Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Jargon]

Georgiev and Vanecek don’t look good at all and really haven’t all season. At this point I’d be fine waiving both of them and seeing if we can pick up Reimer from Buffalo.

Vanacek was fine, I thought. Georgiev is… bad.

Vanacek was fine, I thought. Georgiev is… bad.

Vanacek was just worse than blackwood but hes better than Georgiev

 

[Gecklund]

Vanacek was just worse than blackwood but hes better than Georgiev

I mean that is a WIDE gap there.

 

[one2gamble]

I mean that is a WIDE gap there.

I mean ya, my roller goalie is probably in there somewhere

 

[Gecklund]

One of those shot trainer boards is in that gap too. Definitely Dennis the walrus from those commercials.

even one of those D gets would be great. 2 would be a miracle. but Grier can cook...

Bystedt +Thompson + 2025 DAL 1st round pick + 2026 SJS 2nd round pick to NJD for Simon Nemec + 2025 5th round pick

NGL... this feels like way too much for a guy who's struggling to find a place on the NHL squad, inexperienced or not. The fact he was a 2nd overall is a sunk cost and shouldn't factor in and this trade is close to the equivalent of three firsts (albeit late).

The Copp and Millers ones, however, I would be thrilled with, although I do believe waiting to trade Ferraro next TDL would fetch a first.

I like everything except the Nemec trade. I know none of the individual assets are all that valuable but it still feels like too much to give up for a guy who could still easily be a "not even playable in sheltered third pair minutes" level bust.
