Thread: Tankathon simulation and offseason Part 1

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NikitaAviva</b></div><div>Why do you like Alex Young and want to sign him?</div></div>

Prospect depth. He had a bad year but he had a fairly decent AHL career and would be a solid depth. For the AHL zero expectation he plays for the sharks

Thread: Sharks Land Celebrini Trade for Andersson and Sign Nylander Reinhart Samsonov

Rushing the rebuild is a bad idea, that defence isn't good either. SJ already has a young core intact (Eklund, Smith) and if they tanked for another 2-3 years, they have the chance to land 1 maybe 2 GENERATIONAL talents (Macklin, Misa, or McKenna) which is crazy to think about.

In 5-6 years, when Nylander, Reinhart, and Andersson start regressing and Hertl and Couture are washed up, your likely going to have do re-tool again while your stars (Celebrini, Smith, Eklund) hit their prime. Therefore, SJ should tank it to the ground for another 2-3 seasons and build a potential dynasty instead of rushing it

Friend, Will Smith will not be in San Jose next year, even if that is the pick at #4. Will Smith will be tearing it up in Boston alongside his USNDTP lineys.

Thread: Vision of SJs fan

Thanks for doing a Devils ACGM

Historically, Devils and Flyers, as geographical and divisional rivals, do not trade with one another. We have completed one deal almost 40 years ago when we sent an AHLer’s rights to Philly and he was never signed. But if we were to break tradition, the trade would probably be Konecny for picks/prospects (no Bratt, no pick to NJ).

With Luke’s arrival, Graves is as good as gone. Hopefully we sign Severson instead. Also pretty good chance Haula comes back too.

Thread: Ready for Leo

Matt Roy's probably #1 on my 2nd pairing RD trade wish list for SJ. Seems realistic if LA commits to Brandt Clarke and others and decides/sees that a Roy extension at a reasonable cap hit behind next season isn't feasible because of cap impacts on the team and/or other players primed to take over his spot for cheaper.

But it's doubtful that he's available at that price. LA might consider if SJ adds a 2nd rounder.

I do like the Caps deal but don't think WSH accepts. It's closer than the LA one though.

Overall, very solid roster and plan for the team next year 👍

Thread: Oops I did it again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>Yeah, neither Kunin nor Lindblom should be Sharks next year.</div></div>

Next year won’t be a playoff year either, play out the final year of the mediocre guys (Labanc, Lindblom, Kunin, simek, Kahkonen etc.) hope a few can rebound enough to flip them for picks at the tdl and focus efforts on 24/25 to really start moving out of the tear down portion of the rebuild and begin to strengthen the team.
Plus by not adding much in 23 offseason sharks have another shot at a top 5 in 24 to add to the prospect pool growth.

Thread: Oops I did it again

Love the Caps deal ofc but no way WSH accepts that. They don't accept that even if you take out the 2025 1st entirely, not sure they do even if SJ then adds a 2nd either. They want to retool fast, their acquisition of Sandin points to that too and Wilson is a part of that for them.

SJ shouldn't do that BOS deal. Knyzhov is solid and should be even better with a full training camp under his belt preparing for next season.

Crossing those fingers for Bedard.

I personally think we need to buy Kunin out (only a 250k cap hit for next season and a 500k cap hit for the season after that). He was (predictably) absolutely abysmal this season. Would drag Bordeleau down when he needs solid support in his rookie year.

JVR could be a sneaky good pickup at that price to play with Bordeleau which I think is reasonable. I'd be okay with a JVR-Bords-Labanc 3rd line.

Thread: Lose Meier and Couture but push the playoff

If you are able to jettison Couture, there is no reason not to sign Timo, unless he has made it explicitly clear to GMMG that he doesnt want to play here anymore. If he has expressed to Grier that he doesnt want to stay, then Nemec or Mercer or find someone else to trade with for him.

Thread: Lose Meier and Couture but push the playoff

One major missing piece here is that Sharks will likely land Bedard if they trade away both Meier AND Couture at TDL, but that only furthers this idea for a quick retool for a playoff push all the while getting younger.

This is the plan I also have in mind for the direction of the team, and I hope Mike Grier has in mind as well. I just find the Meier trade far too underwhelming. It needs to be Mercer or Nemec or nothing, otherwise try Meier to another team or just hold on to him.

Sj should resign Meier and build youngster around him and Hertl
