Sharks and islanders ships swap picks and will add the Dallas pick they can still get their guy and we get ours plus they get a second 1st they need assets
Enjoy Misa, Hagens or Martone San Jose, because Schaefer is gone to Islanders. Blame the ping pong balls. Schaefer is going to have a huge impact on the Islanders this coming season or the next. Darche knows TB wins nothing without Victor Hedmen. This kids upside is very high. Special kid Special Story going to be a special NHL player.
What clash? The Islanders will draft Schaffer and the Sharks end up with the better player Michael Misa.
We've entered the era of don't overthink it. I hope. I can understand if the Isles go Misa. He's clearly the lower risk pick with a very high upside. Schaefer might wind up the better player, but the sample size is smaller. And d-men are typically harder to project. So really, this is a risk-reward situation for the Isles.
The Sharks then take the other.
At this point, I'll feel relief when its over and the Sharks didn't reach for something. GMMG has earned the benefit of the doubt and his draft picks have been somewhere between solid to stellar.
As for Smith, Misa and Celebrini all playing center if it winds up that way, sign me up. Roll 3 lines 18+ minutes a night. Its hard to shut down 2 really good lines, much harder to shut down 3. Use the 4th liners sparingly in the close games. The Sharks collection of young wingers is impressive and getting closer to NHL ready.
The use of draft values in a situation with 2 specific players is worthless. Its nominally useful for situations where there are a lot of unknowns. There's nothing unknown in this situation. If the 2 players are nominally equal, then the trade value for moving up is zero.
I think misa will be a 50 goal scorer eventually
Sharks fans that have cooled off on Musty don’t know hockey
Get Misa. Defense is for nerds, and that is a next year problem
It'll be interesting to see if Chicago gets aggressive to try to jump to 1 for Misa. 3rd and 25th get them about 76 points out of that 100. Isles getting a package of pick 3, 35, Moore, and maybe one of Chicago's seconds then draft Hagens would be quite the haul. Chicago seems like the org that might actually do a crazy trade like that with the rumor of how they went after Demidov
