San Jose might be contending in 5 years for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, odds are their rise would line up with the latter part of our window anyway Vegas and LA could be taking steps back sooner than later too, Vegas ain't getting any younger and neither Kopitar or Doughty will play forever so how LA handles that remains to be seen Anaheim and San Jose should be wagons at some point Edited August 23 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakystink Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) It's a great move for both sides realistically. A true hockey trade for a change but I don't get why everybody thinks Askerov is a game changer. He has a lot to prove but will get a great opportunity and time to do so in SJ. Might take a few years but they are shaping up to be pretty good team in the future. Edited August 23 by Sneakystink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather us be in the throes of potential cup runs rather than wallowing in the basement of the league for 5-6 years hoping it eventually proves worthwhile. We may end up there after this window closes but at least we opened the window to its fullest while we had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top players are in their prime and our prospect pool lacks blue chip prospects after Willander, Lekkerimaki, and maybe Raty, seems management wants to get and get a cup while Hughes and Pettersson are in their primes Sooner or later our lack of blue chip youth will catch up with us if we don't add more, but that's gonna happen regardless of what other divisional teams do Just gotta try and enjoy the ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRocket18 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 What kind of crappy draft condition is that... SJ is going to blow goats... extremely high pick to NASH. Sounds like nash guaranteed a top 10 draft pick in return. Or... it's the 420. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Damn, I would have easily traded our 2025 1st round pick for Askarov. We could have gotten it back after trading Demko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Vegas finishes in the bottom 10 and misses the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is thrun another guy with lots of question marks, I mean we made our back end work with just Quinn drafted but Dickinson ain’t no Quinn, just feel sjs should be hyper focused on adding 2-3 more high end d prospects and imo they become a scary team in 2-3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
