Sharks Road Map

Created by: Bias_it_self
Team: 2022-23 San Jose Sharks
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 21, 2022
Published: Mar. 22, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Opening Night Lineup:
Eklund-Hertl-Meier
Dahlen-Couture-Barabanov
Balcers-Reedy-Labanc
Nieto-Bonino-Raska

Ferraro-Karlsson
Hatakka-Merkley
Knyzhov-Lundkvist

Hill-Kahkonen

Forwards:
Nothing changes much during the season besides the call-ups (Bordeleau, Leonard, etc.). Focus on playing young guys and not the mouth breathers.

Defense:
Boom or bust is what I'd use to describe this. Ferraro-Karlsson should be very strong and reliable, but the bottom four could go either way. If Knyzhov returns and is in form, he'll be a strong defensive defenseman to play with Lundkvist. Hatakka-Merkley could be a ride, but Hatakka has really progressed in the AHL since his last send down and both should be ready for solid minutes in the NHL.

Goaltending:
Also a boom or bust scenario. Both goalies have lots of potential and could be great starters. If one emerges to be elite then that's great, if not, we have Gaudreau in the pipeline and he will be a stud.

This season would probably be like this one. Really a mixed bag and tailing off towards the end. If they succeed then great! If they lose that's alright, rather loose young than old and this season would be best if we're at the bottom. I have the Sharks drafting around 10th in 2022 and selecting Lambert, but that could change. Center depth looks strong going forward and RD is also strong as well as young.

Post TDL Lineup:

Eklund-Hertl-Meier
Dahlen-Couture-Barabanov
Balcers-Bordeleau-Lambert
Raska-Weatherby-Reedy

Ferraro-Karlsson
Hatakka-Merkley
Knyzhov-Lundkvist

  3. 2024 4th round pick (PIT)
PIT
  1. Burns, Brent ($3,000,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Draft Day Deal-Letang and Pens don't come to terms on a contract. Burns brought in as a replacement as Sharks look to clear a roster spot for Merkley and clear some cap. Contract won't be much of a burden as it expiries around the end of Pens cup window/end of Crosby's current contract.
2.
SJS
    Future considerations
    ARI
    1. Gregor, Noah [RFA Rights]
    2. Simek, Radim
    3. 2022 7th round pick (ARI)
    Additional Details:
    Draft Day Deal-Simek has been passed on the depth chart by younger guys. His 2mil cap hit isn't a great idea to keep on the books. Moving him out to Arizona looking to get above cap floor + needing more contracted NHL defenseman seems like the smart move. Along with Gregor who has skill but can't seem to finish; the cap dump is covered.
    3.
    NYR
    1. Reimer, James ($1,000,000 retained)
    2. 2022 3rd round pick (SJS)
    Additional Details:
    Draft Day Deal-Rangers move Georgiev out and bring in Reimer who is a huge upgrade. Would be a great backup to Shesterkin at around 1 mil. Could take a huge weight off Shesty’s shoulders and be a great option if he gets injured. Getting older so probably won’t be able to play as many games as he did this year, but as the back up behind the best goalie in the league; 30 games would be the max he would probably play.
    4.
    SJS
    1. 2023 5th round pick (TOR)
    TOR
    1. Bonino, Nick ($1,000,000 retained)
    Additional Details:
    2023 TDL-Kinda hard to predict a landing spot for a rental 1 year away, but I'll give it my best. Dubas brings in a solid 4C to shore up bottom 6. At this stage the goal scoring probably completely evaporates and he becomes a purely defensive forward.
    5.
    SJS
    1. 2023 6th round pick (COL)
    COL
    1. Nieto, Matt
    Additional Details:
    2023 TDL-New Year, new forward depth. Similar deal to Cogliano's. Not much to say, Avs fans probably know him well.
    6.
    SJS
    1. 2023 3rd round pick (OTT)
    2. 2024 3rd round pick (OTT)
    OTT
    1. Labanc, Kevin
    Additional Details:
    2023 TDL/Mid Season Trade-Labanc bounces back with line-mates who are more offensively focused and nets around 15 goals and 45 points. Due to the Meier needing to be signed; Sharks move him to a team with cap space and on the rise.

    I mean, he’s a black hole defensively, but he’s put up 40 points in 62 games behind a poor offense. Moving him to a better system with a better offense would really help him to keep steady. At only 5mil, I’m sure you could get positive value.

    He’s worth more than a late 1st. He’s NHL ready. 2 years left on the ELC. It’s really tough to say. Our position of need is C and I doubt Eklund is available for a swap. So maybe just to put a value in there.

    Lundkvist & 2nd in 23’ for Reimer & 1st in 22’. Maybe just a 22’ 1st swap. Just thinking of ideas to balance it. Just adding a 3rd or 4th or low prospect isn’t going to do it

    1st are off limits for now. I’d value Reimer with the 1 mil retention at about a 2nd and 4th. Maybe:

    Lundkvist for Reimer 1mil retained, and both ‘23 2nds?

    Lol suggesting an Eklund Lundqvist swap???? A top 10 pick plus a cheap vet goalie for him? All terribly swayed in NYR favor and ridiculous.

    Not even that, Lundqvist is being way overvalued by this guy. He suggested an swap with him and Eklund, that or taking the sharks top 10 pick. That’s not even close.

