Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Alaskanice]

If the sharks claim Trouba that would be obvious collusion between Grier and NYR and I hope grounds for a serious investigation

You hope for this?

 

[themelkman]

You hope for this?

Absolutely not, what I hope for is that the sharks gm can make smart moves this summer that improve the team and our future. I want to be proven wrong for not liking his moves.

 

[Patty Ice]

Boqvist bought out. Another Grier reclamation project?

 

[Bizz]

Nate Schmidt would be a smart pickup too.

 

[jarr92]

Bailey re-signed to 1 year deal.

 

[one2gamble]

Meh

 

[anthonyyy]

I don't know how Grier wouldn't go for it. Former top 10 pick, only 23, much better than Addison (although that's a low bar).

 

[Saskatoon]

I really don't think Musty is ready for the NHL and doubt he makes the team..but who knows maybe I'm wrong. With Smith you had Grier saying he is ready for the NHL. Nobody in the org is saying that about Musty

Sudbury just needs to trade him to London so we can rename them to the Junior Sharks

Why would it be collusion? This could of changed in the last CBA, but it used to be that if a team won a claim for a waived player then that team goes to the back of the line for the next waivered player. So since we won the Goodrow one, it would need 30 other teams to say no to the claim for the Sharks to have a chance.

Musty is going to get an extended look because he needs to be smacked around a bit so he knows what to work on

 

[TheBeard]

I'd give Musty a full-time look and let him earn his bumps. What would be the point of sending him back to Sudbury? The team has a bounty of young prospects that'll need looks down the road, so may as well see what Musty can do at the NHL level. If he completely looks overmatched to the point where it kills him then make the call then.

Yeah but, you just said you hope there’s an investigation. MG would be doing something that is clearly helping us be a better team. You’d hope there would be a full investigation..what?! Lol

 

[ChompChomp]

Nate Schmidt would be a smart pickup too.

He just has one year left at $6M cap hit, correct? Seems like he's a waiver claim possibility. Don't even let him go UFA. I mean, the Sharks can literally get him automatically.

 

[spintops]

Bailey re-signed to 1 year deal.

Hopefully AHL depth. If Macklin signs you have :
Granlund, Zetterlund, Eklund, Smith, Macklin, Couture (?) as your top 6 forwards (not necessarily playing in the top 6 or at that level yet, but still want to see a young guy like Smith playing with talent) . .
I guess the third line players would be Strum, Dellandrea, Kostin
4th line: Goodrow, Grundstrom, Kunin

Then all the kids- Igor, bords, etc.

Roster is all looking pretty full at forward. Sorta surprised we have made so many depth moves when we probably need to start aiming for quality

Pretty sure that is still the case which makes claiming Goodrow more annoying.

IN FACT, Grier should call the Jets now and tell them if they trade him McG on the cheap, he'll claim Schmidt to save them a buy out. Then we get McG cheap and Schmidt instantly improves our D. Win/win. Jets don't even need to know that we'd claim Schmidt anyways.

This is a shrewd idea. If there’s still time, do it!!

Mike Grier's offseason: 2 trades, 28 waiver claims.

 

[Bizz]

Jets were looking for an NHL ready top 4 Defenseman (Ferraro) and Center (Sturm?) for McGroarty. Probably throw in an excess prospect as a sweetener (Coe? Graf?)

 

[Friday]

Obsession with shitty depth forwards should end soon I hope haha. MG wants all of them

 

[TheBeard]

I'd take a look at Brannstrom in Ottawa since he's not being qualified. We can't just let Ruuta run with the 2RD

Some NHL talent being waived. Why not?

Jokes on you. Soon it'll be our shitty depth prospects that he'll obsess over. The era of Svoboda comes for us all.

I can’t say enough of how good it is to have Jumbo around the team. Dude is a culture setter even if he isn’t necessarily in the locker room all the time. He’ll be such an awesome influence to have around this young group.

Its not helping us be a better team, hes not good and theres a reason he cant be traded.

I would be fine if we get a first round pick to take him, but for free it would mean helping the guy who got him this job, or horrible player evaluation skills.
