Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Grinner]

I was searching for an adjective that didn't seem condescending or hyperbolic and settled on perspicacious.

 

[Patty Ice]

I wanted to bring attention to this interview of this perspicacious young man:

Were he covering a team like the Maple Leafs or the Canadiens, he'd have 50x the attention, no doubt

Yea I watched his videos sometimes. Definitely a better listen than something like Locked on Sharks.

I like him too. I do wish he'd ditch the 'class is now in session', but he has a pretty thoughtful perspective, and it fits the persona he created. Ultimately, it contributes to being more memorable, which likely drives subscriptions (which drives content I benefit from), so I get it. It'll be fun to watch him grow and improve.

Spot on with locked on. Feels like state sponsored media which tells me what to think. All the locked on team podcasts kind of sound the same to me (and I do mean beyond the ad scripts), so maybe that's part of it. Teal Town can be amusing occasionally, but I wouldn't seek it out. The one I don't get is the hockey guy- it's just reading lines and puckpedia information- league wide, but I haven't seen any analysis.

Sheng and Keegan remain in a class of their own .

That is when they actually show up to class haha.

Ferraro the only Shark mentioned, and with another year, is not a high priority move

 

[NiWa]

@Kcoyote3 you guys should consider inviting him some time. He'd be great for end of season analysis.

And @Hobocop could be a fun guest if you do a Barracuda themed one.

Sharks defenseman explains why trading Mario Ferraro would be ‘a huge loss’

NHL: Whether the San Jose Sharks trade Mario Ferraro might be most intriguing question before March 7 deadline

Worst defenseman on the Sharks says trading the 2nd worst defenseman would be a mistake.

A little ironic when Sheng literally is hired by the Sharks broadcasters, and his coverage clearly changed from independent analysis to who do the Sharks want me to praise this week?

I can't wait for the next feature on how Goodrow is actually really good and every scout says so.

I'm sure that'd be a treat for anyone listening.

But Sheng isn't "hired" by the Sharks broadcasters? He's occasionally paid for a feature article by NBC Sports, so those articles may be more favorable as a handshake agreement with Sharks org, but Sheng is absolutely independent and I am really surprised at this new strand of anti-Sheng convo. Have seen multiple people denegrate him as some milquetoast mouthpiece when he's often highly critical of the team.

Brodie is the mouthpiece, being a direct employee of the org.

The negativity just really seems over the top.

But that's what actually happens! The experts, coaches, and scouts think highly of Goodrow, and Sheng thinks "how can they all be wrong?"
