Thread: Bedard Makes Sharks a Darkhorse Next Year

The blues goaltending hasn't been near as big of an issue as it looks on paper. Greiss isn't great, but Binnington honestly has played pretty well despite his stat sheet. The defense has been god awful in front of him. 9/10 goals that he lets in he doesn't stand a chance.</div></div>



So if the struggling sub-890 SP% Binnington goes down you want to ride Griess in the playoffs? Lol. Riemer is a great goalie 1a 1b goalie to have. with over a 900 SP% every year of his career.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Horrible trade for San Jose, that would not even be considered. What makes you honestly think they would even consider something close to that? I would want multiple 1sts just to take on Campbell</div></div>


Listen, The sharks receive a forward with top 6 potential (if not still serviceable top 9), A solid defenseman to replace Erik Karlsson after we trade him, and a goalie who has had an awful season but can bounce back, also with a third. They give up 2 bottom 6 forwards, a defenseman in Merkley with no value and who wants out, Kakkonen who is worse than Campbell, (2.5 less on the cap and Campbell having a longer term is rough, but that's why the third is there.) Ferraro is the only one with real value and he has looked awful this year. Realistically should add a second coming from Edmonton in this but I think its close.

Thread: Sharks Sell Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>Too much going on in that Avs trade. I’m going to split it into Compher+1st for Couture and all the other stuff for Nieto+3rd.

Couture is too old to get moved easily. $1.5M retention for so long is probably too much for any team. Couture isn’t a 1st round pick better than Compher when you consider how heavy his contract looks moving forward. Maybe the fit is right if Couture is 3-5 years younger.

Kaut is meh, Beaucage is promising but not an A prospect, MacDermid is awful but the team seems to like him. I like Nieto, but he’s probably not moving the needle much. I wouldn’t complain about this deal necessarily but it doesn’t really make sense to me for Colorado.</div></div>

I see where your coming from but Couture could be one of the best deadline pickups in a long time, and for not too much either (a very late first an expiring contract and two low B-level prospects) His playoff track record is insane, he's providing almost a point per game with awful linemates on a very bad team this year, he also provides leadership, experience, and I think would fit perfectly on Colorados second line
