Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[STL Shark]

the fact he wasn’t waived or bought out the moment he was traded made him Grier’s project.

It's almost like there isn't a midseason buyout window and they don't want him to go down and be a bad apple on the Cuda. And even if he had gone down, he'd have been up a week later when Vanecek got hurt.

 

[weastern bias]

What, not Georgiev?

Call me an elder millennial, but I will always prefer this OG meme genre to genAI slop.

Stop. Do not.

Saad clears waivers and Seattle actually did it and put Grubauer on waivers…yikes!

Colorado goalies don't seem to thrive away from them.

 

[TheBeard]

Why the hell would he do that when Georgiev is far and away the #1 reason we're going to have the best draft lottery odds again?

Sharks Hockey:

Game 1 "I'm excited to see how the team improves!"
Game 2 "If we lose these specific 61 games we should be able to stay ahead of 31st place.
Game 5: "I've been doing a ton of research on the 2028 draft pool"

 

[TheBeard]

In about two months we're gonna be thrilled he's only 4giev.

I got a fun one:

Georgiev

For

Grubs
2026 2nd
Dragicevic

Askarov gets most of the starts over Grubs next year and we still get to lose a ton when Grubs starts. Contract falls off when big names need to be signed or you just buy him out after next season. Not like we are using the dollars right now. We get a good 2nd and a right handed offense-first defense prospect.

Easy. Plus he’s German. Hasso will be thrilled.

Georgiev is just so Seattle gets a goalie back.

Grub as two more years after this. I'm not taking him for anything less than Catton

Could this be it?

Seattle will just buy him out at that rate as opposed to give up assets they need in order to move him.

Could this be it?

Hischier announced as out for a month or so. Doubtful this is it this early, but you never know.

 

[TheBeard]

Depending on the severity of the Miro injury, Dallas is in real need of D.

 

[spintops]

Could this be it?

Nope, just sick

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Now you would go after Saad but he's probably going to a contender or Chicago.

My bet is back to Colorado to help that group out on a league minimum deal. Sort of like Parise last year.

 

[Anomie2029]

Going to be a world of hurt when Vanecek is healthy and Askarov gets sent down:

That doesn't sound very fun at all

I am honestly shocked if this is true but reports that Brandt Clarke RHD 6'2 is on the trade block? I personally would be very interested and with the recent quote from Grier on "keeping an eye out on any situations like (Askarov)" this could fit the bill but I am guessing the Kings are looking for some win now pieces. I wouldn't mind giving up something like Granlund or maybe Zetterlund + Ferraro as the Kings could use an upgrade at LD on their third pairing. Anyone else interested in Clarke and what do you think a deal looks like?

Sure, but why would LA do that? The ask would be a lot higher if there was even any truth to that.

Yeah it honestly doesn't make sense and probably isn't true. Especially considering Gavrikov is a UFA after this year, all I can think of is they want to go all in and win now and think they can actually do it with Kopitar/Doughty (who aren't getting any younger).

Not to mention they're not exactly bursting with D prospects.

 

[Hodge]

Clarke = Adam Boqvist 2.0. Never trust an offenseman.

 

[Cas]

Yeah it honestly doesn't make sense and probably isn't true.

This is by far the most likely explanation, but it is also possible that they are idiots.
