Because we collect the scraps? In all seriousness though, I’d imagine they think all of our young guys start in the AHL. Probably just hoping he can find what made him a first round pick.

Because he’s way better than Jeffrey Viel? How is this difficult to understand?
Another solid low risk medium reward move by GMMG.

I can't find it in me to care about this deal. Probably sits most nights

Very smart.
1. Send Burns to Carolina who then talks about how great living in the Bay Area is.
2. Sign the worse brother to get him an AHL title
3. The more talented brother comes to San Jose

On that note, we have 30 forwards signed to the org right now. Realistically, you need to drop like 3-4 of them. Would guess Ibragimov and Hamaliuk are ECHL bound. And then maybe trade Bonino and Nieto?

I think you’ll see a log jam for a bit but they’ll probably move the FAs at the deadline.

Well that would suck when all of them belong in the bottom 3

What happened to Svechnikov? His scouting report is pretty shiny - good skater, great shot, great hands… couldn’t put it together? He’s only 25.

Not a great skater. Really reall bad skater.
Lots of injuries to his knees. He's not a bad player but he can't keep up with most lines. He has skill but can't really needs someone to do most of the work for him and every now and then he can finish.
If you expect a competent NHL player who will be "ok" in sheltered duty, that's fine. If you expect hidden talent to emerge... it really won't. There are worse players in the league, but ultimately he's really not a regular of any note.

Exactly just couldn’t put it all together. I also think he’s a little dumb. If I had to throw a lineup together right now I’d probably put him on the third line with Bonino and Labanc and see what happens.

Disagree. It's not that he couldn't all together or that he's dumb. He's pretty good at reading plays.
His physical tools just aren't good enough and his body can't do what he wants it to. I don't think he ever would have been a star, but whatever shot he had to be a decent middle 6 secondary scorer were obliterated by injuries. He missed a whole season due to a really bad knee injury and his skating hasn't been the same since.
If you watch him he'll almost always be the 3rd F entering the zone. He makes himself useful by making some plays there as a trailer, but it really limits how effective he can be.

Give me black pants on the homes, and it's perfect.

They feel very leafs to me. Just no real creativity unless you count the teal pants which are pretty meh on the homes.
W/o the black pants they look like pyjamas.

Maybe John Tavares will be a Shark after all.
