No reason to retain on Sheahan of $900.000 when he's just barely making $2 million as it is. Howard at 50% retention at $2.65 million should return better then a 3rd and 4th round pick. Same way with Green if we're retaining half of Green's salary then we should get at least a 1st round pick and a top D prospect for him

It's my understanding that foote has fallen to a project 12-20 overall. So unless wings really fall in love with him (we will pick between 7-3) than I doubt we take him. Especially with the emergence of hronek as a high caliber rhd prospect

Yeah I agree with removing the salary retention on Sheahan, as far as howard goes I think we might be able to get a second and a third, as for green he could definitely get more.

I think it will either be him or Timothy Liljegren , I chose him because he has good two instinct and good size to, and I think they should draft a defensemen, I think some times a player will rise and fall till the draft, but foote is a good two-way defenseman playing in the WHL which is generally a really defensive junior hockey league.

Which d prospect from san jose would you add into the trade for mike green?

But everyone talks about how bad we need defense. Neglecting to realize we do have some pretty good defense prospects. What we don't have is a solid center prospect outside of Larkin. Actually none with top 6 ability. That's a scary thing for a franchise

Agree on Howard if we retain half of Howard no reason we can't get a 2nd and 3rd rounder for him, And Green should net us a 1st and good D prospect at $3 million pretty much think of the Yandle trade here.

Not sure don't really know all that much on San Jose's D prospects. Though Mike Green would be a solid add to the Sharks blueline.

Totally agree that we've some pretty good D prospects in our organization. I would definitely be concentrating on the center position in this years draft and add more to our blueline here.
