Speculation: First big trade?

Zegras might be moved, but not Stutzle.

Won't report it but your flaming now. I guess everyone ends up being defensive in the end but you probably think it's only others that should get that treatment. You are not that type right?

Give it up. No "explanation" will make you look good between trying to justify Celebrini as a better fit than Bedard. Regardless of size or skill or style or whatever you can come up with. Bedard is better in all ways.



You know why. If you don't, do you need an "explanation"?

Incorrect in all ways.

Tom WIlson to the NYR.

Incorrect in all ways.

Even as a Sharks fan it’s hard to say one way or the other. Celebrini has played one game. And was injured for that game. Celebrini looked fantastic don’t get me wrong but still has to prove he is better than Bedard.

I mean even beyond the "better in all ways" comment, his post is wrong in so many ways. I totally accept that many would value Bedard more highly. It's not outlandish to suggest Celebrini is better in some aspects of the game, nor to suggest he's a better fit for the Sharks long term. If we didn't already have Smith and Eklund, maybe we'd be having a different discussion.

Yeah I mean I totally agree with you don’t get me wrong. I think Celebrini will be the much better two way player with Bedard being the better offensive player. I’d also prefer to keep the guy whose family lives in the Bay Area that played for the junior Sharks and that seems very happy here already. There’s definitely external factors than just the on ice play.

Thing is though, this is HF boards. Everything is in a vacuum and dominated by big teams and/or East coast bias. Sharks are on too late and are too irrelevant right now for anyone to stay up and watch their games. You and I know Celebrini looked stellar in his first game and that he has looked great in preseason and rookie faceoff or whatever other offseason games he played in with so many different names that are all super similar.

Yep agreed. I'm happy to just sit back and watch how this plays out. We have a spectacular player on our hands - a future "do it all" #1C and we have zero reason to trade him.

They just need to make progress, they don't need to make the playoffs, but if they don't it doesn't automatically mean they won't make it for the next 3 years. Staios hasn't even been GM for a full year, he deserves more than 10 seconds to re-shape the roster into a winner and anyone with a brain knows this, Brady first and foremost

Agree 100%, Staios does deserve an opportunity to run this team and put together the squad he wants. However, losing gets old very quickly…and Brady has had his fair share of that. I don’t blame the guy if he asks to be traded. Everyone has their opinion on this subject and naturally most Sens fans won’t agree w me. I’d like to see him take that team to the playoffs, eventually the Cup…but I just don’t see it happening before his contract is up. Not for nothing, trading Brady would bring in a haul…it might be worth it in the long run.

A big three way trade between the Sens, Red Wings and Sabres, swapping players in a desperate bid to make the playoffs, with the Canadiens retaining salary where needed to bolster their pick count.

I can see all 4 teams losing in the deal

Will Vancouver move Pettersson? I mean they will have to do it if they aren't gonna fire Tocchett.
