WildCard Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 How do you know he loves the area? There's a similar position on The Stadium Wall regarding Kirk Cousins. Someone says he likes Buffalo and has ties there. Where did that come from? I posted the quote and clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Anything good they'd send? I really am done with picks I understand where you are coming from, but the prospect pool really could use some refreshing particularly on defense and the back half of the first round has defensive depth. Here are their Top 5 Prospects per NHL.com https://www.nhl.com/news/san-jose-sharks-prospect-watch/c-290741928 Wouldn’t mind a trade with the Ducks either https://www.nhl.com/news/anaheim-ducks-prospect-watch/c-290517752 Although montour isn’t moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbert11 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I've said before that I think the landing spot for Kane is the Sharks. I'm sticking to it. Sharks definitely having trouble scoring goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) They're heavy on right wing. I'd take Timo Meier.

His absolute and total awareness of other players' positions on the ice is a testament to his incredible knowledge of the game. Roy possesses the intangibles of maturity and character that can't be taught, as well as the individual skill that turns heads every time he is on the ice. All-in-all, a highly intelligent defenceman that plays high-percentage hockey and is a catalyst for positive plays in all three zones. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014) When talking to scouts about Jeremy Roy, the name Duncan Keith often shows up in the same sentence; the offensive and defensive traits embodied by the Chicago Blackhawks star defenseman seem to be akin to what the young Roy aspires to. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=151150 Edit: Never mind, the guy has a horrendous injury history Granted I know nothing about him outside of this report, but Meier sounds a little too slow/old school for me. Not enough speed and raw offensive talent we need A physically dominant winger with the ability to play in a skill or character role. In the offensive end, Meier is very aware and gets himself into spaces where he can easily make seeing eye passes or snap hard, accurate shots. Can impact the game in a number of different ways, and is very consistent in his efforts. All-in-all, the kind of versatile player who you can put on a skill line, and trust to create dangerous chances, or on a shutdown line, and trust to help stop pucks from going into your net.

I have no complaint with either to be honest. I haven't seen Meier skate in over a year because I don't follow them much after they get drafted unless I really like them (Boeser for example). I will add that Norris played with Tkchuck for team USA and they had some chemistry together. Could trade for Morris, add in Tkachuk at the draft and have a very interesting dynamic there.

jsb Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Not to pick on anyone in particular but of these past few posts on what we'll get for Kane.......... He's the 7th leading scorer for LWs in the league and has over 40 goals in the past calendar year. Plus he's in the prime of his career. I'll be very disappointed in Botts if he only gets what some of you have posted, Andersson who's accomplished nothing so far and Bennet who's a bigger bust than Samson??? There better be another prospect (Valimaki??) included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you sell rentals, you take what you can get. I hope people understand that Kane's return, despite his play this season, is not going to be huge.

I like Valimaki a lot though I think Bennett has potential but def a risk. Kane replaces him on the LW though so it makes sense. Plus we retain 50% of Kane's salary and take on Bennett's small salary. Numbers are close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
