Speculation: 2022-23 Sharks Roster Discussion Part II

[Jargon]

No point assuming Karlsson gets moved until there is a team rumoured to be interested with an actual need for him. That was the Oilers, but now they have Ekholm for a while. Next year's D is probably:

Thrun-Karlsson (Thrun gets the Megna treatment)
Ferraro-Benning
Vlasic-Okhotyuk
Simek

And then they trade Vlasic in a miraculous deal and Mukh takes his place.

Think there is a definite point in projecting he's moved given the way that Grier has openly discussed trading him and Karlsson sounding very open to being dealt to a contender based on his comments.

So, Lebrun says that Domi is expected to get a 2nd round pick.
Would Labanc be a good way for Chicago to reach the cap floor? I’m just kibitzing.

I had that thought too but he’s too old, don’t think he really does anything for us. I mean if it’s for Labanc, sure - maybe he has a great year and we flip him at the deadline next year

That was my thought as well.

Sharks are "in the discount aisle "

We’ve skipped right by that and are now browsing that folding table near the bathrooms filled with clearance items that are long since expired.

I don't know. The Namestnikov deal feels more like we grabbed one of those clearance items and threw it out so that we could grab an apple core sitting in the parking lot instead.

 

[Lebanezer]

I cannot imagine being drafted by the coyotes. That would be awful.

It’s so weird, I feel like the last 6 years they go into the draft with 18 1st round picks, get a bunch of good guys, then trade them a couple of years later for more picks. It’s a wild place.

So that's probably CHLers at the moment. College guys once their season is done.

Russians and Swedes. Grier is trying to make us the Red Wings of the 90’s and 2000’s.

I'm Barack Obama, and I support this message.

Everything is so mysteriously quiet for the Sharks..

 

[gaucholoco3]

I wonder if we should have a TDL gameday thread because there are some interesting trades. Quick to Vegas, Voracek to ARI.

 

[Kcoyote3]

All I want are mid round picks for our UFAs. Please

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

"We think James, Nick, and most importantly, Vladislav, are part of our future. So we've decided to keep them"

"We think James, Nick, and most importantly, Vladislav, are part of our future. So we've decided to keep them"

We have signed them all to matching 3.5x5 contracts.

After the crack wore off, the front office is probably taking a well-deserved nap.

Thanks Obama!

 

[Gecklund]

Yet I was called dumb and like talking to a brick wall for not believing it. There are many reasons to call me those things. Not believing Gregor asked for a trade is not one of those.

 

[Karl Prime]

I hadn't even heard there were reports of Gregor making a trade. Or maybe I forgot.

Makes sense they were false as Gregor is never going to get a better chance than in SJ to play in a top 9 role.