    That's what I thought, but I wanted to try and find a middle ground.

    he's also 37
    although as u said him at 5 mill is intriguing
    Dont see pens moving a 2nd for him as they are looking to restock the cabinets

    No chance there isn't at least some market for Burns with what guys like Seth Jones and Ristolainen returned. Justified or not, the market for offensive RHD is still very bloated. He's not in his prime anymore but he's not really regressed that much considering his age and he's tied for 12th in scoring amongst defensemen right now.

    let’s play Devils advocate, say we do draft Lambert. then we have Bordeleau Lambert Robins Reedy Weatherby to go along with Bonino Couture and Hertl at C but nothing past Merkley and Laroque on RD in the minors and an aging Burns and Karlsson on the big club.

    let’s put a package out of Reimer 1 mil retained plus Robins and for Lunqvist.
    would that be fair? who would have to add?

    Robins is very offensively talented and has top 6 ceiling but is a tad undersized, but i don’t see much chance he squeezes into the lineup over guys like Lambert Coe and Weisblatt or Meier and Barabanov. and Lundqvist is talented but blocked by Schneider Fox and trouba. this would benifit all players and teams involved

    Don't see NYR moving Lundkvist for an aging backup goalie...
    Lundkvist is an A* tier prospect, so I would say it would be something like:

    To SJS:
    Reunanen
    2024 4th

    To NYR:
    Reimer (50% retained)
    2023 6th

    Read my comment again. You’ve clearly misinterpreted it. I suggested Eklund is clearly off the table and never said it would be 1 for 1. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Then I proceeded to offer potential trades.

    Don’t know much about Robins tbh. The issue here is we likely wouldn’t move him to downgrade prospects. I’ve been thinking a lot about Lundkvist & Jones for Perunovich. While STL might need more prospects after they have been moving picks to compete this fills their basket and NYR get the guy with the best fit for our organization. Above I suggested reimer and two 2nds might work, I see drury wanted to draft multiple C prospects and hoping they stick. Robins might not be enough but I’m going to look into him when I have some time today 👍🏼

    Just looked up his #’s. They look pretty solid, I guess it would come down to proper scouting and if he fits the ideal C that Drury would want. On paper it looks like a decent deal.

    We are talking about the same Nils Lundqvist right? He’s projecting as a 3rd pairing defenseman, why would he give up so much for him? I wouldn’t give up Robins for him 1 for 1 at this point.

    let’s play Devils advocate, say we do draft Lambert. then we have Bordeleau Lambert Robins Reedy Weatherby to go along with Bonino Couture and Hertl at C but nothing past Merkley and Laroque on RD in the minors and an aging Burns and Karlsson on the big club.

    let’s put a package out of Reimer 1 mil retained plus Robins and for Lunqvist.
    would that be fair? who would have to add?

    Robins is very offensively talented and has top 6 ceiling but is a tad undersized, but i don’t see much chance he squeezes into the lineup over guys like Lambert Coe and Weisblatt or Meier and Barabanov. and Lundqvist is talented but blocked by Schneider Fox and trouba. this would benifit all players and teams involved


    I wouldn’t do Robins 1 for 1 with him, he’s projecting at a 3rd pairing guy. Much higher ceiling on Robins

    Quoting: NYR1983
    Just looked up his #’s. They look pretty solid, I guess it would come down to proper scouting and if he fits the ideal C that Drury would want. On paper it looks like a decent deal.


    Robins Reimer 50% retaines and a 4th for Lundqvist
    3rd for Georgiev.
    NYR adds a C/RW prospect with a high ceiling, one of the best backup goalies in the league and 2 picks
    To me this is a slam dunk for NYR, the sharks and whoever gets Georgiev! plus all players involved get into a situation to better their careers. Lundqvist gets and Georgiev get a chance to be full time starters, Reimer gets another chance at a cup and Robins now has a chance to get top 9 min in a year.

    Quoting: Finski
    Don't see NYR moving Lundkvist for an aging backup goalie...
    Lundkvist is an A* tier prospect, so I would say it would be something like:

    To SJS:
    Reunanen
    2024 4th

    To NYR:
    Reimer (50% retained)
    2023 6th


    Lundqvist is a good prospect, but he is more a b+ prospect.
    Reimer is one of the best backup net-minders in the game.
    your post above isn't fair to me, I like Reunanen but he is 24 and hasn't been able to crack your lineup yet, at best he is a 3rd round comp.
    Reimer value with 50% this offseason would be roughly a 2nd and a prospect like Reunanen
    Reimer 50% retained plus Robins who is a b- grade prospect for Lundquvist (b+ prospect) would be an overpament to NYR, but it fills an massive hole in the sharks prospect Depth chart from 2 of its strengths, and NYR would fill 2 massive holes in their depth chart (dependable vet backup netminder for just over 1 mil and C prospect depth) for 1 who has no shot at making the team full time other than an injury replacement.
    this then allows both teams to use their 1st this year filling other holes in their prospect pool's
    how would this not be a win win for both clubs?

    We are talking about the same Nils Lundqvist right? He’s projecting as a 3rd pairing defenseman, why would he give up so much for him? I wouldn’t give up Robins for him 1 for 1 at this point.


    Cool, I’m glad you pass. I was however enjoying discussions with other sharks fans on how/what a deal could look like to make it work hypothetically. Thanks for pouring your negative vibes out there. The world needs garbage so stay strong 💪
