Can players just start defecting again and getting some help moving their family’s. It’s a joke the way these people are being treated.






This is a great watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it

THANK ****ING GOD, HALLELUJAH

I want to see Labanc, Simek traded, maybe Reimer - and Vlasic dealt with.


so you don't want to rebuild?

Everyone’s reading the first line and being blind by the wording.

Prior messaging was “we are going to be competitive” - “we are not rebuilding” - the new messaging is the final word “we’re going to take a step back to take a step forward” and his desire for the teams new identity he wants to create.

Even the Sharks writers who are just tweeting out “we are not rebuilding” are just writing clickbait.

You can’t rebuild with immovable contracts yet having quality players in Meier, Hertl, Ferraro, Burns, Bara, Couture and young blood in Kahkonen, Merkley, Eklund, Bords but there is a winning team buried under this teams flaws (as this mediocre roster was in playoff contention a majority of the year). We’re stuck with a bad hand - take a step back and assess. We’re stuck and instead of going all in - why not try and reassess. As the only way to rebuild correctly would have begun 1-2 years ago.

It’s the correct move. Taking a step backward is going to fix the team - if done correctly.

Ffs, can Putin just die already.


Won't change a thing, unfortunately. That nation is a built kleptocracy and only thing changing that is a complete revolution from the bottom to the top.

Not that this belongs to this forum anyway. Apologies to Beter.

I don't mind Killorn but Nill is very hesitant in giving up first rounders. 50th overall? Go ham.

Look who’s reporting.

He’s about 1/264 for his “Stars rumours” not confident in this take.

I’m hoping it’s true too, but I’m taking this news with a massive grain of salt considering it’s Pag reporting.

Can’t officially sign until free agency opens I’m pretty sure. Part of the whole thing with Europeans not being able to be brought over mid-season I think? And this is technically still this season until the 13th.

I take anything with Chycrun with a pinch of salt as apparently Toronto is still in on him per Friedman

And yes they can move Muzzin to do it but it still makes no sense as its the forward position that needs more help not the Dcore

Problem is, I don't see Chychrun as a fit in CBJ
I just don't see it
With Werenski, better targeting a Hronek or Marino imo to solidify RHD
