Description

Just some thoughts on pieces we can add. Added Soucy and Demelo for blueline stability, Lehner for goaltending, and Granlund to round out the top 6. I thought going after Walker would be good as he's a good forechecker and skater who fills a positional need at rightwing too. The sharks are linked to Melnichuk who could be an intriguing project, this is also why I think they should draft Blomqvist to bolster their goaltending prospects. I feel like they should also pursue some more talent for the forward group, specifically right-handed shots, so I also went with Perreault and Simontaival. Benning is a blueliner I'd like the sharks to take but the aforementioned guys take priority imo so it'd be nice if he's available in the 3rd round and they trade to get him but it's fine if they don't. Let me know how you'd use the sharks first 3 picks and comment on the roster itself too, what numbers should be adjusted and pontial alternatives. Stay safe and healthy guys!

Not sure if I want Granlund in the top 6, too risky. Also Labanc on the top line isn't ideal.

Not actually sure where Soucy played in Minnesota, but I doubt it was the top pair and I think he should play bottom pairing minutes. If you wanted to, you could move Simek to the top pair, not sign Soucy, and not sign Granlund. Then you could sign someone like Toffoili and have Middleton play bottom pairing minutes.

Lehner gets a lot more, I would say around 1.5 million more.

Also, love the idea of the 3rd line even though it's highly unlikely that we sign Walker and they both make it. 2 college boys centered by a talented veteran.

I think Granlund is due for a bounce back. His regression means the sharks can probably snag him for cheaper. In addition, his playmaking ability would fit really nicely next to two high volume shooters like Kane and Hertl. Moreover, his utility as a center also means the sharks can potentially move him around the top-9 in different roles. At that cap hit, I think it's worth it, especially because I think his style of play meshes well with the sharks players as compared to his Nashville linemates. Soucy played well, I think at his size and play he'd be a good fit next to Karlsson, from what I've seen of him, he provides good utility on the left side, good to play 15-18 minutes a night. If anything, for this build I'd consider signing heed back on a cheap deal and using the money I used on Demelo to bring in Jesper Fast for around 2.5-2.8 mil.

I sincerely hope there's serious interest in acquiring Johnny Walker. Have there been any viable rumors circulating?

I don't think I've seen much on that front in regard to any team being linked to him. However, we managed to land his teammate Pasichnuk, so hopefully, they can do the same with him lol. Plus he has a shot to crack an NHL line up while still being close to his home state. I think it makes a lot of sense for him to come here if he doesn't sign in Arizona.
