. Then it was Dell.Then Goodrow. Then it was Simek, Suomela, and Radil. Year after year, he finds free agents out of college, jr's and europe who come in and play a key depth role. It's fair to assume that will happen again next summer, so there could be a key cog in the wheel not listed above.

Sujet: Send Marleau back at any cost?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tatatavares</b></div><div>You come up with that because it feels good, not because it's the most likely.
To get Nylander for less than $7 million, he'll get to become a UFA ASAP -- based on his production and the contracts those near his draft position have recently got.
Even then it's cutting it very close, like I think the league minimum for a veteran is $800,000 now where you have $725,000.
On top of it all, replacing Gardiner with Borgman whether he's earned an NHL spot or not isn't likely to improve the team.

The problem is salary among the forwards, and it has to be resolved at that level.</div></div>

Why on earth would Nylander make 7? Comparable players have him at 6. Pasternak (a better player) makes 6.6. if Nylander is over 6.5 fire the gm
