Thread: As realistic as possible for first round

Sharks not taking Eklund at 7 would be incredibly weird. Fits the mold of what DWjr likes drafting and gives the Sharks a legit guaranteed top six winger

Thread: Would Love Your Input

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyman1208</b></div><div>I like most of it. I don’t think Olausson goes that high and I don’t think Cossa falls that low. As a Minnesota Wild fan I like the Chibrikov pick. Not at all a fan of Zachary L’Heureux. I would rather they draft a guy like Francesco Pinelli at 25 if this is how the drafts folds out. Personally I’m hoping Aatu Räty falls to Minnesota. My dream draft is a combo of Aatu Räty at 21 and Isak Rosén or Nikita Chibrikov at 25. I wouldn’t mind if Minnesota went with a dman like Daniil Chayka at 25 either.</div></div>

My main idea was thinking how to set Rossi up for success the most, but I guess with Chibrikov, Kap, Boldy etc he's in good hands. I would just take Svozil at that spot then if I'm changing positions.

Thread: Wilson makes a splash - My Final take on the Sharks until Draft Day

I like it. I'm not sure the Flames need more wingers, unless they want to replace Tkachuk and Johnny Hockey, but then they'd be full rebuilding.

Not sure Freddy is the ideal goalie, but I think he warrants little term so that makes it smarter than Raanta Driedger Mrazek etc who could warrant 3-4 years.

Thread: Quick Rebuild

The team isn't improved enough to contend, and will just continue to age. And, this pushes down potential young and skilled players like Gregor and Blichfeld and True, and where did Donato and Balcers go?

Thread: What to do

Will Wennberg cost more?

Also Marleau won't return that way, would break his ironman streak. Also no Blichfeld or Gregor because of a pricey Armia pushing people down with little impact. Goalies much better tho!

Thread: wilson magic

That fourth line is magic... if it was 5 years ago.

This is not good. Knyzhov is our second best defensive player behind Ferraro, why're they benched and on the third pair?

Why are we signing older players to be less effective than Gregor Sasha etc?

Rittich would be overpaid, and still better than Jones who has a large chance to be bought out.

Oh god I just realized you have Marleau on the power play

Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nickkbowen25</b></div><div>U desperately need clutch scoring and a great 2C. U get both in Couture.</div></div>

From a Sharks fan... I'm not sure Couture and his six years remaining at 8 mil are a positively valued asset.

Couture gets a lot of defensive shifts, so maybe his numbers increase with less of that load in Boston but I'd really doubt it. He was narrowly a positive impact on scoring chances for the Sharks, he's barely an average 2c.

The playoff performances... I mean sure maybe he can recapture the ppg level.. but his 8mil may restrict this team from building a roster that makes the postseason in a few years.

Thread: Sharks suck again - Rebuild commences

I would hold off on Ozzy playing. We need to maximize his 3 years of elc, and need to push off paying him until we're back on the upswing. Also he might improve our team, which while tanking is counterintuitive

Thread: We Are a Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Klara</b></div><div>Dahlen plays over Blichfeld, Chek over True (move Sasha to 4C)</div></div>

Sasha really should be a wing. For the Cuda he was like 1.5 ppg as a winger (although the power play was kinda going off so it's inflated) so I think he should continue in that position. Not sure who would play PK if True is out of the lineup, I don't want Couture playing it anymore

Thread: We Are a Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Theo_nollaf</b></div><div>I loved this ACGM. It was very realistic and didn't try to sign Dougie Hamilton. One question I have is why did you protect Couture? He's good now but he's getting payed 8 mil until he's 38 and he's already showing a bit of regression. Because of this, I don't think Seattle will take him and you can save Donato for free if you leave Couture unprotected. Do you think this will happen or am I wrong about Couture's impact on the team?</div></div>

I think the optics of Wilson leaving his captain unprotected after signing him for so long just looks really bad. I think Seattle would hardly consider 48 mil more for Couture, but it looks so bad for DW to do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>papishark</b></div><div>I think it happens if CLB takes Mctavish. Detroit will take a D likely or Wall, so as long as Columbus or Anaheim doesn’t take him he’s ours</div></div>

Devils are the largest threat imo. Him with Hischier and Holtz seems sick (I wouldn't use them with Hughes because then they can't puck possess as much)

the team is worse, and has no seconds. I'm not sure I love that look for us.

Thread: Forum For News, Rumors, Reactions and Fun Throughout the 2021 Season! (PART 5)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Some news for the Sharks (for those who care):

- MARLEAU is not retiring; and plans to play next year as he believes he did not play well at all and said it "kept him up" some nights.
- I appreicate the honesty and wish him truly the very best, but if the Sharks resign Marleau ima have a stroke, we need room for the kids.. jfrojelin RawZuccSauce420 papishark

- Sharks are strongly after a legitimate starting goalie
- thank god, Korenar looks comfortable and deserves to be the back up but Melnichuk is obviously not ready. Buy out jones or bury idc. dont play him.

- Also strongly after a solid 3C
- Good idea but I do believe we still could see Gambrell grow if he stays in the offseason and be battling for that spot either way.</div></div>

We have way too many wingers (I'm writing a piece on that tbh ahaha). If we want to be good we need: an offensive 3c, an NHL goalie, Dman depth. Not sure we can acquire all that, so tank IMO

Thread: Improved Mock draft

Sharks would take Clarke. They have 1 RD prospect in their system and he (Merkley) has been struggling in the AHL a lot. Center depth is brutal for the future as well, but at least Bordeleau and Robbins can play C, and we'll likely Sh*t for Shane in 2022

True is a PKer on the Sharks and cuda when playing. I like the size and some better vision. not much differentiates the two

Lenny injury made me wanna cry. I wouldn't be shocked if True moves up the lineup, he looked really good yesterday. Also I know he was skating but not sure Joachim is healthy, if not then Sasha plays

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tarlam01</b></div><div>Next season will be the good one. A lot of improvements this year by these youngsters. Now they just need to add up a 3rd C and some real depth and they're good to go. Also Melnichuk will be starter next season</div></div>

Melni has been nothing short of brutal this year. He's probably just adjusting to NA but he's the worst AHL goalie to play 9 games this year, and it's not like he's improve much, it's just been inconsistent at all times.
