Thread: Insert Team Name

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>There are plenty of arguments for trading Burns, but I think the biggest reason they don't is the fact that SJ is determined to rebuild the "Sharks Code" and to get the rookies up to speed fast, and Burns is every rookie's daddy in the locker room. He's core insofar as he's a vital part of the team's culture, much more so than Simek, Karlsson, or even Pickles.</div></div>

I feel going forward your leadership/locker room group has to be - Hertl, Karlsson, Ferraro. Burns will be gone in a few years guaranteed, who knows what happens with Couture to be honest.

Thread: Why Not

Karlsson isn’t an 11 million dollar player, but he’s definitely better than Skinner and his contract.

Simek is an interesting player. If Seattle takes him, than damn good for you, but I still see Sharks pulling some crazy Burns to Seattle trade, involving a 2nd round and Dahlen, I could be very far off, but we’ll see.

Thread: Resetting the Sharks Contender Style with Eichel Blockbuster Plus Hall

If Buffalo even considers a trade like this, San Jose take that deal and destroy the phone before Buffalo reconsiders. Difference between the EK65 and Eichel trades are age and injury history. You take the risk on Eichel ten out of ten times. Though, I wouldn’t sign Hall or even Armia, I’d rather sign a more valuable right wing forward, and configure the lines like...
Hertl - Eichel - *1st line forward
Kane - Couture - Labanc
Leonard - Gambrell - Balcers
Nieto - Chemleveki - Leivo/True/etc.

It’s really a take your pick between Leonard or Gabriel, especially if Balcers is available.

Thread: Karlsson doesnt want to rebuild again

Most people are misconstrue-ding his comments. The whole reason he said that was to echo Doug Wilson’s comments about being a re-tool team and not a rebuild team. Whether that’s the correct approach doesn’t matter. San Jose has some of the pieces to get back to the promise land and Karlsson knows that.

I really liked Meier as a 3rd line guy, playing him with a playmaker and two way forward benefits him so much.

Eh, a decade of being one of the best teams in the NHL meant a rebuild/retool would be inevitable. The Sharks aren’t totally screwed, if they decided to begin the rebuild at the end of the season.

He’s a free agent at the end of the year so he won’t be exposed. Seattle can “claim” him and then he can decide to go to Free Agency after.

To me it speaks volumes in terms of, “Everyone will be accounted for.” If Vlasic continues this path, he will be scratched unfortunately.

Evander Kane can get you something decent in return. Something like a B level prospect and a 3rd.

Thread: Blockbuster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoWah49</b></div><div>no they would not</div></div>

The point of this trade was to capitalize on the Penguins’ last years with Crosby, getting a prime Hertl, who’s a first line center on a few teams, while saving a million and a half for playoff depth, and all they’re doing is moving down from 15-32 to 33-45. The Sharks use this trade as starting point of their inevitable rebuild while keeping all prospects and core pieces.

Alright well, we had a greaaaat season. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a new defense lineup would help this team, but lack of offensive is the issue.

If the Sharks are parting a 2nd round draft pick and okay depth (definitely replacement level, but you’ll need that in the playoffs), I’d rather get a player who’s more guaranteed and shoot first mentality and under contract.

Thread: FUTUUUUURE updated

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfrojelin</b></div><div>I think it's fair, but I'd rather not do that Jones trade, Shane Wright is very good at hockey. I have a lot of issues with this roster:

Vlasic has a NMC which he wouldn't waive. That's 7 mil we can't use
Hamonic is a luxury we wouldn't need with Merkley entering the league at this time
Overpay for Raanta a little
Timo wouldn't stay on the third line (he's just currently in the dog house, give it a few games to change)
The way Donato is playing, he probably gets more like 3 mil (look what Labanc got for similar numbers, a 5x4 essentially)
With the current status of cap, can probably offer less to Gambler and Gregor
I'd personally go for a guy more like Armia Dzingel or Hyman instead of Hyman, but they would be pricier</div></div>

I had no idea NMC included buyouts but fair enough.
Something tells me Merkley won’t be ready for a top 6 role just yet. I’ve been the biggest backer of him but we’ll see.
I honestly thought it was an underpay. Raanta is what the Sharks need to get into the playoffs.
Again the contracts aren’t supposed to be exact, which is why I still left 4 million in cap space.
Gregor for sure, but I feel like Gamby will get that type of contact to be the team’s third line center.
I’d LOVE someone like Hyman, but with Kane, Hertl, and Meier, why get ANOTHER grinder like scoring option, I’d rather a shoot first guy. So Dzingle would be an interesting option. Also with that Jones trade, this is what would happen if the team doesn’t tank. (No pun intended)
