Thread: Early Look at Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>What I’d look into:
- trade market for a Karlsson trade
- trade market for Hill
- trade one of Hague/McNabb/Whitecloud
- if Theodore won’t re-sign this summer, do you consider a trade?
- re-sign Marchessault
- let Carrier walk
- re-sign Amadio if possible</div></div>

Seems very risky to trade a top 6 forward like Karlsson considering Stone, Hertl, and Eichel are all perpetually injured. I think Theodore trade would make the most sense and try and pick up a solid middle six forward on a decent contract and then re-sign Marchy.

As a Sharks fan, Stephenson, Marchessault, and Amadio are all guys I think the Sharks should target in Free Agency, but for Vegas I think they need to keep that top 6 as intact as possible. No matter what they're losing a lot of depth and don't have many assets to spend anymore to get a good replacement guy if someone does in fact go onto LTIR

Thread: Offseason
That's a set of wishful thinking trades for certain. The Canes would laugh at that Gibson deal. With Strome and McGinn I'd love to get them off the roster but that much retention will NEVER happen on Strome. McGinn had back surgery so no team is going to take that contract.

I'm not sure how Ned takes an iffy season in PIT at 1.5M AAV and turns it into a 4M AAV contract. That is just setting money on fire by the Ducks.

Travis Boyd will never wear a Ducks sweater. Leason is bigger, better, younger than LaBanc. Both Vaakanainen and Gus Lindstrom are better than Freidman.

Nesterenko is an interesting one. There are three guys in San Diego that I could see winning a roster spot: him, Regenda and Colangelo. To me Nesterenko is the least likely but camp will sort that out. They could also re-sign Groulx but I don't see that as all that likely.
