So Kurtis Gabriel unceremoniously retires from hockey barely a year after suiting up in almost a quarter of the Sharks’ games. Doug Wilson put together some utterly embarrassing rosters at the end there.

Good thing Mike Grier is continuing that legacy

Which player that Grier brought in this offseason can you realistically see retiring in a year? Grier acquired actual NHL depth while Doug Wilson was content to fill out his roster with scrubs and terrible prospects for the last three years.

Dude that's just our roster right now

Adding Luke Kunin, Steven Lorentz, and Evgeni Svechnikov really isn't that much better than what we've had in the past three years with guys like Noesen or Gabriel

It's so funny that MacKinnon is the highest paid player in the league just in time for him to not even be the best player on his team

How? Even after this extension they still have $17 million in cap space for the 23-24 season with MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Makar, Toews, Nichushkin, Lehkonen, Manson, Girard both goalies, etc. all signed.

How so? Next summer, they will have at least $12M in cap space and need to sign Newhook and Byram to bridge deals. Neither can opt for arbitration. The core is signed for the next three seasons when they can fill out the roster with veterans who will take less to chase a cup. They are not facing the situation the Sharks faced in the summer of 2019 any time soon.

Having a core of Makar, MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog is a pretty great start, too.

The Avalanche will be a strong contender for at least a few years.

They need to sign 9 players next season to ice a team, that is an average of 1.5 mil per player. The only players they have signed is core players, filling out the depth of that team is going to be hard if they still want to roll the lines like they have the past couple seasons.

Their top six forwards, top four defensemen and goalies are already signed. 1.5 million per player to fill out the bottom end of the roster is more than enough. Once the cap goes up to 90 million in 2-3 years they'll have even more to spend.

And the Sharks were rumored to offer Tavares more lmao

I still don't want to be leaf that 8x$13M or whatever was actually offered... That's like Deshaun Watson contract insanity level

Tavares would have to REALLY h8 the prospect of playing in San Jose to turn down that kind of guap
