At least they’ve still got all their picks still

lol anytime i'm feeling down.. i quickly open up capfriendly and observe the sharks long term cap situation. Cheers me up every time

Eklund, Bordeleau and the 2023 1st could make a good foundation for future. Just that darn cap.

Eklund is our savior (hopefully)

he is a piece of it. with him, Bordz, Coe Robins Weisblatt and Gushin we have 6 top 9 forwards to add to the club in the next 3 years.i’m hoping for a top 3 pick to add another Elite prospect forward and solidify this group.
on D i’m feeling Bearish on Merkley future in the NHL. This year will be a huge tale on him. he comes in to camp in shape with added muscle and drive he could be a difference maker. he comes to camp like last year and i see him as potentially an AHL tweener. Still the sharks have a few solid prospects in Laroque, Hatakka, Kinazev, Cicek and Havelid. still we need a top line RD and LD prospect added to this list to make me feel better.
in net we have 3/4 prospects who have solid upside plus Kahkonen so we’re solid there.

these ELC combined with team control for the first few years gives us a chance at overcoming the large cap hits we’re waiting to overcome.
