Email
PrintWith two earth-shattering trades completed yesterday, expectations are high for the NHL Draft. As is the norm around this time of year, there are rumors and speculation flying at a rampant pace indicating Player X is being looked at by Team Y, and Team Z is looking to move up in the draft in order to acquire a promising prospect they covet.
Here is a rundown of the moves and speculation over the last twenty four hours. We will update this as news breaks.
- Philadelphia trades Mike Richards to Los Angeles in exchange for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, and a 2012 second round draft pick.
- Philadelphia trades Jeff Carter to Columbus in exchange for Jakub Voracek, a 2011 first round pick, and a 2011 third round pick.
- Colorado trades John Michael Liles to Toronto in exchange for a 2012 second round draft pick.
- Robyn Regehr has, for the time being, denied a trade to the Buffalo Sabres. Numerous teams are interested in his services, with Darren Dreger stating yesterday that the San Jose Sharks are involved in talks.
- Los Angeles trades Ryan Smyth to Edmonton in exchange for Gilbert Brule and a fourth round pick [link].
- Chicago trades Troy Brouwer to Washington in exchange for their 2011 first round pick.
Will the Sharks hold on to their first round selection tonight? Do they make a trade to acquire a number two defenseman? Is there a deal brewing out there that will blow your socks off?
Tune in tonight on Versus to find out.

Please let these Regehr to the Sharks rumors be true....

I'm on the other side
Wish he’d accepted the deal to Buffalo!
I just don’t think he’s the type of player the Sharks need—I like more well-rounded defensemen and thought White, despite not being a player without flaws, is a solid prototype for what the Sharks need to add to their blueline.
The principal supporting business now is rage. -- Richard Hugo
We’re looking for a partner for Boyle, and a guy like Regehr is exactly what he needs.
I didn’t like the idea of Regehr originaly because i assumed he’d take a Kings ransom to acquire (Pavelski), but he is starting to leave his prime and he only has 2 years left on his contract so maybe we can get him for picks and prospects.
He’s barely a step up from Murray…plays around 21 min a night and his advanced stats aren’t great. He was awesome a couple of years ago…not so much now.
He may be just starting to leave his prime, but he’s been playing on a non playoff team for the past couple years. I think he steps his game up playing for a cup contender; i mean he’s only 31.
He’s definitely an upgrade over Murray, and hes only got a 4 mill cap hit with 2 years left on his contract.
Calgary missed the playoffs last year…
But, whatever, I don’t think Regehr is enough of an upgrade on Murray to give up assests for and I don’t think trading Murray is a good idea.
His advanced stats look pretty good to me. He has the 3rd highest Qual Comp and 6th highest Corsi relative to Quality of Competition.
Check the GF/60 and GA/60 as well as his PK stats. He’s definitely the shutdown guy on the Flames but he plays w/ a very, very, very good d partner in Bouwmeester. JBo is heads and shoulders better in the d-zone than Boyle.
lol Nick Lidstrom is only 2 spots ahead of Regehr in +/-/60, so what does that tell you?
I’m most interested in his qual comp and corsi relative to qual comp, and Regehr is one of the best in the league in both those stats.
He ended this year better than I realized, apparantly he bounced back a bit after 2 aweful seasons…still not interested. He’s not mobile and has zero offensive capabilities. Two things the Sharks D is sorely missing.
He’s definitely more mobile than Murray, and he has a very good point shot that Murray doesn’t have.
It’s a clear upgrade imo. I don’t see that we have many better options. We could get into a bidding war with Pitkanen, but we’ve never won a bidding war before, and for good reason.
I said he’s an upgrade to Murray, I just don’t think it’s enough of an upgrade to give up assets for – it would also likely mean Murray going somewhere else.
There’s still 3 months ‘til the season starts, Regehr isn’t the only guy avail.
That’s my thinking. I wouldn’t mind Regehr and would welcome him with an open mind, but is he worth it? $4 million for two more years and the trading of likely important assets?
Obviously the free agent pickings are fairly slim, but if we’re talking trade, there might be a whole group of guys out there we haven’t even considered yet. The price for defensemen is high, but I wonder if we’d be selling ourselves short with Regehr.
The principal supporting business now is rage. -- Richard Hugo
Regehr IS a top pairing defenseman. He may look similar to Murray stylistically since theyre both big physical defenseman who lay on hits and block shots, but Regehr has a lot more of that defensive savvy needed to shut down talented players at the highest levels. He’s also much more mobile than Murray and has a good shot from the point.
Regehr’s really an ideal defenseman to play with Dan Boyle imo, at least for the next couple years.
I totally get what you’re saying and in some ways agree. I guess I’m just of the mindset that we don’t need more one-way defensemen, basically. But the obvious problem there is that those guys are highly coveted.
If we can get Regehr without giving up any important roster players or top prospects, I’d be okay with it. I like the thought of having one fairly offensive-minded defenseman on each pairing (Boyle, Demers, and Braun—ironically all on the right side), but it does still seem a bit limiting.
The principal supporting business now is rage. -- Richard Hugo
How often does a legitimate number two defenseman come along? Not often. If you can acquire Regehr and not give up Pavelski or Setoguchi it’s a clear win. His advanced stats are excellent for a player playing on a non playoff team.
With all of the issues San Jose had with holding leads this year, acquiring a defensive first blueliner is huge. He’s not sexy, but he gets the job done, and is a huge upgrade over Murray.
I understand the trepidation I guess, but clearly disagree.
"Now get on board going down the river float, we gonna raise a ruckus tonight" - OCMS
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
That’s exactly how i feel.
He wasn’t a sexy option for me, and i didn’t want to trade for him assuming it would take Seto or Pavelski, but if we can get him without giving up anything that would hurt our cup chances this year i’m all for it.
I would be all for adding Regehr
He would be like Murray Plus. Say what you will about Murray’s speed, but more often then not he gets the job done. Adding a better version of that to play with Boyle, and moving Murray down the depth chart seems to make sense to me.
GO SHARKS!
Just noticed the lines at MGM
Philly before yesterday was 8/9-1 and the Kings were 15-1. Looks like the teams will be flip flopping odds.
"I play hockey for the love of the game. Even more than the money, a chance at hoisting the best trophy in all of sports"
And with the 28th pick, the San Jose Sharks choose...
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins!

