Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

[Barrie22]

Walman has 5 points and is a -7 in 16 games since returning from injury. He’s not our clear #1.

And in that same time period which of the other 6 have even close to those stats?

Liljren has 2 and -10
Ferraro has 4 and -4
Thrun has 2 and -10
Shak has 2 and +2
Vlasic has 2 and -4 (8 games)
Thompson has 2 and -3

 

[Hodge]

Ferraro is our #1. There's no question who has more value on the trade market between him and Walman.

Thats not how that works but ok.

 

[weastern bias]

My take is I like everyone

 

[Hodge]

Ferraro also plays more than Walman at even strength.

 

[Jargon]

Discussing who is more our #1 Walman or Ferraro might be the saddest debate in history.

 

[Barrie22]

Ferraro also plays more than Walman at even strength.

By a whopping 30 seconds. And walman plays more at power play and pk. And also a full 2-3 minutes per game.

 

[STL Shark]

We are probably going back to once a week instead of once every other week soon. Little tough with Sheng being on the road and my schedule but we recognize that people like the weekly better

Appreciate that. Really been my only complaint is just never having a good feel for cadence and when to expect you all to release something.

Would still love another long form in addition to you all to add to my rotation of pods. Maybe when the team is better and games matter, I'll look for something that is a short recap/hits of the previous game, but I enjoy consuming everything as a macro level discussion on the Sharks right now (which you and Sheng do great at).

 

[TheBeard]

He sadly is at this moment.

He’s not. He’s playing on the top unit because he’s basically the only d-man was some offensive ability, but he’s been a waiver-wire at best player since returning from injury.

Considering Walman is basically the only D man that sees PP time, it’s even worse than I thought.

He is still the number 1 on the sharks, its just that he is the best of garbage and trash. Nobody here thinks walman is a number 1 defensemen on any other team other then a handful of bottom feeders, but he is literally 1 of only 2 right now that might have an nhl job once there time with the sharks ends.

This is very different than saying he's our Clear #1 d-man.

If it wasn't for his hot start he may be being healthy scratched on occasion.

He is the clear number 1 on this team though. Key words are though, on this team.

[Star Platinum]

Yeah, they say that now, but come next Friday, they're gonna have to take the best deal they can get on some of these guys.

 

[Hodge]

Gavrikov just switched to Celebrini/Toffoli's agent. Left shot but has mostly played on the right side this year.

"That sandwich better come with fries"

Again, I don't think he is, but it's splitting hairs.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Gavrikov just switched to Celebrini/Toffoli's agent. Left shot but has mostly played on the right side this year.

He'd probably be the ideal guy to get in UFA. But because of the cap going up, bet he'll have his pick of teams to choose from.

Yeah it’s a general golden rule for YouTubers and podcasts to have like a day you release stuff on.

I work different days of the week/times every month plus Sheng does pretty much the same. We don’t really have the ability to say “we release on this day every week” so we just have to schedule dates every time which we can meet and discuss. Also why we end up talking for hours lol.

Actually is somewhat remarkable that the podcast is growing despite that. Celebrini and a renewed Sharks interest certainly helps
