Kapanen being overrated here. He's gonna be a good one too.

Fixed.

Vlasic is one of the best shutdown D in the league. JVR isn't even close to enough to get him.

With that said, I don't view the Sharks window as closed and I don't think the Sharks do either. Even with Marleau and Thornton on the wrong side of 35, the Sharks still have a prime Vlasic, Burns, Couture, and Pavelski. These players can be built around for a few more chances at a run. While I think Edmonton is a great team and will be a true threat for seasons to come, I don't think they are better than the Sharks are THIS YEAR. The Sharks released their injury list and it's pretty bad.. Thornton with a torn ACL/MCL, Couture with two face fractures, Hertl with a broken foot, Marleau with a broken thumb, Donskoi with a separated shoulder.. no wonder they couldn't hang.

Sharks will be right back in the fold next season with a retooled roster (Look at Ward, Boedker, Martin, etc. being the ones shipped out)

I'm not even sure if trading for a LHD makes sense. Has he ever played the right side? I'd prefer Vatanen/Hjarmasonn anyways.

But IMO it does make sense for you guys.

JVR, Leipsic for Vlasic makes sense.

SJ needs to get rid of a D regardless because of the expansion draft. JVR is a 1st line player who gets 60 points and is capable of scoring 30 goals. It would shore up that weak Left side on the Sharks.

Liepsic is a very nice prospect who is getting the short end of the stick due to all the rookie forwards. He's NHL ready and just needs his chance. It would help you guys get younger.

Maybe the Leafs throw in a 3rd

But either way due to the fact he's a LHD I wouldn't do it

Tanev for Kapanen + 1st.

Leafs need a rhd.

We don't want Tanev

You have one of the best offensive defensemen in the league plus one of the best defensive d-men on the same team... Pretty sure you hang onto those... I also don't think their window closes with Joe and Marleau, who knows? But I think they're still a playoff team without them.

Can we stop talking about trading Nylander please?

Not trying to an a**, but the Sharks aren't trading a #1 Dman for a 2nd line winger. You trade a #1 something you get a #1 something back...prospect,center or whatever.
Think this is just click bait, and if there's any truth to moving Vlasic, the Sharks are going full rebuild and probably let Patty and Jumbo walk.

Since when is Vlasic a #1D?

Since when is a 61 pt rookie with a year still left on his ELC and then is RFA and who draws comparisons to P. Kane worth less than a 30 year old D with one year remaining on his contract?

Sorry guy, but you're the one who is way overvaluing your player. Vlasic is a nice player, but he's nowhere near what you're saying he's worth. You're drunk.

I'm not taking the chance of putting my lips on something after EK.

Tanev for Matt Martin, and you will like it

"Nylander could get it done...

Ya think??? So could Marner or Matthews. Not going to happen. Troll job here.

What no Bozak?
- Scooby_Doo

Nah, probably not after Bozak outscored every Canuck this season and is only making $4.2m

Not much..... Vlasic is not worth a nylander or kapenen.

Pot.... meet Kettle!

Well...if they traded for Vlasic Babs only does the RHD/LHD

Reilly-?
Vlasic-Zaitzev
Gardiner-?

Idk....it dosnt make a whole lot of sense. There are a lot of options for RHD.

Hjarmasonn is who I'd target. He'd be cheaper as well.
- Santo_44

Since you butchered his name, I'm assuming you don't realize that Hjalmarsson is also a LHD...

Pot.... meet Kettle!
- .HOHO.

We should target Orlov.

Problem is he is left handed, so we need to move gards + for trouba or dumba as well

Tanev is a top end shutdown d man. He's exactly what the Leafs need to play with Rielly. Not an offensive minded VATANEN.
