Mason is also 6'4", 220 lbs, big kid who can score while bringing the other qualities Grier seems to covet. Undrafted, real hard working type who is a super late bloomer. The personal connection the team makes sense as well.Marchment may get more empathy from Sharks organization due to his father's death. Wouldn't might another player like Bryan in the system.
Even your first tier is most likely unattainable with such little cap space available. Plus, these guys would have to choose to sign here over another situation, which is a hard sell without a coach in place. My gut is that we're looking/might sign guys who are primarily just happy to get another deal. Remember a few years ago, we signed a FA (forgetting who) who said we were the only ones who called? That's where we are now....Some names that Sharks could be looking at that fit Griers archetype and that we could possibly afford, Mason Marchment, Evan Rodrigues, Andrew Copp, Frank Vetrano, and Max Domi,
Andre Burakovsky, Ondrej Palat, and Nino Niederreiter would be the next tier up and there would have to be some major capspace made, like Burns and Banker.
Kadri, Malkin, and Giroux types are probably a pipedream. You have to get the player to actually want to come play in San Jose.
Don't think Mase will need any empathy to get his next deal. I'd be surprised if there weren't 5-6 teams bidding for him.Marchment may get more empathy from Sharks organization due to his father's death. Wouldn't might another player like Bryan in the system.
Guess that'll make up for Kane's cap spaceLeBrun said on Insider Trading that a Burns trade could happen by the end of the week from what he is hearing. Said he is hearing Carolina and Dallas, which he also said are places believed to be on his 3 team trade list.
agreedMarchment and Copp would be nice
I’m mostly worried about his contract. I think he gets 5-6 years at 5-6M which is WAY too much.Mason is also 6'4", 220 lbs, big kid who can score while bringing the other qualities Grier seems to covet.

woah, that's a DW trademarkTkachuk and a 7th
What could Burns get from Dallas/Carolina? Any ideas, if you were Grier?
I don’t think there is although Grier seems to be intent on creating cap space. I’m hoping more for some offloading.I really don't follow this thread, so I'm sure it's been answered in the last 39 pages, but I'm too lazy to check. Is there anything to be excited about tomorrow from a Shark fan perspective? I feel like the Sharks are still that outsider looking in and Grier still is too new to make that big splash. I don't expect a Blackhawks like move for the Sharks, but I feel like this season is be just "there", same as the last few years.

The penalty for that would be crazy. Simek and Labanc can probably be moved but we're stuck with Pickles for at the very least this season.Am I the only one who thinks that Simek, Labanc, and Vlasic have zero or negative value and that a buy out of all 3 would be a great way to get some additional $$$
I honestly have no idea. It is bittersweet. I’m still a huge fan of his but he serves no purpose for us now.So Burns for picks then? I hate to only get picks for someone of Burns' caliber, but he's been declining in recent years. I wouldn't mind maybe picks and a somewhat above average prospect, and maybe a goalie.
I'd put Copp in at least the second tier if not right on the edge of the top tier. He made himself a ton of money this year. Probably going to be getting $6M a year.Some names that Sharks could be looking at that fit Griers archetype and that we could possibly afford, Mason Marchment, Evan Rodrigues, Andrew Copp, Frank Vetrano, and Max Domi,
