We are bragging about 6 NHL games in like 3 years since the trade?
Linus kalsson is such an important part of the Canucks roster, i am not sure how they can live without his 4 career regular season games and his 2 career playoff games with an amazing 0 points.
Yah, DW fully shit the bed on that one. OMG ROFLMAO 
I'm not sure how the Sharks got by without this guy this year, could have lost another game or two with him in for Kunin.What the f*** does this have to do with anything regarding the Sharks roster? Feels like you're just trolling. I guess I shouldn't complain about the free comedy. Thanks for the laugh.
I can’t wait until Bar supplants your hero Puujiarvi wherever the f*** he is now.
Because we all know how much it bugs him when he has to talk about DW. I imagine he’s got a dartboard in his man cave with Doug’s face on it.

blow it up
I trimmed my ignore list recently, and somebody ended back on it next day lmao
He does, and it’s unhealthy. It also undermines his stance on a lot of issues. It’s hard to know if his opinion isn’t entirely rooted in a hatred for the previous regime as opposed to a more measured and objective approach.

Feels more like grasping at straws and stretched speculation than anything. I also hate Drai and think he’s the most overrated star player out there. I’d hate this move so muchThis would be crazy if a top FA actually wanted to come to the sharks!

Very well-said.
If you're annoyed by a post or a poster, argue the point, or ignore him. Grousing about it is not only immature, but could be counter-productive.
Now we HAVE to hire Marco Sturm as coach.
One thing I don't get is why everybody was so ok with how quickly Doug Wilson Jr. was being promoted within the organization. Is it not strange for a guy to go from the marketing department to arguably the most important position in the organization in like 4 years?

It was criticized from the start.
People wanted a change at that level is a large part of it and the understanding that nothing we do actually means anything in terms of what a manager chooses. Like being okay with it or not doesn't change what happened.
You can fact check most of this before making these kinds of statements.
For example, DW Jr.'s work history in professional hockey does not include any time in the Marketing Department.
Here's the thread where both DWJr. and Burke were "promoted," if you want to see reactions.
He was in charge of the 2017 draft. According to his Linkedin he was hired as an intern in April of 2011. So yeah, I guess I exaggerated a little bit.You can fact check most of this before making these kinds of statements.

People were excited for a change and for a somewhat forward thinking person to be in charge. The nepotism was bad of course but nothing new for hockey, and we still have plenty of it in the current group

Whose son with zero previous pro hockey experience works in the current front office?
"Forward thinking" = thinking like hockey stat nerds on the internet. Nothing against those guys and gals but it is indisputable that actual NHL teams scooped up the cream of the crop years ago. DWJr. with his Elite Prospects subscription is no match for the legit quants working for some of these clubs.
I'm not saying teams don't make ill-advised moves anymore but with DW, Benning, Chiarelli, Fletcher and soon Holland gone from the top job along with the superiority of private analytics, we need to stop pretending we know more than them. Those days are over. Now trades are mostly just a method of mutual problem-solving.

This Draisaitl talk is so silly to me, it’s like one little snippet in a conversation “oh he may want to go there because Germany” and now it’s in multiple outlets. I get that it’s a slow news week but…
