Thread: Leafs fan helping Oilers make playoffs

This may get us a first but 3 years of sloppy soup would be a nonstarter, at least not without additional draft capital coming our way (I'm talking of at least an additional 2nd round pick). If anything, the Sharks should further shed bad contracts to add more cap room for the youngsters, not add another awful contract to the books. Sharks say no thanks.

Thread: dumps

Unless the Sharks can find a way to banish Armia to Robidas Island, I don't think they'd do this. Yes they'd save cap for this season, but Armia has an additional year left on his deal and I don't see the Sharks wanting him to take a spot that could be filled by a youngster in the Cuda or juniors.

Thread: Manson for Benning

Sharks have more than enough defensemen as is on the farm system, many of whom will need opportunities at the NHL level soon. Manson would block their opportunities, so this trade doesn't make sense from a personnel and development perspective.

This is actually a reasonable offer for Benning but for the reasons mentioned above, Sharks would probably decline.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 18 at 8:58 p.m.

Thread: Swapping Outskirts

If the Nucks are interested in Benning, a 3rd/4th round pick in itself should be enough.

I know the Sharks have more than their fair share of pylons already so I don't think they'll be looking to add Myers even if he's meant to be filler for the cap. I do think Labanc should move on since Mike and Quinn are both clearly through with him (and have much shorter leashes with players than DW did), but I think that should be in a separate trade at a different time.

What can you say, we're rebuilding a network in San Jose. Mike will take all the pylons he can get.

Thread: TDL 24

I have love for Sturm, but I'd do that trade if I were Grier. Would help our rebuild by adding another 1st round pick (even if late or end of 1st), and it would open up spots for youngsters to step into.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 11 at 7:23 p.m.

Thread: Garland traded

I actually like Garland, but his contract wouldn't make sense for the Sharks to take on without Vancouver retaining a portion of his salary or attaching a pick to compensate. If the Canucks are willing to retain 1.5M, then I think the Sharks would consider this. However, with Musty and Gushchin in our farm system, Garland would only take a spot from them in the bigs. Overall, I don't think our team would make a lot of sense for Garland to be traded to at this time.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 11 at 7:16 p.m.

Thread: Hoop

Given the Sharks are already retaining EK65 and Burnzie, we only have one remaining spot for salary retention. This trade would thus be impossible to do, and I don't think JT would be willing to waive his NMC for a rebuilding team. We'd also much rather have additional draft picks pending on who the Leafs are asking for from our team than taking on Tavares' contract at this time.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 11 at 7:10 p.m.

Thread: Duke No barbie

This would be a terrible trade for the Sharks. We are finally replenishing the farm system, and the last thing the Sharks need to do in their rebuild is trade away top picks. I love to have Pettersson in teal, but I'd much rather us get him as a UFA and not via a trade that would lose us draft capital.

Forum: Trade Machine ProposalsOct. 10 at 4:29 p.m.

Thread: 2c for Boston

This trade makes sense in terms of adding a proper 1A goalie to a franchise that has suffered from bad goaltending for years now. It does seem that Couture may look for a trade in the offseason, but we'll be out of retention slots given we're already on the books for Burns and EK65. This is fair for all sides to be clear, but the loss of a likely 1st rounder and losing flexibility over retention wouldn't be the best outcome for SJ's side.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 10 at 4:10 p.m.

Thread: building on another post

This is a great deal for the Sharks. I almost feel bad about how lopsided this deal would be, and I'm most certain Sharks would have to give up assets for Vanecek. As proposed though? Hell yes, the Sharks would accept.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 10 at 3:04 p.m.

Thread: mbmb

Sharks only have a single spot for retention left, but Duclair's out of contract at the end of this season anyway. And a 1st plus a 5th isn't a bad return at all. Jury's out for me, but this is a trade I could see the Sharks accepting.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 10 at 3:03 p.m.

Thread: dEtRoIt Red WIngS

Yeah, Sharks don't do that trade. Reim's form dropped like a stone in his final year in SJ, and his antics re: pride jerseys pretty much made him a persona non grata for a market known for valuing the LGBTQ community.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 3 at 1:02 p.m.

