Sorokin would be a nice get, think Vanecek could be had, Washington doesn't have a 1st and think maybe are 2nd could make them think about it.

Maybe, maybe, Boston 2nd rounder.
Not Our second round pick (that is like a first, lol).

Yeah could try that, always start with the least amount

So what is the holdup, you think. The fact that what we pay for a goalie has to be more than which player they lose in expansion draft is worth it?

Example:

Goalie A (expected to be taken in expansion draft)
Traded for a 4th round pick (or something)

Now Skater B is taken in expansion draft, what is his value to other team.

who knows the way they handled the goalies last season

maybe a deal is in place for ullmark

Speaking of Boston. Do they have to protect swayman?

No, he's not eligible

Ok. That was my next question. Thanks

No chance the isles trade sorokin he had a slow start but really caught on and can be a franchise goalie

They would trade varlamov before

allen, one of washingtons goalies, sorokin

I don’t mind the concept of getting a goalie. But if you are trading Eichel and co, planning on sucking as Gerbe says for wright (no reason to disbelieve that), do we wanna spend assets on a goalie this season that could steal enough games to push us out? If you are doing that just trout out houser, play games 6-4, open style, let the forwards gain confidence, then go after a goalie next offseason(s)

Think hart could be available ?
They have 2 kids in sandstrum & ersson
Coming up
I think they will go veteran goalie this year

Honest questions, how can you can gain confidence if you're always fishing pucks out of your own net? How can you buy into a vision that is based upon losing?

Yeah, DONE with tanking.

I understand. Just don’t want to middle ground it, that’s all. Finishing 6 worst isn’t good for the psychological makeup either. Don’t think the Sharks go “at least we aren’t Buffalo” when talking about last season.

Yeah, DONE with tanking.

It’s pretty much happening next year if our trades go through so…

Yeah, DONE with tanking.

I get this also. If you trade Eichel, Sam, and Risto, unfortunately you are

I rather draft a goalie with that 2nd. I’ll trade Risto for one now though

Philly does like giving up on goalies too soon too. 😉

What if it’s with dignity?

I'm with ya. Go young and grow with your peers under meatballs and co. However, finishing sixth-worst is an improvement in Buffalo and shows progress.

Or it gets us more Ristos.. Honestly blueprint is out. Need a couple top 3 picks, can supplant with 8/12s (Nylander types) and be good at drafting a couple later rounds.

Hearing Risto extension 3 years 3.5M
