So a guy on LTIR, a guy with a concussion, a guy that is going to be a senior in college meaning he can be a FA at the end of the upcoming season, and a guy who’s rapidly on his way to becoming a bust for a legit 1st line forward. Yep definitely a MTL ACGM, Sharks decline.

I think that enough, Meier is 0.6pt/gp over the last 5 seasons.... Drouin is 0.63 pt/gp, right he needs a move, he cannot deal with MTL pressure. Allen is better than all SJ goaltender with a cap friendly contract, Harris last season is 1pt/gp in NCAA, reliable def. Poehling's season in AHL was very good, he'll become a good 3rd line center maybe 2nd line, he needs more time.
MTL is on WIN mode right now, SJ is on REBUILT mode, that's the reason why MTL overpaid for Meier.

Sure, let's throw Meier's 20 and 21 year old seasons where he was playing in a bottom 6 role in there to try and skew the numbers out of context. Since Meier has become entrenched in his role in the league as a top 6 player (past 3 seasons), he is scoring at .72 PPG while Drouin is scoring at .60. Additionally, Meier has scored almost as many points as Drouin has played games the past 3 seasons (146 to 152) speaking to how injury prone Drouin is. So no, the comparisons are nowhere near fair.

And no, SJ is not in rebuild mode and there is not a publication from anyone with knowledge of the team saying as such. Whether they should or should not be is debatable, but the organization is very firmly on the record saying they're not rebuilding. And if they were, then why are you putting guys like Allen and Drouin in the deal anyway as they'd be looking for futures?

anyone with knowledge... WOW... thanks for your help!!

"not a publication from anyone with knowledge of the team". Don't manipulate the quote to make yourself appear to be some victim. This is clearly referring to those that write for and about the team.

uh, No. bye.

last May: Wilson said San Jose Sharks are in "reset" mode. Reset in my mind, is a short term rebuilt, MTL did the same thing 3 years ago... My knowledge of SJ team seems good after all...

Drouin literally has zero trade value right now. You don’t even know if he is going to play hockey again. Idc what Harris is in college he will be a UFA at the end of the season he can sign with whomever he wants, this no value. Allen, just what SJS needs another middle of the road goal tender, no value. And if you think Poehling is going to be a 2nd line center based on his what draft +4 year being good in the AHL that’s a joke. On top of that you think it is an overpay is hilarious.

yes exactly he is a cap dump 5.5 x2 for a guy with 9 G in the last 2 yrs when he plays only 71 Games. Meier 34 G in the same period for 124 games. Allen was worth a 3rd and 7th before and that is about his value today.