Do not want Regehr...
My “predictions”
Sharks take C. Murphy, Miller or Jenner if they keep the #28th pick.
Trade up to draft Duncan Siemens, if he falls into the late teens.
Trade the 28th for an earlier 2nd and take both Lucia and Clendening in the 2nd round.
I learned from MCC that no matter what happens, it will be the wrong thing
And that I should be prepared to throw myself down stairs.
Bingo

Signing a poo-poo platter of 4 more guys that cost $750,000 each really isn’t going to cut it.

RIP Atlanta Thrashers. Welcome to the NHL, Atlanta Thrashers of Winnipeg.
Generally in lower levels of hockey, the best players are always stuck at center. Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of these folks on the wings.
Lots of teams are lacking good centers.
In fact, San Jose was, at one point, endlessly lauded for its otherwise rare depth at center.

Signing him makes him tradeable though.
And the more I think about it, the more I realize that the Sharks would in no way be willing to pay $3mil a year for a player like Setoguchi. Minnesota lives firmly under the cap, and can afford to pay big bucks for a Seto.
Still, the team needed Coyle, and I still have no idea who Brent Burns is. Sharks must have another trade brewing.

I expect he’ll still be paired with Boyle. Unless you want to go with Vlasic/Boyle.

He’s going to be paired with Boyle. I don’t know much about Burns but if i recall he’s a 1-3 type player and reading around it seems that he may not be a total shutdown player but he is an all around player like say Lidstrom.
Upgrade over Murray even with his style not being shutdown, so that’ll make our pairings:
Boyle/Burns
Vlasic/Demers
Murray/Braun
I then see DW making a splash in the UFA market for a forward to replace Seto, maybe even overpaying for Laich or Tanguay.

