Sujet: Opening Night Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NotDougWilson</b></div><div>Sheng Peng (reporter for the sharks) talked with Quinn and said it's looking bleak for Couture to join them for opening night.

I don't think MacD makes the team either and is put on waivers. Bords stays on until Couture is back. I'm not 100% sure on Burroughs, I guess you can replace him with Knyzhov, but it's tough to figure out who would you rather place on waivers between Knyzhov, Burroughs, Simek (when healthy), and Emberson.</div></div>
Since Couture is out then I agree about giving Bordeleau a shot.

Okhotiuk also seems to be carrying an injury, and Quinn said that Emberson could play NHL minutes.

If Simek is placed on waivers no one claims him almost certainly. It's also questionable whether anyone claims Knyzhov because of his 2 year deal despite the NHL experience.

I also don't think Gawanke will make the roster and will pass through waivers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>Your scope is NOT based on the trade itself if you're taking into account the season he had after the trade and disregard how he was playing before the trade. Also Lorentz was fantastic, what are you tlaking about. And Makiniemi looked pretty good at the NHL level and was good in the AHL considering how bad the Cuda d was last year.</div></div>
The problem with your argument is Burns was playing well with the Sharks, particularly in the season before we traded him. He had no injury history and played huge minutes every night.

Upgrading from Ferraro (who had a disaster season without Burns) to Slavin also made a big difference.

Lorentz was not fantastic. His underlying numbers were fairly pedestrian, so no need to exaggerate.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>riles23</b></div><div>I would love to know why Sharks fans think this contract is good for them? Yes, they have a lot of cap space, but that is because they are rebuilding. How is EK good for a rebuilding team? His value will likely never be higher. Even if the cap goes up next year, EK will be older and likely worse than he was this year, and still with 3 years left at 11.5.</div></div>
Maybe trading Karlsson with $14M retained for a 1st round pick (maybe like 25th overall) plus a bunch of garbage contracts and some B level prospects isn't worth it to the Sharks?

I would say the cap constraint is more of a detriment to the return package than the risk of just letting him play another half to full season. I think you're being too risk averse in your hypothetical asset management here.

Also, I never said the contract is good. Just that many fans like watching him play and management wants veterans around to tutor the young guys. So no need to rush through negotiations to acquire a late 1st, and an expensive one at that.

If you wait until the trade deadline a team may be more willing to trade better assets to acquire him.

Right now the Penguins seem to be the only ones in for him right now. Their fans refuse to trade either of their top two prospects even though they have a bottom 10 pool in the league. I don't know if this reflects how Dubas thinks, but maybe find a team with a deeper pool to trade with if true.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LivingAnew</b></div><div>THIS. All I could do was shake my head in disbelief when that contract was issued. Now, SJS has to bite the bullet. THIS is the year to get rid of him, like the return or not; his trade value is likely better now than it will ever be. If SJS can't accept what's available now in trade, then perhaps the only options remaining are to ride out his contract or buy him out at some point (a la OEL and Vancouver). The thing is, EK65's buyout provisions seem even WORSE than OEL's were!</div></div>
The contract was miserable for years 1-3, but feels extremely palatable now for the Sharks. Karlsson puts butts in the seats and keeps fans interested. He won't have the same season as last year because he has fewer weapons to work with, but under Quinn he will likely have a season resembling the last. Given how they've deployed him he shouldn't revert to the production from the Boughner era. The Sharks current load management plan also seems to be helping him to avoid injuries.

I don't think it's smart to offload Karlsson for a weak package because 1) the Sharks proved they can lose with him 2) the cap space isn't as valuable to them (they already have enough of it) 3) the cap will jump next season so more teams can afford him.
