There has to be enough opportunity in the return form it to make sense even if that opportunity does not work out.

Take care of him. You’ll like him

If it hasn’t been mentioned already he’s an absolute tank

OH this is why Grier did this.

If the first and zetterland are the main pieces in the return my opinion of Grier is going to take a nose dive

 

[Bizz]

The constant negativity around here is kinda sad, not gonna lie

Mike Grier has f***ed up every single transaction he's been in charge of so far, so it's to be expected by now. Luckily all of the previous ones up until now have just short term implications on the franchise. This one has long term.

Meier was the biggest player of the deadline. The Sharks are the dregs of the NHL. Now the team might be the laughing stock of the NHL.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

So, no Holtz, Mercer, or Nemec.

Sounds like Grier got fleeced.

 

[Friday]

Zetterlund an RFA thoughhhh, why we like this

 

[undercovernerd]

Plot twist. Timo gets traded to NJ, wins them a cup and then comes back to SJ for

I swear. The Devils then send Timo to Vegas for 10 1sts. We can all find a new team

Yea.... as a recent PNW transplant, I'll start watching the Kraken and redo my office. #12 and #19 get to stay up on the walls though.

As if they haven't been before? Dude, reverse sweep. The world keeps on turning.

 

[sharski]

Oh what did you think of Rings of Power?

I thought it was atrocious, could not feel empathy or connect with anyone but Elendil.

I mainly watched it with gr8 interest in a rubbernecking-as-you-slowly-drive-by-a-horrible-accident kind of way

Guilty pleasure/10

Well, they did make it to the Stanley Cup Final that one year...

 

[NJDevils17]

Sorry y’all, just wanted to add some context re: a player we really like. But understand.

Give it some time to rebuild and we'll be right back in the hunt, it doesn't happen overnight

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

Yea f*** this, just give me Holtz at this point

 

[Juxtaposer]

From an NJ fan:

Zetterlund is a player we’re all huge fans of. A lot of people didn’t want to include him in this deal. Hardworking and a pest on the ice. Physical, smart and willing to shoot.

I think a lot of fans think he can excel in an expanded role. We really don’t like losing him.

No offense, but this isn’t really the time and place to be saying something like this. We’re all strung tight and a little pissed if. Zetterlund is a solid player. He’s trash as a main return in this trade.

 

[undercovernerd]

If it's not at least a 1st, Holtz + ....... AND we don't tank/lottery into a top 3 draft spot -- we got played.

Same exact scouting report from the fans as every single other bottom 6 grinder we acquired this year. Very cool.

 

[aircobra]

We really don’t like losing him.

First off, read the f***ing room. Second, I fully believe you have no issues losing him as a main piece in a trade for Meier.

 

[Gecklund]

Injury concerns are what’s holding up the deal according to Friedman.

players like that are a dime a dozen. hell we got Essymiont earlier this year and didn't have to trade, you know, a 70+ point top line scoring winger in his prime for well below market value to get him.

I've been saying 3-4 years. And this is on top of the two years already. I don't think the Sharks as a franchise can wait 6-7 years to become good again, not with the sports choices in the Bay Area.

So this is the Sharks version of Carlos Correa then. Bay Area sports and "injury concerns" (Didn't the Warriors deal with something similar with Portland?). Name a more iconic duo.
