Smith clears but Emberson gets claimed. Really?
That's why I am surprised, the Sharks defence is basically stay-at-home D's galore already.Emberson is good at defending. That said the Sharks don't really have an offensive defenseman.
Scouting report on Emberson?
Decent size.... very smart defender---voted best defensive defender in the AHL eastern conference last year. Also took a step with his two way game.
That's why I am surprised, the Sharks defence is basically stay-at-home D's galore already.

You should start adding these up, I'd be curious what the finally tally of waiver payouts is at the end of each seasonFor those interested, this cost San Jose $56,250, paid to New York and not counted against the cap.

I actually do! HahaYou should start adding these up, I'd be curious what the finally tally of waiver payouts is at the end of each season
It’s probable as Vlasic has been dealing with injury throughout camp.Could this guy make the Sharks?
Emberson is RHD Teams always lookingSmith clears but Emberson gets claimed. Really?
Could this guy make the Sharks?
NYR will hope Sharks waive and NYR can (re)claim/demoteDidn’t realize he hadn’t played any NHL games
Karlsson is so good his retained salary can run a PP!Yeah after Karlsson they don't have a guy that can run a power play. I don't know what happened to Smith. He was an outstanding CHL defenseman but both the Devils and the Pens kind go gave up on him. Not seeing him very often the last couple years my thoughts are there may be issues with his defensive play and/or just overall confidence. For young D those are things that can really stymie their progress.

San Jose is obviously tanking for the 1st overall pick in the 2024 draft, they may give Thrun a look early on in the season but it doesn’t make sense to shell a legitimate defensive prospect when this team is going to be caved night in and night out on defense.lol
lmao even
both of those guys are more likely to sit in the press box than be our top pair.
and Thrun is absolutely making the team. he was our best Defenseman outside of EK65 the last two weeks of last season and has been tearing it up in the preseason.
Okhotyuk has to go through waivers if he is not on the roster. So he better make the team or he is gone.San Jose is obviously tanking for the 1st overall pick in the 2024 draft, they may give Thrun a look early on in the season but it doesn’t make sense to shell a legitimate defensive prospect when this team is going to be caved night in and night out on defense.
I would like to see prospects like Thrun, Mukhamadullin and Okhotyuk make the team but Grier will play it safe and have the tweeners and the aging defenders get shelled for most of the season.
