man that right side is tough.

I assume you're talking about the defense?

Yeah, for sure lol. over 25 million dollars for a bunch of overpaid 30+-year-olds. Think, for that price you could have Hedman, Carlson, and Josi!

Yeesh. Pretty grim scenario.

Blichfeld is not touching the top six next year. Simek is the likely target for Seattle. I seriously doubt the sharks re-sign Donato with how inconsistent he's been if they do it will be less than his current AAV.

If Sharks are ever to buy out Jones, it will be this coming offseason. He's been given many chances to play a consistent game and has failed for 3 years.

Sure, but the point of this roster is to not do any UFA signings or trades, and in that scenario Jones must be kept or we'd have a completely untested rookie goalie playing starter and that's generally speaking something that only works out with really good goalie prospects. Which ours aren't.

he's been doing really well in the AHL though, I would like to see him get the chance.
We can protect Simek.
Yeah he's been inconsistent, but he's young and at 3 million could be a steal.

Probably true, but he's been solid the last few games so maybe he can turn it around. Probably wishful thinking though.
