The Official "Thank you Departing Sharks" thread: 2024 Free Agency Edition (so far: Cooley, MacDonald)

[The Nemesis]

Don't want to have multiple threads for anyone who leaves today through free agency (or possible trades) so this will be the one-stop shop for anyone on their way out of San Jose.

First up to open this thread is Devin Cooley, who has signed with Calgary for 2 years.

It was fun while it lasted having a hometown kid make good with his childhood team. Good luck, Devin.

This thread will be updated as other players leave.

Jason MacDonald signed with the Avs.

Jason MacDonald signed with the Avs.

I could've sworn his name was Jacob but maybe that tells how invested in last years team I was.

It's Jacob. Just shows how popular he was around here.

Cooley was a fun story but isn't a good goalie, good luck in Calgary! MacDonald probably didn't want to be in the AHL all year (with the 1,000 bottom-6 forwards and bottom pair D the Sharks already have...)

McDonald is also a RHD and those aren’t allowed on the Sharks or Cuda.

Actually he’s another LHD.

One thing I noticed about the Cooley signing is that it gives the Flames an all-bay-area tandem of him and Wolf.

If Cooley and Wolf is their NHL tandem then I would put them as the favorites to finish with the highest lottery odds.
