Do you, as a Sharks fan, look at what the team has done in the past month or so and say "wow I'm so confident in this team's new front office!" ?


Yeah but you're playing too much into recency bias; as much as my answer is as well. So no I am not confident but would it be fair to judge a product two weeks into it's life?
I mean I can personally see the merit in MOST of their moves.

The only poor taste move imo was not fighting to keep Doug Wilson Jr and cleaning house their too. That just was a plain stupid move as lets say all of Griers plans go down the toilet, youd arguably just give Wilson JR the next in line but it was clear that Grier (and prob Hasso Plattner) would rather start from scratch.

The most controversial thing you will see on CF

My NHL Logo Rankings

32. Washington Capitals - I hate words on logos (you will see that theme in these rankings). This logo is all words. They need to switch to one of their eagle logos
31. New York Rangers - I swear this is not biased but words on logo again is a crime. The Lady Liberty logo is much better than this one
30. New York Islanders - This logo has words and is pretty busy. Bring. Back. The. Fisherman.
29. Anaheim Ducks - A duck's foot is the least intimidating part of a duck. They need to try to get some form of the Mighty Ducks logo
28. Buffalo Sabres - Unpopular opinion but I don't like this logo at all (I don't really like circle logos in general). The swords look like scissors cutting the Sabre.
27. Los Angeles Kings - For a team located in LA and named the Kings, the logo and colors are bland. They could be so much more creative.
26. Edmonton Oilers - Again, words for a logo but for the Oilers, Its difficult to come up with something else for a team like the oilers
25. Tampa Bay Lightning - For a team called the Lightning, its a pretty basic logo. Was hoping for something more creative
24. Columbus Blue Jackets - I don't really understand this logo. To me it just looks like the Ohio flag and a star.
23. Florida Panthers - Looks like a solid secondary logo, not a main logo. The old Panthers logo was fire
22. Carolina Hurricanes - I mean its a hurricane...that's about it.
21. Boston Bruins - Its a classic logo but its basic so I can't put it much higher
20. Toronto Maple Leafs - Same thing as the Bruins. Classic look but it's not creative enough to be higher
19. EfF5Qc0X0AA0DJp?format=jpg&name=900x900 Their new logo is better than their old one, but I don't love it.
18. Philadelphia Flyers - What is a flyer? Not sure but this design is okay so I'll leave it here.
17. Montreal Canadiens - I used to like this logo but then I saw on twitter that it looks like a toliet so that lowered it
16. Vancouver Canucks - Not bad, not good. Mid, just like the Canucks so its right in the middle
15. Chicago Blackhawks - I don't want to start any contreversy so I'll leave the logo here. Logo is a little too busy for my liking
14. Detroit Red Wings - Most overrated logo imo. It's decent but I wouldn't put it close to the top 5.
13. St. Louis Blues - Simple logo. Nothing too flashy, nothing too boring
12. Winnipeg Jets
11. Dallas Stars
10. New Jersey Devils
9. Pittsburgh Penguins
8. FQITUAMacAUrTYR?format=jpg&name=medium
7. Nashville Predators
6. Vegas Golden Knights
5. FYim-Q6XoAM744b?format=jpg&name=large
4. Colorado Avalanche
3. Calgary Flames
2. San Jose Sharks
1. Minnesota Wild

(No descriptions for the top 12 because didn't really need them)

Benson and Wood are some exciting names to watch. Surprised Celebrini didn’t crack the team as a spare even. Not sure why Fantilli and Bedard aren’t here unless it’s because they’re on the WJC team.

Yeah Benson could be a top 5 pick next year. Yager, Wood, and Allen (probably the best D available) could be top 10. Heidt, Ritchie, and Barlow are also likely 1st rounders. Pretty stacked group of forwards honestly. Oliver Bonk is a future Crosby linemate, position be damned.
