Confirmed with Link: Granlund + Ceci to Dallas for 2025 1st and 2025 conditional 4th (WPG)

Oh we will be awful next year too.

It depends on what Grier can do about the defense in the offseason

Poor CC and Granny got bag skated then traded.

Assuming that McKenna is available in 2026 and DuPoint in 2027...look, I'll take them, but you kind of hope that the Sharks are no longer in the basement next season. It'd be year 3 of the rebuild (generously); have to start showing signs of life.

I'm hoping for improvement and then a lottery win haha

Sounds like Grier is planning on keeping the picks. My order of preference would be:
1. Trade them for young dman (BYRAM ANYONE?!?)
2. Use them to move up to 16-18 range
3. Keep them

But I mean we definitely can get some secondary pieces in the 25-35 range I just am kind of sick of secondary pieces.

Bryam and Power are unfortunately both lefties, sharks need a righty

Need someone better than Walman/Ferraro on the left side too. Thompson gonna get a nice long look on the right side the rest of the way.

Other than Vlasic and Thrun, I expect all those guys to be on other teams by next March

And by "expect" you mean "hope"?

It's going to be really interesting at the draft to see how high of a pick Grier could extract if he offers up the Dallas first and our own second--and if, at this point, that might be worth it considering the good depth in our system. Sort of a Dickinson 2.0 situation.

And it's funny, in terms of which prospects to pay attention to, how you never know; I was convinced last year that even if Grier traded up (like he did) that there was no way someone like Dickinson would fall out of the top 10, so who knows who might drop this year into the teens if we're able to get a pick in that range.

That’s not going to be enough to move into the top 12, so at that point you’re better off with more kicks at the can at say 26 and 34 than just getting one shot at whoever we select at Pick 17.

Great trade by Grier, who keeps on cooking. Appreciate Ceci and Granlund being great vets/mentors, and good luck in Dallas. I don't think the Sharks make a lot of other trades since those were their two big pieces. TDL is already a success.

 

[Star Platinum]

And by "expect" you mean "hope"?

No, expect. They're all expiring deals, they all have some level of value playing lower on other teams, and none of them are part of this team's long-term future.

 

[Star Platinum]

Same. I’m not even sure Thrun is back next year even though he’s signed. It wouldn’t be a bad idea, we can all agree, to bring in more than just one year projects at this point.

He's under contract, so I expect him to be back cause he's not going to be part of a trade. However, I think next year is his last year with the Sharks.
