Discussing who is more our #1 Walman or Ferraro might be the saddest debate in history.
By a whopping 30 seconds. And walman plays more at power play and pk. And also a full 2-3 minutes per game.

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).
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.

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.
"That sandwich better come with fries"
Again, I don't think he is, but it's splitting hairs.

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 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

One piece of constructive feedback I'd like to offer is to try and tighten up the podcast. Sheng does 75% of the talking in the podcast already and too often, he is restating a point that he's already made. It makes the podcasts longer than they need to be. A little bit of pre-podcast planning of topics that you guys want to cover plus some bullet points of points you want to make could help in tightening it up.
Also, I think a conversational podcast is more interesting to listen to rather than one person doing most of the talking, so I wish he'd give you more space to respond to points he's made and allow for more give and take.

Yep absolutely. Gavrikov is a fantastic fit for this team because he can play both sides (and might even be better on the right right now) but we are not a fantastic fit for Gavrikov at all.
Also about Kunin, how is that news? “Sharks are holding on to Kunin until they get what they want for him” like no shit? Sharks are also holding on to Celebrini unless someone offers what they want for him (which would be at least 8 of the purest souls you could find and then every single future that the franchise has ever). Friedman has been getting increasingly annoying with his fence sitting. Kyle whatever his last name is is a terrible cohost for the podcast. Marek had his faults for sure but he at least tried to get Friedman to take a stance. Kyle is the definition of NPC energy.

It is news. Because typically a bad team sells their UFAs for whatever they can get. Silly to compare that to Celebrini.

How is it news that Grier has an asking price and is sticking to it at this moment?

I agree with whoever said we need to pick up 2-3 legit top 4 defensmen this offeason (hard to keep track when the thread blows up). We can’t go the way of Chicago…
To me, that remains true even if we are lucky enough to grab Schaefer in the draft (
), since I imagine it’s unlikely he makes the jump next year.
I think we should be able to sign one for free (Kovacevic, Gavrikov, Ekblad, etc), outbid better teams if you have to but we have the cap space to do it.
But that still leaves us with just 2 top 4 guys. Here’s one crazy idea to get us closer to 4: Dickinson + Bystedt + Dal 1st for Dobson
Do you think NYI would go for that? Would you?
I didn’t like the idea when people were throwing around Dickinson‘s name and Dobson first hit the market, but with Schaefer on the way, that would change things for me. Also, I think Lou would be able to sell the idea of three first for Dobson to the fan base pretty well and Dickinson seems like the kind of guy Lou would love.
If you were able to swing something like that, that gives you 3 top 4 D going into next year and maybe even 4 if Schaeffer surprises or Ferraro looks like his old self around a big, offensively oriented D partner again. That could really change things for us.
I know we preach patience a lot on here, but seeing the images of sad Bedard and hearing Jones‘s comments really has me thinking. There is such a thing as being too patient…

I can appreciate trying to hold out for a 2nd but I agree, take the best deal on the table once the deadline comes. There's no reason to keep Kunin if anyone is offering any draft pick for him.
