Musty was part of the Meier deal. Karlsson deal the Sharks got the 14th overall pick (Pitsburghs) and traded up to 11 and got Dickinson
I don't think Mike Grier is going to have a job next year.

Where did this come from OP?
Grier took over a rebuild. It’s only been 3 years.
Sure, now we’re starting to look at the results a little bit more, but the Sharks haven’t been expected to win games to this point and frankly likely won’t make the playoffs next year either.

It was going to be a long rebuild. Grier doing what he is supposed to do. But, the HC are going to be the sacrificial lambs in this process. Is War likely to be the HC who leads them to the PO or will be have endured too much losing to keep his job as it does seem like they will have another low finish next season or two as they aim to infuse some of their D prospects which requires patience.

Only trade I don’t like is the Zetterlund one, everything else seems great so far. Need defense though

He’s in a deep rebuild. Add to that he was able to unload Erik Karlsson, with only 1.5 in retention, while getting the Pens first in return and he’s going a masterful job. Imo he’s got 2 more years of rebuild left before calls for his head come in. Five years should be enough time.

People also should understand that he didn't take over the team when it was at the bottom, with a blank slate and had to start climbing back up. He took over a team that was falling over a cliff halfway through that fall. He had to first make sure the landing wasn't an explosion and stabilize and clear the slate. Which is all he has done so far and all that could have been reasonably expected. Now, he has to start the climb back up and should be judged for how that goes.
The people who somehow expected him to join a franchise in a freefall and instantly slam the brakes and start turning it around are the people I expect to call him "Mike Gear" or something.

They guy had 5 pts for Sens and hasnt done a thing in playoffs.
Hardly an upgrade over Noah friggin Gregor who was a throw in in the deal.
Says a lot if thats the worst Grier did.
The man turned Walman and Ceci into very positive returns after getting them for practically nothing.
Dickinson era is just around the corner so defense wouldnt be too much of a worry when they are ready to make some noise.

Oh no! We suck again!!
The Sharks are about to have a franchise player at every position if they win the lottery and take Schaefer. This is literally the best rebuild in recent memory

Grier didn't even take over a rebuild, he took over a team hopelessly in denial about its utterly dire state, that had to resort to a fig leaf of resignation to fire its flailing and now-incapable general manager (and put a hopelessly incompetent placeholder in charge), and had a stable of nothing except Eklund and a bunch of horrific contracts and nothing prospects.