Thread: EK65 Three Team Trade

This is an awful deal for the Sharks' end. No first-round picks and we get saddled with Granlund's bad contract and one of the worst pylons in the league in Ristolainen WITHOUT either Pitt or Philly retaining for their salaries. And this is with us retaining salary for EK65? Ha! Yeah, this would lead me to block Dubas' and Briere's numbers if I was Mike.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Kyle Burroughs (3 Years / $1,100,000 AAV)

I guess he'll be used in the 2nd or 3rd D lines once EK65 gets traded out, but wouldn't he just take a spot that could be earned by a youngster in Juniors or in the Cuda? I mean, his cap hit isn't bad and it seems like he'll be missed in Vancouver if reactions here are anything to go by, but I'm curious about the thought process behind this signing.

Forum: NHL SigningsJul. 1 at 6:08 p.m.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Ryan Carpenter (1 Year / $775,000 AAV)

Welcome back Carpenter. Definitely a depth signing and one that will likely see more action with the Cuda but I'm sure he's happy to be back in the Bay.

Forum: NHL SigningsJul. 1 at 6:07 p.m.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Givani Smith (2 Years / $800,000 AAV)

I can't see him getting too many games but it's good to have people who can protect youngsters and finish fights if need be. With Gecko coming in and potentially Gushchin, Bords, Muk or Bystedt, last thing we want is for someone from Vegas or LA injuring them (like what Brown did to Hertl in the latter's rookie year). Can't complain.

Forum: NHL SigningsJul. 1 at 6:04 p.m.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Scott Sabourin (2 Years / $775,000 AAV)

More of a Cuda signing, but good to add some toughness to protect the youngsters coming into our system. Can be buried without cap penalty too if he stays in the AHL. Not bad.

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Jonathan Drouin (1 Year / $825,000 AAV)

Remember when scouts and pundits thought Drouin was going to be a stud and that the Panthers made a mistake in drafting Barkov ahead of him? Fun times lol.

Thread: New York Islanders signed Ilya Sorokin (8 Years / $8,250,000 AAV)

Lou and long-term deals with mid-6ers and goalies (doubly so if they came from NJ or Toronto). Like PB&J.

Forum: NHL SigningsJul. 1 at 6:01 p.m.

Thread: New York Islanders signed Pierre Engvall (7 Years / $3,000,000 AAV)

Engvall proved to be a great fit for the Islanders' mid-6 and honestly, he's been more impactful for them than Horvat. I would've stuck to 3-4 years if I was Lou but I really don't think this contract is nearly as bad for them as some are saying on this thread.

Thread: Comparing to My Mock and Grading Real World Results

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>Appreciate the thought and effort into this!

Molendyk is a bit of a reach, but he's a very good skater. My guess is Trotz wanted more mobile defenders on the back end, and he could eventually get mentored by Josi. His offensive game needs work but the upside is there. Gonna be exciting to see how him and Wood pan out.</div></div>

Thanks! Makes sense they would want a mobile defenseman and one thing Nashville does very well is in developing defensemen at the NHL level. I do think getting their forward situation should've been their #1 priority but I could be proven wrong in my assessment. Regardless, it's gonna be fun to see how guys that are projects and reaches in this class turn out in the coming years.

Thread: Without Me

Yeah I just don't see any of these trades happening. We won't trade down even for a guy like Sandin in return and #8, since we need Top-line centers on our team. The toronto trade does look tempting, though I don't see us retaining more than $4M. Perhaps that and swap McMann, Niemela, and the depth picks for 2024 1st then it may be something to consider. It would be awesome to get Pickles off the books, but I don't see him or his dogs waiving their NMC for a college dorm in Tempe.

10/10 lyrics though. Would listen again.

Thread: NSH has called San Jose about 4th OVR Per Lebrun

I highly doubt we're trading down from #4. We need a top-line center prospect yesterday, so I really don't see Mike giving up whoever is left tween Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith.

We've also had really, REALLY bad luck (and development) with goalies so even if Askarov joins the Sharks in a trade like this, I don't see how our team is not going to **** things up with him. I'd strongly advise against this trade.
