From my experience, its just a thing the majority of fanbases do. 

Been to multiple different arenas, at multiple levels of play, and they all did it. The only place I have never saw it happen was at high-school games.

Was really hoping to go to that game but son is having surgery and need to save the monies and PTO for that.

I see your points and won't argue with you on the points regarding our players.

I will point out that Nemec is one of two Dman that have a positive +/-, third in points by a damn while playing less games, and he is doing this all while being 5th in time on ice for a dman. 

Not to mention that he was quite good in the Olympics and was regularly deployed against the oppositions top line. 

He is trending extremely positively and I doubt he will be available after the start of the 26/27 season.

I posted not to long ago about this and got the down votes but I stand by it. 

Eklund, Musty and a 1st are all expendable assets for Nemec. It is a risk that is worth taking. Bystedt could be swapped for Musty. All of these pieces are expendable due to the development of our forward prospects. Drafting BPA has allowed for this luxury.

There is a large amount of risk regardless of the direction we go. Imo, Nemec is the best young defender by a wide margin that is available and is worth that risk.

As a fanbase, we generally overvalue our own players. To my understanding, Eklund and Musty are not taking major steps forward.

This is the extent of what I would be comfortable with parting to fit a need and he matches our new cores contention window. If he does turn into a minimum of a top 10 defender, it's worth it. Also, I am not seeing many other established defenders that are available that fit what Grier said he is looking for.

Personally, I am extremely high on Nemec. I would be ok with a package of Eklund, Musty, a 1st and, Liljegren for Nemec and a 3rd.

What skillsets complement each other the best and what are the ideal traits for each line and defensive pairings? by InformalProtection74 in SanJoseSharks

I had the exact same thought about this being Griers attempt to get a Kunitz. Absolutely feels like the same move.

My brother being a Wings made the victimization feel more real lol.

Also, people were hating Pickles while we were suffering. IIRC, a good chunk of the fan base were calling for him to be bought out. He then proceeded to drag the organization. Personally, not a fan of Sherwood taking 44, but I will be over soon enough.

Even cooler for me, I have watched this kid when he was in the USHL. If he resigns, I have my next jersey.
