I agree. If Jumbo and Patty leave, I wish them the best. I don't expect them to leave money on the table or pass up a better chance at the Cup.
I don't blame Doug either. We aren't in a position to contend with them making top dollar and, bc we don't have a lot of ELCs (compared to some teams), we can't eat much cap or term.

I read it as "we're going to say there's lot of interest, so SJ will fold under our bluff and give us what we want"
I disagree that they aren't in a position to contend with them making even what they were making on these expiring contracts. They absolutely can and should since they don't have better options. A rebuild with what they have is not a good option because they're not bad enough to toil in the bottom of the league's standings and they're not good enough w/o them to do anything in the playoffs if they were lucky enough to make it.

What's Nashville's cap like without Neal now? With Thornton or even both of them if possible, they'd be the favorites out of the West.
About 23 mil in space where they have nine forwards signed plus need to re-sign their backup which obviously isn't much but just what they'll end up doing. But they also have RFA forwards in Johansen, Watson, Gaudreau, Aberg, and Arvidsson so they'd have to clear out someone just for roster space.
They have 22 million in cap and they have to re-sign Arvidsson and Johansen, and then fill out the roster, so they're in good shape.

If Thornton bounces back, maybe. Otherwise I don't see us contending. We'd also need Burns to have a good year and some combination of Vlasic, Braun, Couture, Hertl, Pavelski, or other players to have good years.
I agree that they don't have any better obvious options right now. They're probably a bubble team, like you say.

Because the Sharks scouting staff seems incapable of selecting top end offensive talent.
They have Mazanec to re-sign as an RFA. Saros can still be sent down to the AHL to get games in next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that for next year. Having a 22 year old ELC goalie back up Rinne is probably not the wisest way to handle things.

Why does anyone still pay attention to the Fourth Period?
Honestly even established guys like McKenzie and Dreger have been batting terribly on trade rumors recently, I certainly wouldn't trust hacks like TFP.

Again, those morons are complete hacks. They don't have reliable sources. If even the actual insiders can't figure anything out beforehand, dumbasses writing for The Fourth Period certainly don't have a clue.

Not only top end offensive talent. When was the last time they drafted anybody worth a damn?
