Speculation: 2019-2020 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Lebanezer]

5 points and -5 in 7 games is shut down. Atleast that is what i am always told by thornton haters on here.

He also had 0 points in games 5, 6 and 7.

Examining the chances Sharks make a roster move during 2019 NHL Draft

Pure speculation. Based on history, DW might make moves at draft. But no specific rumors of who might move or might be targeted.

 

[Groo]

Any love for Boychuk?
Perhaps a Boychuk and Ross package deal?

Some reports saying that Skinner may re-sign with Buffalo for $9M x 8. That seems like a lot of money for a winger who has never hit over 65 points a season.

Worked for kane. But then again kane finally got a full season on a team that actually won games on a regular basis.

Losing every night has to be bad for confidence even if you are good.

Total points may not be that high, but he just scored 40 goals on a meh team. That is going to get you paid.

And he hit 61 points in the playoffs.... er, my mistake... that was PIMs.

So Kane has never hit 60 points or more in a regular season. He came close in his first year with the Jets, and here, but that's been it.

Clearly, Kane is not an assist, setup kind of a forward. He a goal scoring winger. He will never reach his potential until he lowers his league leading PIMs.

 

[Jaleel619]

Hmm.. Part of why Kane remains effective is because of his physicality so I dont mind his PIM. Also, I still think we haven't seen the best of him. I think he's still adjusting to winning on a winning team, cuz when he came here he was dishing passes left and right and slowly went back to individual effort ( I dont mind on this team). I think he can top 60 points at some point.

Holy crap the nightmare is over. We can rest easy that DW won't sign Polak as a Karlsson replacement.

LOL. I actually suggested a little while back that I would not be surprised if the Sharks bring back Polak.

He'll just trade for him.... :'(

Paywall. Athletic with their top 25 buyout candidates. (No Sharks) No one that I think the Sharks might target.

 

[Jargon]

Rights to EK65 and our 1st in 2025 for Polak.

But then he'll trade like Melker and Dillon for Subban and we won't know what to feel.

I love the "hockey player" assertion. I know what it means in a figurative sense, it's just always fun to take literally. Like "really? I didn't know that. I thought he was a competitive jai alai player."

He would probably be more competent at that...

 

[Jaleel619]

One thing I liked about Pollak is he got Dillon going physically.

It usually is used to describe someone that has no quantifiable skill or abilities, but is still a veteran in the NHL and is just all intangibles. Aside from that though, I am kind of upset Dallas re-signed him as that was a solid landing spot for Braun via trade in my mind.

 

[Sharksrule04]

We need to keep bringing in more youth. Marleau's ship has sailed for me. Easy pass.

Only scenario I take on Marleau is if EK walks, we can't sign any top UFA's AND Toronto is throwing in a top prospect. They don't have first round picks this season so they can't throw us one of those. I guess I'd accept it if they threw us a 2020 first round pick and Marleau. If we aren't filling that cap space it would be worth it to bring him in for 1 last season and get a pick/top prospect in return. Or Kadri as others have mentioned.

Pretty sure Dallas is still in the market for someone like Braun. It would just push Polak down the chart to a more suitable location. They may not end up keeping Lovejoy who was the other RHD after Klingberg. I think it's still a suitable potential landing spot.

I mean, he technically is a hockey player. It doesn't mean he's any good at it.

Listening to HC12 talk about the Sharks this morning, idk about you guys, but i'd be pretty disappointed in Pavelski if he asked for anything more than 5M AAV, especially knowing how that would handcuff the team. Wouldn't a true leader take a financial hit to make a play at a bigger fish?

Maybe DW can guarantee him a spot in the org after he retires or something.

You can turn that around and say that if DW offers anything less than 7M to the captain of the team who has led by example for so many years it would be an insult to him. Also, this is the last chance for Pavs to earn a paycheck. He is getting slower by the year and probably wont have the longevity of a Marleau or Thornton.

 

[LadyStanley]

Against CBA to promise anything outside scope of contract, including post career position (in writing).

 

[Jaleel619]

Hey if theres one player id like is Mats Zucarrelo. He's loyal as hell!!!! I like those players.

He's a Center that shoots left. So.... Could play LW with Thornton. What if Marleau came back and played LW.

I think Pavelski has made it clear its SJ. He'd probably take 3-4 or maybe even less for another addition. If he wants to be a hero he should sign for minimum now. or closer to a Million.
A true leader gives, and doesn't take.

I'd like Zucc. Always loved him on the Rangers.
