As much as I want Auston to eventually wear teal, this trade is terrible for the Sharks. Losing the lottery pick we have that will be no lower than #3, Smith (who has been neck and neck with Celebrini in the NCAA), and an additional 1st round in 2025 is frankly too grave of a cost and I would absolutely hate for us to give all those hard earned assets up. The Sharks are much, much better off waiting a few seasons (until 2026 at the very least). Until then, this trade is a hard NO.
