Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Alaskanice]

Speaking of free agents - What is Anthony Duclair going to get? He openly spoke about liking his time and being willing to come back. Not a bad scoring option for one of the kids to play with if they have a F1 on the other wing.

I’m hoping. I don’t normally think that players come back after being traded but I honestly think he really liked it here, playing for Grier. He said so.

Surprise surprise, Draymond Green can't keep his mouth shut.

Let’s hope Dray is right!!

 

[Jargon]

There was a Reddit thread where someone who goes to school with Celebrini said there’s generally the feeling that he’s not coming back. And then Sheng being quite sure of it… all signs point to he’s coming.

As for Duclair, I really enjoyed his leadership here and wouldn’t hate to see him back. He’d be fun with Celebrini.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Doesn't seem like there's much space for Duclair on the forward corps. Competition is good, but at this point the forward group has plenty of low and mid-range talents.

I really think the Sharks should offer sheet Cole Perfetti to the max where the payment is a 2nd. Force Winnipeg's hand, especially since they need to restock their D.

Winnipeg would match 4.5M easily I'd imagine

Snipe city 420. RELIABLE

Larry Beil is legit though. He’s been working in the Bay Area for a long time.

Oh I agree it was just funny. I think everyone knows Macklin is signing. I think it will be a much bigger surprise if he doesn’t sign despite what a lot of doomsday predictors say.

I think we can easily get two more top 6 forwards:

Eklund - Granlund - Zetterlund
??? - Celebrini - ???
Kostin - Smith / Dellandrea - Smith / Dellandrea

I’d gladly sign Duclair and one other guy.

Marek suggests that Giordano might be an interesting addition for the Sharks.

I mean, at this point, why not?

 

[Alaskanice]

I mean, at this point, why not?

I’ve always been impressed with him but also felt that he’s a Canadian boy through and through. I never saw him coming to San Jose.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I have no idea if Giordano is any good still but I always liked him and he seems like a guy you’d like to have around your kids.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I mean, at this point, why not?

Because we already have a lot of garbage to sift through on the blue line.

 

[timorous me]

I have no idea if Giordano is any good still but I always liked him and he seems like a guy you’d like to have around your kids.

I've always liked him, too (sometimes those "After Hours" interviews on HNIC are really great to get to know guys), but I honestly don't know why he'd come to the Sharks. I imagine his choices at this point are, in order: 1) playoff team, 2) retirement, 3) no playoff chance team.

Unfortunately we know where the Sharks fall in that ranking this year.

I don't think so. They under utilized him all year and clearly dont value him at 4.5. They also need to sign/graduate 1 legit top 4 D, 3 depth D, and a backup in addition to whatever 4.5M in forward money gets you.....all for under 14M in cap space.

I think it's an easy offer sheet target.

 

[Bizz]

Giordano is coming off a major injury at 40. He's pretty much cooked.

 

[RussianShark]

NHL all-time leader in blocked shots. I'd give him a training camp invite at least.

Let him retire and Vlasic can break the record instead (he's only 20 behind).

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Geo is absolutely cooked, the only thing he can really provide is veteran leadership on the bottom pairing. If the sharks are cool with that sign him, but do not expect Calgary Geo, you're getting old man Leafs Geo.

On D the Sharks have too many 3rd pairing veteran options. They need legit top 4 D which they had zero options last season.

100%, Geo is only a solid tank option/Vet.
