Thread: Sharks Rebuild
to start at the Draft we go D because that's the weak spot in our prospect depth, either Mintuko or Korchinski if they fall.

Simek will be dealt he wants out of San Jose and is unhappy, Labanc will be dangled for a bag of pucks and a Horton's coffee.
Balcers, Nieto, Bonino, and Dahlen are interchangeable and we have too many players/ prospects similar them anyways, I would assume maybe 2 or 3 get traded to free up cap space. Balcers and Dahlen seem most likely as they have the highest value due to upside and youth.
Hill or Reimer get moved, Hill for a 4th/3rd or Reimer for a 2nd plus a prospect seems reasonable.
Burns or Karlsson one of those two most likely get moved and our interim GM already stated they are available and they are listening to offers.

That leaves our needs at a top 6RW goal scorer for Eklund & Couture.
Skilled big winger to protect Bordeleau and for him to feed the puck to.
top 4 LD (unless Knyzhov is really recovered from injury and NHL ready again, though a 1 year rental as insurance wouldn't hurt)
top 4 RD (to replace Burns or Karlsson once/if one is dealt)

But our Biggest need is for Vlasic to get his head out of his rectum and realize he is still a highly paid hockey player and not a spectator and get to work.

Thread: Competitive roster for the 22-23 season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Barton isn't going to be all that expensive but a bottom 6 winger you claimed off of waivers and a 29yr old dman doesn't move the needle at all.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>You trade us a 29 year old LD who will be 30 before the season starts in Radim Simek whom we've no use for same with Balcers. Like i said we pass. And in now way am i saying Wings are contenders but we're not giving up assets for players we don't need and are a dime a dozen.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>I don't understand this mentality that because the Wings haven't been good, that adding players that aren't good is ok? The whole point of the the rebuild is to add better players, to become a contender again, not tread water with more tweeners and bad players.

Neither of those players help us move forward, so they have no value to us.</div></div>
You guys do realize that you can advocate for DET to pass without being facetiously condescending about the said player you're passing on, right? Baclers is not a "tweener", "bad player", "a dime a dozen", or simply a "guy claimed off waivers". Barabanov was a guy SJ claimed off waivers as well, and he was easily worth two 2nds at the past trade deadline and just earned a very lowball 2.5aav contract (most were expecting 3-4mil).

Similarly, Balcers has a great deal of value. He has very good advanced analytics, is an RFA at the end of next season so you have control over his rights, and his cap hit for next year is only 1.55mil -- that's great value to many teams around the league. He's worth a 2nd rounder. Sure, he had a down year last year points-wise (unlucky and injuries coupled with being on a bad SJ team), and that's fine if DET passes on him, just stop trying to pass him off as a nobody when that's just not true.

Thread: SJ Realistic Prudent Offseason Sign Marchment Ship Out Hill Simek Buy Out Labanc
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>I could see it going either way. I know they named him Team RotY but at the same time his play really fell off the 2nd half of the season (not entirely his fault, coaching obv a big reason in that too, but he's still a question mark himself at the end of the day too) and he hasn't really been vouched for by other coaches/players for whatever that's worth. With the season the Sharks had I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they ship him for a 2nd/3rd just as they parted ways with Donato last year after they brought him in expecting him to solidify a spot in the top-6 and he failed to do so. Similar thing happened with IMO, though not as bad. I think the Sharks will ofc be looking to make roster changes, so who's left out? Gregor/Balcers/Nieto, even Bonino, all have been making strong arguments to stay in the lineup for next year. I'm not sure Dahlen's done enough. Don't think that he's the bane of the team and needs to be shipped at all, he's just a question mark to me is all, and one that I could easily see SJ parting with. I was definitely on team ShipOutDonato at the end of last season, I'm definitely not on that team with Dahlen though.

In any case, I could easily see SJ giving him 1 more year to prove it on a 1 year deal. Updated this roster to have that reflected.</div></div>

i like the roster you’ve put together, i fully agree with your assessment of Dahlen, my one reason to not trade him is the first half of the season, he was on fire right up until he jacked up his shoulder since that game he hasn’t been the same player. i feel an offseason to heal and bulk up a bit he might return to that first half form where he was looking like a 20-25 G 45-50 point player. Marchment is probably not as good as his stats in from this year but his underlying metrics are better than his linemates and you can’t teach 6’4” 205 lbs lol. he would be a great addition to add some grit and muscle, my only worry is his addition blocks Coe next year who I am very high on. and that’s a smallish and weak 4th line, i’d like our 4th better with Raska Reedy and Weatherby. size grit checking &amp; tenacity with a little offence sprinkled in but it’s hard to move Bonino and his D plus 15 goals from a bottom 6 guy is crazy to want to move.
