Sharks Roster Discussion Part V

[magic school bus]

More teams around us getting better while we're at a standstill, as is tradition.

Well put

I don't think Doug does anything without first knowing the situation with Thornton and Marleau can't see a trade happening without those 2 first being signed, if at all.

DW doesn't need to go hit a Home Run, the team is fine, only needs some minor improvements.

Kris Russell at $4M is a ripoff. Bad Contract for the Oilers.

This is frustrating, but I don't want him to make a trade just for the sake of making one.

great contract for everyone else though.

That's assuming Jumbo and Patty are coming back. If they arnt the Sharks have 16M in cap space and only a couple legit top 6 forwards.

That would be very short-sighted. DW has to prepare for life without Jumbo and Patty. He cannot put our future on hold for those two.

Also, I find it highly unlikely that he does not know if they are coming back or not by this point.

I'm not worried about Jumbo and Marleau. There's almost zero chance DW doesn't sign them.

I hope I'm wrong but this offseason is looking more and more like DW's plan can be boiled down to: "Pray that we don't get a single injury and we'll win the cup."

I'm no Doug Wilson fan but the offseason is barely underway. Let's wait and see what he does. If he re-signs Thornton and Marleau and adds Kovalchuk, that's pretty good.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'm just amazed that a former NHL defenseman has struggled to find a competent third pair (save last year).

He sure has a lot of trouble implementing any type of organizational philosophy for drafting offensive defensemen, especially considering how he was basically an HOF offensive defenseman.

You take that back. Jim Fahey was an offensive dynamo.

Do we have any idea at all what getting Kovalchuk from the Devils would cost? And then, there is a question of term and AAV.

There's rumors but nothing really solid.

Well yeah, it's the only time he wins the big trophy.

 

[OffSydes]

He seems to not know stuff

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yah. Been following his twitter and I am starting to realize the same.

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

He's so ****ing dumb. None of these guys are any good. Of course you'd trade Braun, Tierney and O'Regan for someone like Duchene and die laughing as soon as you hang up the phone.

Yup, you take that and run far away if you're the Sharks.

 

[Nighthock]

I just don't want to DW to make reactionary moves, trying to mimic another team. Be proactive. Choose your (our) own damn direction. There's being smart, then there's being slow to the draw.

 

[Lebanezer]

Doug does all his best trades in and around the draft. I wouldn't worry about him making a reactionary trade. Unless it's something minor like the failed Kennedy for a second. If he goes after Duchene or Galchenyuk or whoever, he'll make a smart deal.

You're being too....reasonable.....stop it!!
