Speculation: 2022 Summer/off season Sharks Roster Discussion

[STL Shark]

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.

Cap space is the most valuable asset for Burns. The prospects or players that would be coming back from either of those teams are probably not going to do this roster any good unless you can add something to Burns to pry Necas from Carolina in a buy low situation after Jarvis took his spot for cheaper last year. That sad, I doubt an organization as smart as Carolina would do something like that.

Another Flame to free agency

He's one that I could see in SJ given the statement about getting bigger and tougher on defense. Skates well and is a big body. Has still struggled to put it all together at the NHL level, but he played better in Calgary last year, albeit in a sheltered 3rd pairing minutes role. Him and Colin Miller are two D-Men that I would be interested in tomorrow with Burns likely out the door and the Sharks in need of 2nd pairing mins to be filled.

Zadorov is a lefty.

Don’t forget Zadorovs expected deal is a 4.5x4, so would be an excellent choice for a team that desperately needs cap

Is that really what people are expecting he’s going to get?

Dude got 3rd pairing at best minutes in Calgary (3rd team in 3 years), doesn’t put up points, and was heavily sheltered in zone starts. He’s a #5 D-Man that will play the body and skates well for his size. Someone is going to look really stupid if that’s what they pay him.

Zadorov is a lefty.

Miller would be the Burns replacement in this situation.

 

[Barrie22]

Malkin is no longer a option.

 

[Internazionale]

Zadorov would be perfect for a tank season. Slow and always in the box.

GMMG: "Let's just cut the bullshit and let bygones be bygones. We'll reinstate your contract. Final offer."
EK9: "Fine."
GMMG: "FINE."

EK65, Vlasic, and Couture demand a trade. HF Sharks erect a statue for Grier.

Kane betting on himself in free agency….When does it end?!

When he stops scoring goals I guess

 

[OrrNumber4]

Solid contract for Malkin. If I were a contending team I'd gladly take him on that contract.

 

[Great Makohead Shork]

McCarthy said in his media availability today that the best players are going to make the team and "this isn't a rebuild, it's a recharge."

First time I've heard that "r" word used. Is a recharge a lighter retool? Somewhere between a rebuild and retool? Replacing Patty's veins with cables so Cyborg Marleau can defend his all time games played record for an eternity? McCarthy did say he showed up to the rink unannounced...

Was he talking about the Sharks or the Barracuda?

I don’t think it matters much. It’s whatever Grier wants it to be, and it won’t be over until the next guy decides

So next year when the new GM comes in. That's good.

Sharks.

Curtis asked him about letting players marinate in the AHL for some seasoning. This was McCarthy's answer: "The Sharks are going to be competitive, right, so the best players are going to make the team." Later adds: "The best players will play on the Sharks."

 

[LadyStanley]

Malkin is no longer a option.

Solid contract for Malkin. If I were a contending team I'd gladly take him on that contract.

Malkin agrees to four-year, $24.4 million contract with Penguins

4 years. $24m ish.

IIRC it was term for the sticking point. Perhaps he reduced $$ a bit and they came to agreement.

 

[Karl Prime]

Good that Malkin can finish his career with Pittsburgh. Hopefully he can stay healthy because he's still a beast when on the ice.

 

[LadyStanley]

Burns and Lebanc may be on the move

 

[Anomie2029]

Moving Burns and Labanc (assuming no significantly bad deals back or loss of assets) will be Grier’s first good move.

 

[mogambomoroo]

Cautiously excited about free agency!

It's going to be personally hard to let Brent Burns go, I know it's not official yet. That was one of the guys I really wanted to witness in October for my first Sharks match but this is the name of the game. One of the greatest Sharks players all time, gonna go down as the best defensemen of the Sharks so far.

Labanc had a lot potential when he had Jumbo by his side, but then again who doesn't when you play with Jumbo. I hope they get a trade done, to get some cap space. Great memories from the Game 7 4 points in 5 minute PP.

I kinda like that things are changing fast, after Pavs left there wasn't a lot that really excited the fanbase (if you don't count drafting Eklund, Meier 5-goal night against LA and Bordeleau OT winner against Vegas)
Let there be more positive things for the next chapter of San Jose Sharks

 

[STL Shark]

Sounds like that happening later this week or later this summer thing was premature potentially. Curious what the return looks like for the Sharks and scared of what sort of contract/retention gets latched onto the deal.

[spintops]

Kane resigns in EDM

 

[OffSydes]

MG has a bidding war on his hands. This can make or break his Shorks career.
