Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

This statement is just objectively wrong.

Grundstrom had 40 goals in 236 games for LA, meaning he literally scored at a 14 goal pace for his career, his next worst pace was 10 goals and his pace this season jumped from 2 to 4.

You gotta send your resume into Grier - let's get those goal numbers back up!

Vancouver made out like bandits in the JT Miller trade. On paper the trade helps nobody but the Rangers are trending way down and the lottery protection on that pick could land Vancouver an even better pick in 2026.

And now that pick has been traded back out of the Division. Nice.

Carl Grundstrom never played more than 57 games for LA and I doubt it was because of injury. He's just not very good.

With the rising cap, the Shark's are going to be at a disadvantage. The other contending teams have their stars signed to terrific deals. The inverse of 2020, except that the Sharks are still the loser...

It's much more likely to be an advantage for the Sharks because we can actually spend $113M+ on payroll while poverty franchises will start bleeding players due to their internal budgets being well below that.

Also which contending teams have stars signed to terrific deals? McDavid, Makar, Kaprizov and Eichel are only signed for 2 more seasons max. It's mostly pathetic teams like Buffalo, Montreal and Ottawa who have mediocre talent signed long term.
