Whats the logic here from Pitts? They are going to pair up Malkin-Crosby more often? Or are they hoping Hornquist is going to go full Kunitz? | ||

So, Josh Ho-Sang isn't even predicted in the 1st round, but can you really justify letting that kind of talent go when you have a 20-30th pick? We'll see. If Detroit doesn't pick McCann I hope he drops to 20, so the Sharks can pick him. | ||

Looks like the rumours were correct that the Sharks were high on the US players (all 3 picked already). | ||

If they wanted the control they shouldn't have put that in his contact. It's not kesslers fault that the management has traded away there assets for nothing and given them all no trades so they can pick where they want to go. Now they are stuck with enough talent to be bad but not horrible. With a guy like burrows and so on maybe it's karma, or karma from the riot. But Van can blame no one but themselves, they have shot themselves in the foot over and over. You should be damn happy the new GM is at least acting instead of waiting till all he get is a bag of pucks and a used jock. Gillis was a terrible GM, but most players of Kesler's calibre get NTC's. If Gillis is an idiot for doing that, then pretty much every GM in the league is an idiot. With a guy like Burrows it's karma? You have no idea what you're talking about. | ||

No Trade Clauses are basically a players way of choosing where he wants to go if he finds his current team unsuitable for any reason. And alot of players do just that. Even GM's know this. They tried to make NTC/NMC not legal for NHL contracts in the last CBA negotiations. the NHLPA wouldn't have any of it. | ||

I don't get the Garrison trade though. Seemed kinda pointless. The Neal trade blows. It's a 250k real money savings and 750k in cap savings for a Hornqvist, who is a decent player, but a couple notches below neal. Spaling is a very average third liner with little upside. Doesn't get buried with his minutes, but wasn't playing anything particularly hard either, which will change in Pitt, esp with no more Neal to lighten the load on Malkin and Sid. Not really giffted offensively. I would think that trading a player of Neal's level would net more than a top 6 winger and an average third liner. They probably should have wrangled a decent prospect out of that. | ||
