Team: 2022-23 San Jose Sharks

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 1, 2022

Published: Feb. 2, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Building on my reasonable TDL plan posted earlier
we now work on our offseason plan to compete in 22/23
we sign Barabanov if Washington doesn't resign him and Elliot to replace Reimer.
resign the core players and sign Bordeleau.
Draft Geekie at 10 OA.
with Eklund in the lineup we now have a decent top 6
Bordeleau becomes our 3C and Balcers and Labanc give him solid wings who can support him and help him with his transition to the NHL.
Bonino, Nieto, Weathrby, Gregor, Leonard, Pederson, Chmevelski, Reedy, Raska and Viel all compete for 4th line and healthy scratches
Bonino is either C or LW and a lock to play because of his defense and PK, Nieto should get the advantage due to his experience PK ability, Raska and weatherby are the heirs to Bonino and Nieto and will be locks in 23 but here i have them playing in the AHL this season.
Reedy adds Right hand shot and some offensive upside so he gets the nod.
the dark horse is Gregor who I have liked his game and love the speed he brings but he is just snake bitten offensively.
Leonard, Pederson, and Chmevelski i feel get passed up on the depth chart and will end up being AHL tweeners like Blichfeld.
Viel is a future 13th forward added for grit against tough opponents.

the 4th line is fluid and i feel all the players mentioned will get a few NHL games next year and whoever excels steal the spots.

D is self explanatory, Vlasic buy out is much more palatable next year than this year, and we have Middleton as a safety net for inures or further regression from Vlasic.

Goal-tending will make or break our season.
Either Hill matures and becomes the full time starter and Elliot is a decent spot starter or we are in trouble.
Either way Gaudreau is the Heir apparent but is 2-3 years from NHL and 3-4 from NHL starter.
