Thread: Sharks PART 1 2024 Sign Pesce Bertuzzi Matt Roy Acquire Nic Roy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cagauf</b></div><div>I don’t see them adding much at free agency. They will likely go out and get some vets to help the young guys but that’s it. They are a couple years away from starting too add and climb the standings.</div></div>

They should definitely be active in Free Agency. They just should just be cautious about overloading on new faces. 2-3 solid free agent would go a long way.

They have the prospect pool, now it's time to start creating a competitive culture (even if they're still a bottom five next year). Two year from now they should be hopeful for playoffs. Not expected but certainly hopeful. I think Anaheim, SJ, Chicago, and CBJ are on a similar timeline imo +/- a year

Thread: A Slower Approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Hall had a 16 team no trade clause; Tavares has a full NMC. But if you want to suggest that JT will waive to play in San Jose, nothing to stop you (other than common sense) - I put the odds at 0% 🤷🏻</div></div>

16 is a lot of teams. He either left Chicago off that list or he waived. Either way he knew Chicago was dogwater and elected to go there.

I'm not saying i think JT is willing to Waive, I'm saying it wouldn't be the craziest thing, especially if he was guaranteed to get moved to a contender at the deadline. Lets also remember it was essentially between Toronto, San Jose, and Long Island when he was signing as a free agent.

Saying "I put the odds at 0%" and that anyone who thinks different than you lacks common sense is a bit antagonistic and ignorant

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Will Smith (3 Years / $4,150,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>Celebrini is one of the lowest level 1OA in years. Many scouts have pointed that out. This is not a great draft.
He graded out lower than Bedard in CHI, and Beniers in SEA who was 2OA and is graded out as a 1st liner not franchise level talent.

He's also already graded lower than the next two years 1OA who are already known.

I don't really know how else to break that down for you. He's not that guy. Not saying he's not going to be a decent player. High possibility he is.
But he's not that guy.

You can be mad about it all you want, I just don't get the joy of heading a team dead set into mediocrity. They are already at the bottom.... keep tanking... that should be the goal. Not playing the youth. **** sit them in the AHL if you have to. Keep tanking.</div></div>

Whos saying this? He's literally graded as on Par with Matthews and Hughes. Behind only the two generational talents in the Connors in the past decade. He's absolutely that guy.

You don't need a generational talent to win a cup. Look at LA 2012 &amp; 14. Look at the four teams remaining, only Edmonton has a player of the caliber that you're talking about. You might as well just tell every team that's not Edmonton, Chicago, or Colorado to stop trying because according to you, if you don't have a top 5 player in the league you have no chance at a cup.

Do you think Smith is going to take this team from 32 to a bubble team? No they're still rebuilding. Also Smith has said that he's willing to play in the AHL if that's what's best for his development.

You have genuinely no clue about this sport
