Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Jargon]

Georgiev and Vanecek don’t look good at all and really haven’t all season. At this point I’d be fine waiving both of them and seeing if we can pick up Reimer from Buffalo.

Vanacek was fine, I thought. Georgiev is… bad.

Vanacek was fine, I thought. Georgiev is… bad.

Vanacek was just worse than blackwood but hes better than Georgiev

 

[Gecklund]

Vanacek was just worse than blackwood but hes better than Georgiev

I mean that is a WIDE gap there.

 

[one2gamble]

I mean that is a WIDE gap there.

I mean ya, my roller goalie is probably in there somewhere

 

[Gecklund]

I mean ya, my roller goalie is probably in there somewhere

One of those shot trainer boards is in that gap too. Definitely Dennis the walrus from those commercials.

even one of those D gets would be great. 2 would be a miracle. but Grier can cook...

Bystedt +Thompson + 2025 DAL 1st round pick + 2026 SJS 2nd round pick to NJD for Simon Nemec + 2025 5th round pick

NGL... this feels like way too much for a guy who's struggling to find a place on the NHL squad, inexperienced or not. The fact he was a 2nd overall is a sunk cost and shouldn't factor in and this trade is close to the equivalent of three firsts (albeit late).

The Copp and Millers ones, however, I would be thrilled with, although I do believe waiting to trade Ferraro next TDL would fetch a first.

I like everything except the Nemec trade. I know none of the individual assets are all that valuable but it still feels like too much to give up for a guy who could still easily be a "not even playable in sheltered third pair minutes" level bust.

If this all happened, it would be wild. I just want to say that--and I'm sure others will disagree--but I'm thinking there's a case to be made that Misa spends his D+1 year in the NHL.

I think it's probably better if the rumored "Misa to BU" deal is true. Smith is having his wobbly year in D+2. Misa isn't a Fantilli-style fully grown man nor a crazy outlier like Celly.

If he were to be drafted to SJ I would have no problem with it. Let Mack and Will develop as 1 and 2C.

 

[OversKy]

Tavares yes, Matthews less so, and Nylander the least.

I agree, but I doubt Tavares wants to come to SJ. He should want to chase a cup somewhere...

Glassthews is probably the worst out of any of them. Nylander and Marner actually work out there from time to time in the playoffs.

Theres alot of smoke (and where theres smoke theres fire) that Misa will be NCAA bound next year. He is the likeliest of the top 4, maybe even first round junior guys to make that move.

Would not hurt in the least for him to go to school for a year.

 

[Beethovens 10th]

Would not hurt in the least for him to go to school for a year.

He could learn how to read, and figure out the team and player names, which could help.

Unlike most of the rest of the league, where players frantically squint to recognize color patterns and the graphics which are like primitive hieroglyphs to clue them in to which animal is their animal. This is why 3rd uni’s tend to just f*** with players worlds. What color dis? That not my animal! Goodrow CONFUZ!

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Trade Cam Lund for anyone, or in a package for a top 4 defenseman (those are hard to come by). maybe not a top 4, but Jeremy Lauzon is nasty, Id take him for Cam Lund.
