Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[TheBeard]

Well, our coach gives him fewer minutes than Ceci & Walman, both of whom we acquired as cap dumps. And his results are atrocious. We'll probably never find out exactly how Grier feels about him, but he's probably not as high on Ferraro as many think. And I doubt other GMs around the league are either.

Yzerman has shown to be an incompetent GM while Ceci was PURELY a cap dump. We aren't in that position. Mario would have way more value than you think.

Congrats to Blackwood. Thanks for filling in the net while you were here

Great news for me. My first 30 NHL teams are the Sharks, then there's 10 more empty slots but the Avs come in solidly at favorite team #41. Hopefully he can help them turn it around and contend.

#42 is the Canucks because of my best friend, but most of the time they can get f***ed.

I assume we waive one of Georgiev or Vanecek?

A 2nd would be incredible. Kinda doubt we land it, but here's hoping. A 3rd would be fair.

 

[spintops]

Move should help with our tank lol

 

[Juxtaposer]

Mods asleep?

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

I hope Georgiev nor Wedgwood are not part of the deal but I’m sure one of them is. Ugh just saw Georgiev and Kovalenko pretty underwhelming return

I can't imagine us taking on Georgiev and adding a 5th if we weren't getting at least a 2nd in return. Maybe two 3rds?



We got the 2nd.

I expect more than a 2nd coming our way.

 

[karltonian]

It's happening

 

[vortexy]

Well Grier did it we got the second round pick, I like it. Sad to see Blackwood go but this is the right move

 

[Juxtaposer]

I expect more than a 2nd coming our way.

Why?

 

[Sendhelplease]

Is Kovalenko anything of note?

 

[Pavelski2112]

Tank is back on the menu boys

 

[weastern bias]

Anyone know anything about Kovalenko?

 

[CupfortheSharks]

Why?

Blackwood is the best goalie on an expiring contract that is available and several teams are looking for an upgrade in net.

 

[STL Shark]

I expect more than a 2nd coming our way.

Have you ever monitored the rental goalie market before? Getting a 2nd was a massive win for Grier.

 

[TheBeard]

Anyone know anything about Kovalenko?

Meh guy. Decent 5 on 5. Don't expect him to be a part of the future.

 

[Ceremony]

In over twenty years I don't think I've hated an Avalanche player as much as I hated Fourgiev. Good luck lads, you'll need it.

 

[Jargon]

Kovalenko seems like a high motor guy that hasn’t gotten much of a chance yet? No idea, but hey a 2nd! Way to rebuild your value, Blackwood! You were awesome here.

 

[Hodge]

Wow I didn't think we'd get a 2nd even if it's a year out.

Would have been nice to keep Blackwood around to help break Askarov in full time but I'm happy he gets a chance to win.

 

[Juxtaposer]

When was the last time a pending UFA goaltender got anything more than a 2nd? Seriously.

 

[Jargon]

In over twenty years I don't think I've hated an Avalanche player as much as I hated Fourgiev. Good luck lads, you'll need it.

He’s going to be waived/assigned to the Cuda. This is giving Askarov a chance to run off with the starting role.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

I know nothing about Kovalenko beyond the numbers, but it looks like he's been serviceable as a 4th liner. Just don't expect him to score.

 

[STL Shark]

In over twenty years I don't think I've hated an Avalanche player as much as I hated Fourgiev. Good luck lads, you'll need it.

We have Askarov. Don't need your Georgiev good luck.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

This is a fun deal. Kovalenko is interesting and Georgiev might be the worst goalie in Sharks history so the ride will continue.
