Speculation: 2022 Summer/off season Sharks Roster Discussion

[Pavelski2112]

Grier making all the right moves. Now just clean house of Will, Burke and Nabokov.

DW Jr. was the only member of the org who was worth keeping around

But I agree that they should absolutely let the latter three go.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Grier making all the right moves. Now just clean house of Will, Burke and Nabokov.

Hodge is right. Will, Burke and Nabokov should all be gone. Bring in an entire new staff with no personal connections to any current players.

He can't let go of Will. If Nabokov was going to be fired, it would have been when Boughner was let go.

I imagine that they're going to let Burke retire...

 

[weastern bias]

Cool, the one guy who was doing his job is gone

On the bright side, at least I'll die one day

Qualifying gadjovich over Dahlen is very silly

I don't feel good about where we're heading. . .

 

[Kcoyote3]

we all see the Gadjovich is f***ing terrible at hockey right

 

[one2gamble]

Qualifying gadjovich over Dahlen is very silly

wtf.....

 

[Pavelski2112]

Qualifying gadjovich over Dahlen is very silly

Dark times are ahead for this org.

 

[hohosaregood]

We tankin', that's the only explanation

 

[Gecklund]

Qualifying gadjovich over Dahlen is very silly

Great. This team might not be good but at least they won’t have any prospects but third liners and bottom pairing D coming up! Unless there’s some huge changes I more than likely will not be watching this team this year.

 

[Hodge]

It makes complete sense to qualify Gadjovich over Dahlen. Gadjovich does not have arbitration rights and will almost certainly just accept his QO because he has no other options.

 

[Gecklund]

It makes complete sense to qualify Gadjovich over Dahlen. Gadjovich does not have arbitration rights and will almost certainly just accept his QO because he has no other options.

But like he sucks. Why not just not qualify either? They have enough guys already. I can easily build a roster without either.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Qualifying gadjovich over Dahlen is very silly

Sharks are gonna be a ton of fighters and physical players with no offense, Hertl, Meier, and the shells of Erik Karlsson and Couture at this rate

 

[Alaskanice]

Welcome back, Jonah!!

 

[OrrNumber4]

No surprise on them qualifying Gadjovich. The staff clearly had/has a high opinion of his potential.

In fairness to them, in many ways, Gadjovich reminds me of what Ryane Clowe or Barclay Goodrow was at one point. But, both those players got a lot of developmental time that I'm not sure Gadjovich will get.

 

[Selachimorpha]

This reads more like DWjr chose to leave.

Wonder if this is due to a philosophical divide between him and the new FO. The org is clearly moving in the direction of size and physicality over skill and speed. DWjr clearly favored skill and speed, and probably realized at the draft that this was no longer the priority and figured it'd be best to move on. This is just a freaking mess of an organization.

I'm just fearful that we trade more 1st rounders for the sake of getting better now.

We're gonna be tough to play against.

We aren't going to be tough to score against, or tough to keep from scoring, but we're going to be tough to play against!

 

[one2gamble]

they might at least be fun to watch as opposed to whatever it is we have right now but there is no real reason to keep him

 

[Selachimorpha]

We're gonna be tough to play against.

We aren't going to be tough to score against, or tough to keep from scoring, but we're going to be tough to play against!

Calling it now - Nicolas Deslauriers, 5 year contract. Signed within 10 minutes of FA opening...

 

[rideaucrusher21]

Gadjovich on the team will only help the chances of a high pick next year. But between the draft and the latest personnel decisions, it does feel pretty ominous for Grier’s tenure.

 

[Groo]

We're gonna be tough to play against.

We aren't going to be tough to score against, or tough to keep from scoring, but we're going to be tough to play against!

At least it won't be the entire trifecta anymore
I can only hope the peel n teal era of hockey is gone for good

 

[Hodge]

But like he sucks. Why not just not qualify either? They have enough guys already. I can easily build a roster without either.

He brings a physical element and willingness to drop the gloves that they need to protect the smurfs like Eklund, Bordeleau and Barabanov. Same reasoning as the Kunin trade which I understand now given the broader context of what Grier wants this team to be. They are going to suck on the ice but at least not get pushed around.

 

[WTFetus]

Grier also likely greenlit Boughner's firing, but let's not talk about that

As much as I liked DW, his last 2-3 years were extremely bad. Not entirely on him as he relies on his pro scouts, but the results of his trades/signings have been mostly big L's.

Also, how are the pro scouts/FO staff who recommended Dahlen, Hill, Pederson still around? Hopefully Grier makes some significant FO changes soon.

100% agree with this. I still like the EK65 trade, but everything else was borderline questionable or bad, including the Kane re-signing to 7x7, buying out Jones last season when you've made no other significant changes to the roster,

 

[Pavelski2112]

The only way I can justify any of this is they're trying to recapture the magic of those early Sharks teams.
