[Juxtaposer]

It would be neat if we had Seamus Casey instead of Matias Havelid.

 

[DG93]

That NJ team is gonna be very good now that they upgraded in net and have a better defense (especially once Pesce is back) + hired a real coach. Some combination of Pesce, Hamilton, Dillon, Siegenthaler, Luke Hughes, and Nemec with Casey and later Silayev in the wings is pretty nasty.

They got so lucky in their rebuild. After Hischier and Hughes they got lucky with Nemec and Luke. Also having a bad year because of injuries dropped them in a year with a deep top 10 and picked a guy some thought was #3 overall and a perfect complement to Nemec and Luke.

NJ has a stupid amount of young talent no doubt, but keep in mind that they picked 6th in 2015, 12th in 2016, 1st in 2017, 1st in 2019, 6th in 2020, 4th in 2021, 2nd in 2022, and 10th in 2024. They've made the playoffs twice and won just a single playoff round since 2012. They had better have a stupid amount of young talent to show for it.

Are they gonna sign the Bancer? He will lead them to the promised land.

Czechia? I beg to differ.

 

[spintops]

And there it is

 

[karltonian]

ah the cap floor move

 

[weastern bias]

+ hired a real coach

Sheldon Keefe is awful and puts a hard ceiling on what should be a promising roster

 

[LadyStanley]

ah the cap floor move

Still need another contract at least that much get to floor.

 

[bluefunnel]

I know we're treating Utah like an expansion team but they're talking about Phoenix like they were involved in some type of scandal and their record should never be mentioned again.

I’ve been rolling my eyes the whole broadcast.

 

[TheBeard]

We’re better than Chicago, aren’t we?

 

[Hodge]

We’re better than Chicago, aren’t we?

Their 2nd power play unit has Patrick Maroon, Craig Smith, Ryan Donato and Alec Martinez on it. So yes.

 

[Alaskanice]

Danil Guschin is. No question.

It’s wild how little talent they have outside of CB and Lev.

 

[Hodge]

Korchinski and Nazar are well on their way to bustville if they can’t make this team.

I don't really see the Oliver Moore hype either tbh...very mediocre propsect pool behind Bedard and Levshunov imo. McQueen will be a nice get for them as a big 2C behind Bedard, and they'll sadly get McKenna giftwrapped to them as well...

 

[weastern bias]

We’re better than Chicago, aren’t we?

I think our defense will prevent us from outperforming them this year, they have much more competent puck movers than we do and say what you will about Seth Jones but he's a million times better than any D we'll ice this year

 

[Shark Finn]

Oh yeah, the time of wishing for HAWKS WIN!!s has once again begun.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Same. Utah did not exist last year. Also as someone who just watched the last A's game at the culosium (on TV) it just seems so disrespectful to the fans the team left from.

Since the Sharks are not on this network this season, it belongs in this thread.

Went to the Utah game last night. Atmosphere was incredible, reminded me of a Sharks playoff game