The only reason I personally see it as overpayment is that Burns’ contract only has 1 year left, where Seto is on a fresh 3 year, so no matter what Seto is locked into them for a while, but for us and Burns, he could decide to test free agency next year and we’ll have lost our top prospect.
If Burns had 3+ years on his contract, I think the trade would have been ok (though still not desirable to lose Coyle).

This seems like a very good deal to me. Setoguchi is the guy everyone’s wanted to trade for a defenseman anyway. Coyle seems to be overrated by people on this board, and who knows who’ll even be left at 28. Seems awesome to me.

Except Couture is up next year too. So the problem becomes unless the rest of the people DW gets (with the exception of maybe a single 4 mil player) are signed to just 1 year deals, he could lock too much salary up to resign both Couture and Burns.
As Todd said, people are flipping out about overpayment, but in my mind the only reason it is overpayment is simply because Seto is on a fresh 3 year deal and Burns only has 1 year left, so we could have paid a lot for a short term player. If DW can work out an extension like he did with Niemi then all is well.

Guys, this draft is probably the weakest in recent years. It’s a crapshoot after the top 15 or so.
That said, this trade took GUTS
Burns is an All Star and gives the Sharks what they need. This is exactly what the Sharks needed. Who KNOWS what Coyle will be like in a few years? And this pick…in a deeper draft, I’m sure it would have meant more but I think that the player the Wild get with this pick would normally be selected in the second round or so in a deeper draft.

Except I personally don’t think he was. Hamilton became it after his last season, and then the explosive development of Sgarbossa (though why they let Varone walk I don’t know) put him into a top 5 spot too.
Coyle is highly touted because he made World Juniors and did well there etc etc, but quite frankly the college system plays too few games for us to get solid numbers and performance projections for him. He was developing into a solid power forward, and our team LOVES those.
But Burns IS that top 3 Dman we’ve been wanting (though not the shutdown specialist most looked to).
The only problem with the trade is that Burns only has 1 year left on his deal, and so we gave up a solid amount of stuff, and if Burns opts for free agency we could get fucked.
WJC top performer. The Sharks haven’t had one of those in well, ever. Plus most “2010 draft in hindsight” analysis has him as a top 10-15 pick. He basically could be a better skating Clowe.

It’s one year of Burns, barely better than a trade deadline rental. Do you think trading for Campbell was a good idea? Because we paid over 3 times the price we did for Campbell for Burns and he can leave at the end of the year. (If an extension has basically been negotiated with Burns already, then I’m actually ok with the trade.) I’d like the team not to turn into Flames as Thornton and Marleau age. Plus cheap depth is essential to keeping teams good. Coyle would likely be a top 6 forward on a cheap contract for a few years.
Who says its only one year of burns?

Yes, trading for Campbell WAS a good idea. His addition immediately made the team better. It isn’t the Sharks’ fault that another team absurdly overvalued him and offered him an INSANE 8 year deal of 7.1 a year. Campbell jumped from 1.75mil to 7.15mil. A normal bump would have been to 4.5 and the Sharks more than likely made such an offer and if he had resigned at the non insane level, then the trade would have been seen by everyone as a total steal.
He also came in at the deadline, so he didn’t even play a full season with teh Sharks, so of course that he left he was viewed in hindsight as a flop of a trade. But him being there helped the Sharks progress in the playoffs to what i recall to be the 2nd round.
Burns is going to have a full year with the Sharks to not only work into the system but get to love the team and the city to WANT to resign. If he doesn’t, then itll be another flop. Unless he helps them win the cup.
Let me clarify
It’s not that I think Charlie Coyle sucks…it’s that Brent Burns is REALLY REALLY GOOD. And 26. And gigantic.

Coyle was almost universally recognized as being better than what pick he was drafted at. At the time everyone was pissed b/c we didn’t draft Etem, but after a while people started talking about how Coyle was better than most people thought.

I feel way better about this trade now.
Setogouchi? Easily replaceable
Coyle? Wouldnt even be putting on an NHL uniform for at least anoter 3 years and in that 3 years Sharks can replace him with another prospect.
As for this years first pick who knows if it woulda been a bust or a gem. Only time will tell but with DW im more excited to see who he picks in the 5 6 and 7 rounds than the first.

