Thread: Shaking things up to compete

Sharks dont even consider. It isn't even close

Thread: CBC316

Sharks like weatherby a lot. Doubt they move him anytime soon. Homegrown literally, jasper grew up a sharks fan and his dad is still a season ticket holder. He's staying put.

But the deal isn't bad. I'd do it, sharks wouldn't.

Thread: devils draft Cooley and make a run at playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeadHighSauce</b></div><div>He’s 35 and a pending UFA. You’re not getting a top 40 pick for him cmon.</div></div>

Then you're not getting him as your goalie. Move on. We don't have to move him, his cap hit is reasonable and he's stealing wins for us constantly. I'm sorry you're butthurt over it but your trade offer simply isn't enough.

Wright is better right now. Cooley could end up being the better player. Nemec is a top 3.

They don't usually. You have scouts ranking him higher as well. I do agree he'll go between 8-12 but all I am saying is that he is potentially a steal at that ranking. This guy has to work on just a couple things to become a top line NHL forward while scouts are overrating the hell out of Slafkovsky and Yurov. I am not the only one in this thinking. But we will see.

Don't expect a return in a Lucic dump and certainly not from a team that NEEDS it's picks.

Thread: 4/21 Mock Draft 2022

Doubt Nazar is available for SJ. But very likely Sharks pick Lekkerimaki. Korchinski should be a 1st rounder IMo otherwise it's a good draft.

Rather Nieto than those three. Easy pass.

That contract would be insulting to Bergeron. He would pack up and leave the second Boston offered it.

Thread: Nemec

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dmh1055</b></div><div>Why? They're only 25 and can be a big part of turning things around quickly. The Flyers are not as bad as their record indicates. They've just been very unhealthy. They lacked a 3rd line center entering this season along with defensive depth. Injuries to Couturier and Hayes decimated them at center and the injury to Ellis crushed their defense. Not many teams would be successful if they lost their top 2 centers and best defenseman for most of the season.</div></div>

OK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>If I'm an NHL team, I have concerns about anything not transition-related since that's what he excels in, and you don't pick a guy because he does great transitions in the top 5</div></div>

You're not drafting him just for his transition game. He is an elite level skater and thinks the game at a high level.. While there are areas of development needed (everyone in this draft will require development) especially his shot if he does hone in on those things Lambert is a top line player in the NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>benkel</b></div><div>Done.</div></div>

SJ isn't trading Kahkonen. They spent a lot to get him and have made it clear that Kahkonen is firmly in the orgs future plans. Hill is likely odd man out. Would be stupid to move Kaapo cause then it's trading Middleton for a 5th and a late 2nd how dumb.

Nemec would be a great starting piece for a retool. You guys should definitely get assets for Konecny and Provorov this summer though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TZ11</b></div><div>Miroshnichenko isn't going that high.

It is possible someone takes Lambert in the 7-9 range but 4 is definitely too high.</div></div>

No one factors in that Lambert has played for 2 terrible teams in Liiga. Of course his numbers are going to suffer. Coupled with the fact that Liiga is a low scoring league dominated by veterans. If someone gets Lambert at 7-12, it's a steal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>Miro at 2??? He literally has cancer and has huge consistency, defense and vision issues. Nemec at 14 is a joke too, he’s easily a top 5 pick and who’s Viggo Andren because I’ve never seen his name even being mentioned by people who scout before</div></div>

Andren is a goalie in Frolunda's system lol. I'd venture to say he's not even in the top 10 of goalies in this draft. May not even get picked in this draft.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunnymcfoo</b></div><div>Yup, all signs point to Gaudreau and Chrona staying where they are, and they're probably planning a tandem of Chunko and Strauss for the Cuda - which would be a HUGE improvement over the leaky sieves that we've got in net right now. No offense intended to Emond or Stalock, but they're both painful to watch.</div></div>

Chunko had almost equally as bad numbers as Emond with the cuda. Emond is 3 years younger and with a full summer of work could be better. That's the direction I'd go.

He's not even that short at 6'
His numbers in NCAA, Olympics and SHL have been elite level
On top of all that he seems like a great kid. I think we got a steal here.
