Description

Prime 100 point Erik Karlsson is decent. For San Jose to pay him $21 million to not play for them, not sell tickets to their games or merchandise costs A LOT - Hence the trade is for an excellent Top 4 D, a prime D prospect a middling Forward prospect, a 1st rounder (20-32 overall) and PHI 2nd (33-40 overall). Its a steal!

Sharks can then flip Pesce to a team looking for RHD and pushing. Could make it Jokiharju and a 1st tbh, but lets not be greedy

At no point did San Jose ever have Prime Erik Karlsson. That was in Ottawa

LMAO, what? San Jose have almost 0 leverage. EK wants out, San Jose are rebuilding, and there are other RD options including, oh hey look Brett Pesce!. If San Jose want any major return for him at all, they're eating half his contract, and they sure as hell ain't getting Nikishin

But how much of that return is for retaining 5+ mil x 4 years. Seriously, take EK and the rest out of it. What is the market value to retain 20mil+ over 4 years? Now whatever answer you came up with, deduct that from SJS return.

NYI paid CHI a 2nd rd pick to dump Bailey 1yr x 5 mil. In the trade scenario above, deduct the equivalent of four 2nd round picks. What do you have left?