I can't believe that so many people don't know who Burns is.
If this was Yahoo, I might believe it, but FTF? He is great. Good pickup, but I also think we overpaid with both Coyle and Seto. One would have been enough. Then again, I’m no DW.

Burns Pairing
Why is everyone assuming he will play with Boyle? Burns is very much an offensive defenseman, a talented one at that, but is prone to turnovers and poor positioning defensively. At least 5 on 5, it makes more sense to pair him with a guy like Vlasic. Would agree with the sentiment that we overpaid. Minnesota has been looking to move Burns for sometime, and realistically didn’t expect to get him re-signed. Setoguchi will likely start on the top line for Minnesota, don’t understand why Coyle had to be thrown in too. Late 1st rounder in a weak draft? That I have no problem with. DW also picking up a 2nd in next year’s draft, which is reputed to be the strongest draft since 2003.
by John Henry Schroeder on Jun 24, 2011 7:06 PM PDT reply actions
Agree. I see him playing next to Vlasic. My friend who’s a Wild season ticket holder says defensive play is his weakness.
Fear the Fin - where Russians are underappreciated.
He was a minus player the last 3 years
Hopefully that was due to the team he was playing on.
by SanFranciscoKnights on Jun 24, 2011 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions
I absolutely see him playing with Vlasic, too. I love the thought of them working together.
And if Burns ends up in the red in +/- next season, you can color me shocked. Don’t see that being a problem if the Sharks play anywhere near their capabilities as a team.
The principal supporting business now is rage. -- Richard Hugo
I don’t see TMac breaking up Vlasic and Demers, they both played phenominally this last year with Demers finishing +19 and Vlasic +14. They developed a chemistry that can only build as they grow with the team (especially since they’re both young etc).
Burns is an upgrade over Murray in an overall sense, so he’s probably going to get paired with Boyle to let Murray cover the shutdown side of the bottom pairing with Braun (or White). His offense will allow Boyle to not be the sole point shot and so he can be a bit more defensively responsible because he doesn’t have to position himself to be available etc. Just my opinion.
Did anyone else see...
That Chicago traded Troy Brouwer to the Capitals for their first round pick tonight?

Good trade
Here is why, as people have already said, the draft was thinning out of good prospects left so the first round pick was a good start. For a defenseman that we wanted we would have to give up Pavs, clowe, seto or a package of those to just get a dman. Also, yes, Coyle was great and I really liked him, I do not think he was going to get ice time any time soon at SJ so getting rid of him was not as bad as it sounds. Now, conditional on Burns getting an extension, DW got us a young TOP 2 Dman, and that much needed complete Dman that can play extensive minutes. The 2nd round draft pick should not be forgotten either, and WELCOME TO SJ BURNS!
Yea, Coyle is going to finish college and then he would have probably been eased into the AHL to then callup if he does well there, so we wouldn’t have seen him in the roster for another 2 years minimum, likely 3, so giving him up for that top dman now, while our top forwards are in their prime is a solid move.
The only problem is that unless we get Burns locked into an extension, it was a lot of youth and futures for a 1 year deal. The Sharks are making those deals for the cup window of the now though, so the trade needed to be done. Just gotta pray for that extension to alleive our minds for the future of the Sharks (with his age, if we can lock his loyalty to the Sharks that would be amazing).
I think these last couple of trades show that the back end of the first round isn't worth shit

Brewer also resigned with the Lightning for a steal for what we were seeing him as that top 2 guy (4 years 3.85 mil).
What I don’t understand is why Campbell is choosing the Panthers (since he has to and reportedly did waive his NMC to go). He chose the Hawks over us because he moved from 1.75mil to an insane 8 year 7.1 mil a year deal and that the Hawks were rebuilding with multiple top picks.
The Panthers are rebuilding too but aren’t anywhere close to what the Hawks were when they were rebuilding.
The only thing I can think of is the douche has his money, has his cup ring, and so now he doesn’t care about winning for a little bit and wants a nice sunny beach hometown.
