If kuzemenko is in your top 6 then Trochet isn't your coach. He's made that pretty clear.

Don't see Greer trading Duclair unless he gets an offer he can't refuse. This isn't that.

He's gonna be traded. No way he's in SJ all year

He's teaching him to earn his keep. We'll see how Kuz reacts. Just like Hoglander

literally my first thought when san jose acquired was “hmm wonder how much he fetches at the deadline?” i believe grier traded for duclair for the explicit purpose of flipping him lol

There is sitting players then there is trashing then in the media and saying they don't fit your system before you sit them.

Unless Duclair voices he wants to leave/ won’t extend for a fair deal (wants to fish in UFA/ go on a run) - there’s a high probability he stays in SJS. There’s a lot of positive internal and external content surrounding the Sharks that there’s been a mutual and positive impact of Duclair in the dressing room and with Eklund - Bordeleau- Zetterlund. I would say it’s far from a guarantee and that none of the Sharks writers believe he’s a lock for staying or being traded - it’s very fluid.

Going 8-7-1 since the laughable start, the Sharks culture is going in a positive direction which is important to rebuilding teams - and have to hand it to Quinn. If Duclair and team have mutual interest which each week more and more it seems that there is.



Is basically 100% spot on and what I’ve been saying for a nearly a couple weeks now.

If things keep trending the way they are from the content + writers + the teams performance; with what we’ve been seeing; Grier isn’t going to cause problems internally for a 3rd and a toss in.

i definitely agree with the positive impact hes had on the team. i still think flipping him was their original plan as SJS probably didnt even realize the extent of leadership role hes taken. he might want to stay but at the end of the day he has no trade protection and another team might pay a high price grier cant refuse for him. whichever happens i think it’ll be positive for SJS

He never trashed him lol

He said he needs to forecheck

Was flipping him the original idea most likely, however plans can,should,and do change when facts are presented. Listening to sharks fans and seeing some of Duclair's quotes about teammates makes me think Greer has reevaluated that position.

If I'm a player I take my coach publicly calling me lazy (needs to fore check) Id take that as trashing.
