Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

Yeah, it gets into definition. To me, a generational talent is one that defines their generation... which you could summarize as decade, ish.

80's -- Gretzky
90's -- Lemieux, Jagr (and some think no on Jagr).
00's -- Crosby, Ovie
10's -- McDavid
20's -- we don't know yet

You could separate out F, D, G, but ultimately I define generational as this. You get one name per decade, maybe two. And others define it differently and around and around we go

Based on hype the 20’s player is supposed to be Bedard but I never understood the hype and always saw an elite goal scoring winger that gets beat in all other areas of the game.

 

[weastern bias]

I still say the stylistic comp for Celebrini is Crosby

He'll probably never come close to his highest levels of top end production but he's the same rare kind of "heart of a grinder, skill of a superstar" do-it-all centerman, I could see him being a consistent 90 point 1C who garners Selke votes

In the end I think his on ice impact will fall somewhere between prime Sidney Crosby and peak Ryan O'Reilly, which is an insane floor, O'Reilly was criminally underrated during his best years because he was wasting away in Buffalo, I'll take that guy as my 1C any day

 

[PattyLafontaine]

I'm thinking more Patrick Marleau which should get people in San Jose excited

Celebrini is much more talented than Patrick

Man, this whole time, I thought it was @The Nemesis who said that when in fact it was Abe

We can at least all agree that pickles, particularly dancing ones, are generational snacks,

So, Barkov

Stylistically, I think Bergeron is a better comparable due to their similar size, and the way they attack on the rush. Barkov tends to bully his way around a bit more than I think will be possible for Celebrini. I'm also projecting that he'll be able to eclipse 100 points during some of his prime years, which Barkov has not been able to do.

 

[Shark Finn]

why do we care about anything

Exactly, this is the Sharks board after all.

At least around here!

Askarov likely to start tomorrow ?

Yes.

Now, tell me how you feel about Kevin Labanc.

Yes.

Now, tell me how you feel about Kevin Labanc.

Better than expected
