Leaf Rumours

that was after he scored almost that many goals the year before, right?

Correct, but we can't make him play for us in 2008-2009 so valuing him as a 31 goal scorer is a little silly, no?

That's kind of the same mistake we made with Raycroft, and Stempniak. We didn't even make the mistake of over paying for them the year after their breakout seasons, we waited for them to suck for a season after that, but then paid full price anyway because we're nice like that.

I suggest we stop doing it, and starting by not trading Tomas ****ing Kaberle for a 36 point winger would be an excellent start.
 
Yup. Cashing in Kaberle for a middling 20 goal/50 forward like Clowe or Setoguchi (and that's being generous to Setoguchi) would cause me to snap, I think.

You just described Pavelski(July 11th, 1984) :

2006–07 San Jose Sharks NHL 46 14 14 28
2007–08 San Jose Sharks NHL 82 19 21 40
2008–09 San Jose Sharks NHL 80 25 34 59
2009–10 San Jose Sharks NHL 67 25 26 51

Setoguchi(Jan 1st 1987) :

2007–08 San Jose Sharks NHL 44 11 6 17
2008–09 San Jose Sharks NHL 81 31 34 65
2009–10 San Jose Sharks NHL 70 20 16 36
 
Seriously, if we're coughing up Kaberle, there better be some elite talent coming back. Otherwise, fire Wilson pronto and get a coach who would use him properly.

Yup, Pavelski's not my ideal return for Kaberle, he just happens to be the best player the Sharks could offer up for him. If he was offered, I'd have to stop and think about it, because he scored a pretty good regular season pace last year, performed well at the Olympics and had that monster playoff. He could be a classic late bloomer, but then again, he could be the next Fernando Pisani.

Setoguchi or Clowe on the other hand, I wouldn't even stop to take a second to think about them before I'd hang up the phone.
