Speculation: 2022-23 Sharks Roster Discussion Part II

[Jargon]

Karlsson isn't a dummy. He would have heard about these rumors by now and it's very easy for him to call Grier and say, nope. I'm sure if he looked at his career over the next four years and had to decide between playing with McDavid and having a real chance at the cup or playing with Harrington and having a real chance at a top 5 draft pick, he's going to pick the Oilers 100% of the time.

just wants a free ticket tbh

Didn't Grier demote him anyway? Maybe he's scouting talent for a new Sharkie.

Burke going to that game just tells me that neither party is interested. Burke's a master of unnecessary 5d-chess.

 

[TheBeard]

It's weird with Karlsson in that theoretically we should just dump him for the first offer and take advantage of an aging D-man having a historical season, but actually hurts us both now and probably in the future.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Fantastic interview with Mike McKenna from Sheng Peng; McKenna absolutely lays into the Sharks's goaltending, questioning Nabokov and the team's scouting.

An appropriate role for Will! (can he skate?)

I posted the article yesterday. Nabby getting "promoted" to the director of goaltending is probably for the best considering the failings of having him be the only goaltending voice in the FO. We'll have to see how Thomas Speer does but I was looking at his LinkedIn and he does have a more modern goalie coaching training, and cooperated directly with Mike Valley for a long time too.

Tim Burke scouting the Habs And Hawks? Apparently scouting to see how a real tank is done in person..

Dreger: I still think Tom Fitzgerald and the New Jersey Devils end up being the landing spot (for Timo Meier

 

[Hale The Villain]

If Ottawa were to put Chabot on the table in a deal for Karlsson would the Sharks be interested?

Feel like that's a swap that could benefit both teams.

if Chabot is pronounced Stutzle… Then yes.

 

[Levie]

Karlsson on the Oilers would solidify the new meta that Seattle is trying to set. Goalies don't matter just score more goals.

The sharks did this for a few years with Jones

Probably, if the Sharks felt like they could flip Chabot for futures. Keeping Chabot does nothing for the Sharks, he’s the same age as Meier.

Ottawa has to retain 50% on Chabot.

Agreed. The Nabokov experiment has clearly failed

Good. I never understood why the Sharks would bring in a goalie coach who played an outdated style. (i know why, but still)

Meier and EK65 mentions, but nothing new.

 

[OffSydes]

Nurse for EK65 straight up

 

[STL Shark]

Meier and EK65 mentions, but nothing new.

Sharks being mentioned as the favorites for Valterri Pulli seemed notable.

Been off the grid here most of the season dealing with some family health stuff. Personally, think the route that Grier is going is positive in starting to tear it down and am excited to see what sort of talent he's able to add to this roster in the next 4 months between the draft, TDL, and UFA. Fact that we're assuredly trading Meier and entertaining Karlsson trade offers means that I think we hired the right guy for the job rather than a yes man that was going to keep miring in mediocrity and not change course in either direction.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Nurse for EK65 straight up

Why on earth would San Jose do that?

 

[spintops]

The perfect fit: Timo Meier
The trade: Meier and a 2023 fourth-round pick for LHD prospect Alexander Nikishin, C prospect Ryan Suzuki and Carolina’s 2023 first-round pick


The perfect fit: Timo Meier
The trade: Meier (50 percent retained) for RW Alexander Holtz, a 2023 first-round pick, RD Seamus Casey, a 2024 fourth-round pick and Andreas Johnsson

First look had me thinking those were different value packages but it’s just because of Johnsson and the 4th on closer look. I’d be okay with either of those although I’d prefer the CAR one.

 

[Levie]

Why on earth would San Jose do that?

Because the Sharks hate us.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Id do the NJ one. Holtz, Casey and that late 1st are pretty solid assets. Adresses the forward and D groups and that late 1st can be flipped for two 2nds easily. 3 2nd rd picks seems like it’s right up MG’s alley.

The TPS connection makes that a no brainer. We should have a good idea of what his game is like
