2025 NHL Draft: Lose a ton for Porter Martone

[coooldude]

Last I checked, we were top or near the top of league at scoring with the goalie pulled. For everyone referring to what our record might be if we won more in OT/SO, you should do the same exercise for if the puck luck went the other way.

We are still a bottom 5 team and probably a bottom 3 team. However if Celebrini and Russian Granny Smith line keep playing as well as they are, we may not be the worst team.

What we have going for us is that even if Anaheim is worse than us, Dostal is excellent and should win them a bunch of games they don't deserve to be in.

I don't think anyone but Chicago ends up worse than us because of that.

We just gotta lose enough to get top four and I'm happy. I want Schaefer the most for positional need, but honestly I feel any of him and Hagens/Martone/Misa could end up having the best career. Although I think Schaefer and Hagens feel the most likely of the batch I would be over the moon with Martone or Misa.

After this draft, we probably need to get the hell out of the basement before any stench of losing culture starts to stick to the kids.

I’d take that bet. We had a horrific start, but really not bad of late. Why does everyone seem to think the sharks are such bottom feeders? 9-6-3, and pretty much every game very close. Does that really seem like a bottom feeder? I get that the level of competition is not the highest but it’s not like they are getting pure luck and the kids are improving.

Chicago really does have 2024-2025 Sharks vibes, especially with Nazar and Korchinski moving backwards yikes

Holy moly, I just paid closer attention when looking at the December schedule. I don't think anyone should be worried about us being close to a wildcard on 1/1.

That's what we all think, but it's gonna go something like this:

Washington: Win
Tampa: Win
Florida: Loss
Carolina: Loss
St. Louis: Win
Utah: Win
Winnipeg: Loss
Colorado: Win
Edmonton: Loss
Vancouver: Win
Vegas: Loss
Calgary: Win
Philadelphia: Win
