Team: 2022-23 San Jose Sharks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 8, 2022

Published: Jun. 8, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Roster Notes and Thoughts:

- I could see Bear getting a contract with less cap hit
- Sharks have ample space here to resign Meier (they can buy out Vlasic next season on top of this to create even more room)
- Bear is likely not resigning in CAR. I think he's a great candidate for SJ for a multitude of reasons.
- If Letang signs elsewhere, the Burns deal makes a load of sense for PIT
- Roy is exactly the player the Sharks need. I've been making a case for him for weeks but it just makes a world of sense. Sharks need a top-6 quality guy, ideally who's a big body and can play physical, and even more ideally a guy who's a right-handed shot, and most ideally, who can also play center in case Bordeleau needs time in the NHL.
- Marchment, as we know, has ties to SJ through his dad who's an all-time fan favorite and who also works in Sharks management currently. He also fits the mold of getting an excellent middle-six player who's physical and can drive play -- a perfect match to play with Bordeleau.
- Realize and Simek are jettisonable. I can see OTT, ARI, and SEA as 3 teams who'd be wise to take a flyer on those guys while also possible getting something to take them on.
