Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Barrie22]

It's time, it's time, it's Askarov time.

I'm a little afraid of Askarov destroying the tanking after we'll move Blacky

I just want to win a shootout to prove that we can do it.

If Askarov starts ruining the tank, we can always schedule buddy development days with Will Smith to punish him.

I'm alright with us continuing to lose the shootout when it's Celebrini and Smith getting the attempts. When they start burying them is when we'll start winning them and them getting the experience either way is the correct decision.

When it comes to Askarov, I'd give him every opportunity reasonable for however long they expect Vanecek to be injured. He could win them all on his own and it still wouldn't really jeopardize the tank. He should be sent back down after Vanecek gets healthy and called back up when another injury occurs which is inevitable.

Blackwood has been very good this season and we're still at the bottom of the barrel. If Askarov is so much better than him that we're at risk of not drafting top-5, then that's the opposite of a problem.

Only real chance of that is if askarov comes in and pulls his 1st 2 ahl starts this season for the rest of the nhl season.

Sharks don't play either team until mid-January, FWIW.

Is uh Jiricek playing

He did and played a whole 10 shifts at 8:14 of time. They rode the top four of Werenski, Severson, Provorov, and Fabbro hard.

Sharks are doing too well. GMMG has to make a trade to mess the team up and get the tank rolling again. I think Granlund has to go soon, or Ceci. Don't wait until the deadline. Gotta get the tank rolling as Macklin is ruining it.

We got Macklin, I’m frankly done with the tank mentality. Let them win, let them get used to winning and competing and fighting every shift. We got the prize we needed and we’ll get a good player no matter what — if we’re not picking top 5 that means our young guys have really come on and the team is further ahead than we thought. That’s a good thing!

I 100% agree.

I would say that if we didn't have Will Smith as the 2C projection, I would be a little more on the tank side but I feel like when we have our 1-2C projected, it's time to start getting better as much as you can.
It's great feeling that they can go with the flow, either they get a good prospect next year or start getting better, very good problem to have.
