Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

I wonder if Tanko for Holtz could happen

 

[one2gamble]

WIth the Sharks starting to get healthy, they need to start trading people

How depressing to have two 10+ game losing streaks so far 60% through the season and yet we are tied for last place… this blows.

What blows is that we are tied for last place and not 10+ points behind Chicago.

We need this run to help reestablish Hoffman, Duclair and Barabanov's trade values. Meanwhile Chicago is busy re-signing all of their free agents. As long as we keep pace with the Blackhawks until the trade deadline we will easily finish last.

 

[sharski]

don't worry about Chicago there is absolutely NO WAY they win the lottery i mean when has something like that ever even happened

 

[Jargon]

Hopefully Bedard gets back soon and helps them out because I do think when Granlund comes back, our offense suddenly looks okay.

The 5 forward PP looked almost good with Couture on it. Should be solid getting Granlund added to it

This potential ascension to mediocrity is troubling.

Don’t worry the dead line sell off is coming, there will be no uprising to mediocrity

 

[Barrie22]

5 game win streak before another 13 game losing streak.

 

[hohosaregood]

If it means that Brodie will shave his head into a mohawk, I'm down for a 4 game win streak.

 

[Jts4thgoal]

With how bad Hoff and Duke look the return on them might be a 7th just to give them away. Barbie might be the Sharks best bet at a decent return and that's if him.and Cooch can work some magic.

Or if someone is desperate enough, one of the goalies might bring a nice return.

Yeah, realistically these returns are not going to be good...especially with only one retention slot available.

If they decide to move Granlund, maybe he can get you a 2nd round pick (if healthy). Sturm and Barabanov maybe a 3rd each? Can't see Duclair getting more than a 4th, so they should just keep him for next year (re-sign to a cheap 1-2 year deal since the locker room seems to like him). Hoffman and Labanc seem like dead weight, and SJ is just going to ride out their contracts. The only potential solid returns would be Ferraro and Kahkonen imo given the goalie market and perception around the league of Ferraro's value.

 

[Jargon]

Yeah, I’m really not counting on a particularly dramatic or exciting trade deadline. The best piece we have is a goalie. I think we’ll pick up some 3rd rounders/underperforming prospects at best.

We ain't getting anything but worse....... in theory

So this is like a dead cat bounce?

 

[Desert Eagle]

I don`t know where to post it, but Igor Larionov is such a great person and coach.
Fans, media, players in KHL - all like him. He definitely can work with young players, he is like father for them. His team is like Cinderella. Torpedo hasn`t money or something but this team plays well and their hockey is very attractive.
I would be happy if Sharks hire him for some position.

EDIT: He is one of the reasons for Silayev’s progress

 

[coooldude]

Mukh's getting the call-up. Will be fun to see him on Saturday vs Sabres.

 

[Skeksis25]

Excited to see Mukh. There are plenty of games left to lose for the tank. Its ok to win a few here and there. If nothing else for the mental health of some of the young guys. You can see how depressed Eklund gets during long losing streaks and how overjoyed he is with a win. Its worth getting a few "meaningless" wins for that. And if Mukh is up here to stay, probably will help him too.

Even if we finish last, a 25% shot at Celebrini is only setting us up for disappointment. In some ways, I'd rather be 2nd or 3rd and basically not expect #1 overall and maybe be surprised. Rather than be highly disappointed we are picking #2 or #3.

The way I get around this is to be excited about the worst possible pick you could get.

For example, I want to finish last so that we have the choice of everyone still available at 3OA. I do not expect Celebrini at all, but I'd rather pick 3 than 4. I want Grier to have his choice of the big D prospects (except for whoever goes 2nd).

idk my gut says its gonna be David Carle from Denver

for the next true HC anyway

 

[Clam Jensen]

us devils fans are rooting hard for Muk, hope he kills it for you guys.

 

[Sombastate]

Not a Sharks fan (love a lot of players, though). Absolutely pumped about Muk! Hope he crushes for you

True. That would have been real nice to have last year.
