Professionally, IDK why Duclair would resign with us. Clearly the absence of quality line mates is hurting his production, so if he wants to win + get paid, he'd best go elsewhere

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Even if we could be the team that he’d get paid most by, the team should still rent him out and Duclair should want the competitive opportunity.

Kahkonen and Blackwood need more praise. I know we are trying to lose, these 2 have single handedly won us games. Let them go play for a team that has a chance to do something, we are not only wasting good years from them, but it is literally a negative for them to perform well on our squad.

Everybody loses. Sharks hockey.
I hate rooting for the Sharks to lose. They are far and away my favorite sports team. Picking 4th for the next 5 years is a sure fire way for us to end up like Buffalo.
Of course I want the players to be happy, unfortunately, we have to lose for the rest of the season to expedite the process.

Completely agree, Duclair has taken on a mentor role and genuinely seems like he’s happy here. A 3rd rounder is meh, I’d rather he keep helping Eklund and Zetterlund.
If he wants to resign to a reasonable hit then yeah, but if he’s leaving at the end of the year then I’d rather take the pick.

Who's gonna tell them that Sandisfan has been automating those Likes for a couple years now
Probably using some super gross selenium in java like a psychopath
He for sure has to have some sort of board record for liked posts.
I am real and I don't give likes or reaction emojis to just anyone. I will have to see if I should give you reaction points in the future. LOL Just Kidding.

Frank Seravalli had a podcast segment about how unhappy the Sharks players are, so Sheng did some digging to see how much of it is real. We respond to that and Frank's comments on a Canucks Army podcast as well in which he called Grier the 2nd worst GM in the league behind now fired Jarmo. We also compare the Sharks of February 2023 to February 2024 and see just how much of a dropoff there has been in a year. Anyways, lots of ranting in this one.

I hope the words "f***" and "Seravalli" make an appearance in that order.

Your point about how it seems like National media is specifically dumping on the Sharks a lot is really poignant. The Ducks, Coyotes, Hawks, Sabres, and Blue Jackets have been just as bad as the Sharks for longer than the Sharks, so why is it that Grier, who has been the Sharks’ GM literally for a year and a half, is the target for all these guys? It’s just suspicious.

Sheng has to hold his tongue about his peers, but reading between the lines, it's pretty clear that Seravalli's source is Labanc and that Gregor also shit on the team last year and that's all they need to make some statements in a podcast. Really helps connect the dots for the waiver weirdness as well.
Seravaili also ended up looking like an ass hat with the Labanc waivers thing, so he's prob just mad at Grier's front office lol

Yeah it's really unfair. I think there's a disconnect somewhere or some bias cause he's new.
Maybe it's just straight reportage that's being taken the wrong way. Labanc doesn't feel like he's playing on an NHL franchise because...he isn't. Gregor didn't feel prepared for games because...he wasn't. Food for thought
I just finished listening to the last podcast.
You guys correctly call out 4 offense only wingers in Duclair, Hoffman, Labanc, and Barabonov as a significant reason the Sharks are easier to play against this year. It should be noted that Labanc and Barabonov were inherited from the previous regime and Hoffman was only acquired to facilitate moving Karlsson. Duclair is the only one of those wingers that Grier sought out. He has had the best season of the bunch.

Didn't even know wahlstrom. A little quick archival work shows a nice cautionary tale on the draft and why you can't get too wedded to any one pick. Islanders fans were absolutely stoked to get him at 11OA. "A better Boeser" "Laine-esque scoring" etc.
At 11th Overall Islanders take Oliver Wahlstrom
Great Pick IMO Oliver Wahlstrom Scouting Report: 2018 NHL Draft
And similarly lofty discussion on the main thread.
RW Oliver Wahlstrom - Boston College, NCAA (2018, 11th, NYI)
I absolutely agree with the premise of your post. 50 goals is an absurd expectation. What I dislike is the bolded. Please let go of the draft bias. Who cares where he was selected? Hell, two of the four guys you named were drafted AFTER where Wahlstrom went in their respective drafts (58th and...

Report: Sharks players don't draw much trade deadline interest.
What a shocker “One of the problems that San Jose has, there’s not a lot there that people are chasing,” Friedman said. Seemed like we have over-estimated the Sharks talents here in this chatroom. It's going to be a VERY quiet trading deadline for GMMG. ZZZZZZZ
