Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Barrie22]

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

 

[Star Platinum]

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.

"Just raise your hand up one time. Show her that you 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

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.

Daydreaming about drafting Martone and him challenging for that 3RW spot next season, while being a future 1RW. But also Schaefer locking down the LD depth for years and years... also helping Sharks really focus on getting solid RD partners for them and not to necessary need to look for the next gamebreaking RD necessary.
Tampa Bay Lightning championship team situation with having all the gamechanging defence in LD (Hedman, Sergachev, McDonagh) or a non-playoff example in Buffalo (Dahlin, Power, Byram)

I've always been a big fan of having that 1RD being the main player in defence (because of the great Brent Burns) but I'm ready for something fresh if it means we have a chance of great success in the next 10 years.

Personally don’t think smith will be our solution at 2C. Fantilli or Carlsson would have been.

I blame Grier for not finishing higher in the lottery

Grier is close to Gregor so checks out…
