1 more year before truly competing

Created by: csick
Team: 2020-21 San Jose Sharks
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 30, 2020
Published: Mar. 30, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Try to make the best of it by improving the goaltending longterm, signing some guys to 1 year deals, keeping some guys in the AHL and try to make the playoffs. I believe this team has a shot at a division spot if the goaltending doesnt flop.

    Gotta think if there is a compliance buyout, Rangers buyout Lundqvist and his 8m cap hit and keep the needed Georgiev.

    way i see it , you signed Evander Kane so you wont compete until he's gone

    WPG moves him and take big strides forward
    BUF moves him and takes big strides forward

    he's an Expansion team star meant to dazzle losing teams audience's
    but his selfish play and poor character make him a team mate you can endur but not thrive beside.

    if he was a 3rd line player that was depth and you had legit stars infront of him , totally different Scenario
    but you're basically TML and Phil Kessel or even ARZ and Phil Kessel based on the small sample size
    you're trying to play a depth talent with holes in his game at a level where he's got to match Mathews , Tkachuk's , Gaudreau's , Drisatl's, Oshies, Malkin's , Huberdeau's and many other legit top 6 stars.

    i wont lie i think you're close but without an impact trade to fix your Wing depth i think its game over and you should outright rebuild .
    if you were to bring in lets say for example Tatar and Danault lets say then your depth becomes legit (there's many other options i'm just trying to illistrate the level of talent you'd need )

    you addressed the Goaltending and i like 3 line D core although if i was you i'd sign Voynov Mid Season when he's avail for 2m x 2 year deal as he'll help solidify your back end

    Dahlen has value and you could use him and some picks to get most of what you want if you shop right .

    Kane is not the issue at all, and this mislead hate for him is dumb. He has been just fine in SJ and we do not have any need to move him, any issues in the past are nonexistant here. Yes we do need one or two more top six wingers, but moving Kane gets us further from that not closer

    History of Playoffs for Kane is what again ?

    History of his teams success after Kane ?

    Facts are Facts
    you're just painting me your narrative of why its worth the risk
    but Kane's never going to be a Stanley Cup Champ as he's a poor mans Jarome Iginla and even Iggy couldnt get it done despite coming close.

    Iggy also lead his drafted team who was horrible to a Final based on his skill
    Kane just missed practices and pissed off coaches instead of trying to be a leader and bring the lockerroom together like Iggy .

    Not saying he has to be Iggy , i'm just point out he's not on his level but more so on the level of a Phil Kessel .
    who only found success when a GM realized this about him acquiring him for less to play a lesser role behind more talented players.

    Since acquiring Kane SJS has went from a SCF team 2 games from a Cup
    To a non playoff team and bottom of the league

    you're trying to replace Pavelski with Kane and as such Playoff Finals are off the menu until your realize the difference quality makes

    Dude we went to the western finals with Kane last year... He is not the reason we suck, nor are we relying on him to be an allstar. Hes a goal scorer and a agitator

    Kane has scored at a 30-goal pace since he started wearing teal. The hate toward him is either stupid or racist, either way it's misguided. He's not a 40-goal, point-per-game player and it's not like he's paid to be nor should anyone's expectations be that high. He is NOT the problem.

    Blame the lack of bottom-6 scoring, the lack of speed, having two defensively weak blueliners, and poor goaltending.

    That Billy guy is an idiot.

    Dude, seriously?

    Winnipeg got worse after they traded Kane and didn't make the playoffs for two more seasons. Buffalo stayed bad.

    Is Kane perfect? No, but you can't claim teams did better without him.
