Description

Sharks are likely to pick between 2-4 with current lottery odds, but this plan becomes more relevant if they draft Celebrini.

Both Sprong and Carrier (1) fill positions of need (2) are young enough to still be part of the rebuilding timeline (3) aren't good enough to reverse the tank (4) can be traded if the rebuild is slow.

Sharks offer longer term compared to other teams to convince them to come to San Jose. I filled out the rest of the roster with younger guys, but Bordeleau and Gushchin are not locks for the NHL team. Will Smith stays in college.

Kind of a terrible idea, next year should fill any remaining spots by taking on cap dumps plus sweeteners from other teams, 25-26 should be start of youth movement

Pretty sure Grier has already stated he is looking to efficiently spend money in the UFA period, and he said if I recall as a quote that he doesn't want to sign bad money deals or long term as he wants to avoid the situation San Jose as just recently in. Its far more reasonable to wait and see what San Jose does this TDL then assess what the summer will look like.

Uh no, this is the year of the cap dumps (who still have some value). They took on Hoffman, Rutta, Granlund, and Duclair.

Next year / after this years trade deadline is when the youth movement should be in full force. They have a lot of guys who'd already be up if it weren't for taking on cap dumps. Bordeleau, Shakir, and Gushchin are NHL ready.
