Speculation: 2023-24-25-26 Sharks Roster Discussion

  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.

9OA + 27OA + top 10 protected 2027 1st + Musty? Helps soften the blow of them not having those two future 1sts


Seems like an overpay by the Rangers but maybe they really want Stenberg for some reason

yea agreed, got a bit greedy.

we'd prob need to throw in a prospect or 27th OA to even it out and include all but don't really need Schneider if it comes down to it. but a 2OA is rarely moved and NY should try to make splash after Knicks win. Drury has to be under some pressure.
 
Why would the leafs trade Knies? Makes no sense to sign raddysh, get mckenna, then turn around and sell your top line W for futures.

Rather than give up Knies, Draft Stenberg, sign Mason Marchment for 2 x 8M (big increase from his 4.5 and an overpay for shorter term) as a UFA and keep #9, 27, 62, etc for D. I wouldnt be surprised to see grier try to add marchemnt on a short but big contract given his age, but also our ample cap space and the Marchment connection to the Sharks.
 
Mantha is another hulking W grier could target on a short term big $ deal. Grier has functionally unlimited cap space this year and similarly huge next year. I would be pleased to get a little bit more size and experience in the top 6 to give Warso some flexibility.

To be honest, at this point we should be past having to egregiously overspend to lure players nor am I interested in players just looking for a bloated payday.

We have 46M in cap space this year and 86M next year. What does it hurt to overpay a good vet for a short term deal?

If Rielly comes, thats up to 7.5. Graf might be up to 5. kessel up to 5. Mukh, up to 2. Ostoy, up to 2. stenberg would be 1. That still leaves around 25M under the cap. Even if you add 15 for mack, 10 for Smith, 5 for asky, an a few other deals, it would still leave some 25M next year too.

It would suck for grier to just waste over 20M in cap space or use it by adding $10M of dead space like Price or Ellis for a mid round pick. I'd much rather add a quality piece on a short term deal.

With expected cap hits for Graf, Kesselring, Mukhamadullin, Ostapchuk, and maybe Desharnais, we're only going to need to spend something like $5-10 million to hit the cap floor, which is where we spend for another defenseman.

We do not need to sign pointless marginal players just to eat up cap space - we just need to be at the cap floor.
