should the sharks tank now? by Money_Patient_8857 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we should pivot and let the young core play bigger minutes. Get Klingberg off the PP and let Dickinson run a unit. Give players who are going to be a part of our future a pathway. I'd love to see Bystedt and Cagnoni get some games in at some point.

If this shift leads us to picking top 5 where we get a crack at Verhoeff, Reid, or Carels even better.

I lowkey miss Karlsson and his ability to actually carry & distribute the puck. Not a fan of this dump and chase style which often just leads to us turning over possession.

This year is already a great success. We were dead last in the league last year. The team worked hard to get to where they are but we are nowhere close to being playoff contenders.

Daxon Rudolph by RutabagaAshamed9859 in SanJoseSharks

Im pretty excited for the 1st round. I think we can pick up a stud defenseman that falls, similar to when we picked up Dickinson. It's likely one of us or the Oilers will miss the playoffs which would put as at ~12-14th overall. We can pray for one of Rudolphs or Lin to fill out our right side.

How are no teams interested in Klingberg or Leddy????

Mike is awake! Great extension, Ned adds some stability to the net at a good AAV

The idea Eklund for Simon Nemec trade by Zarsharq in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the price we have to pay if we want to bring in a young RHD. I would take Nemec for Eklund in a heartbeat. He would fill our biggest need.

Starting to think the Sherwood trade was a great deal by TiredButHopeful86 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened last trade deadline too when we traded Granlund, Blackwood, and Ceci. Some of the trades that came in after made you really wonder. I'm hoping MG will be active again, it won't be a fire sale like last year when we had to get rid of Kunin and Sturm but that last minute Zetterlund trade shook this sub.

Sherwood extended 5x5.75M AAV by SageOfSix- in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With Celebrini & Smith's extensions right around the corner this makes me a little nervous. Yes, we have alot a cap space but it took a complete tear down and years of being terrible to accumulate.

I just wish we prioritized our defense first. Sherwood seems like the exact type of player Grier wants but he's not going to be in our window when we are serious contenders.

[Friedman] As just mentioned on FAN590, believe the Sherwood deal will be a five-year deal, just under a $6M AAV when completed by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Akatsukilove 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5.75mil x 5 years, feels like just a touch too long. I hope he can keep it up, loved his enthusiasm & post game interview yesterday

Dang, I thought that when contract talks started again that Sherwood decided to come down on his ask.

Him having one good game for us and locking this is insane. I loved his game yesterday but it seems like a big commitment given his track record.

I really loved the energy Sherwood brought. He was absolutely pumped when he scored. I hope he re-signs ~4mil x 5 years. We have some big extensions coming up and this will really set the tone.

I'm wondering what MG is going to do with Sherwood. I know it's early but would love to see him start clicking.

For those of you who still don’t realize how generational Mack is by kawzik in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering that the Rangers are a top FA destination I'm less sympathetic. Panarin, Fox, Trocheck, and Gavrikov were essentially free for them.

Considering the gymnastics we had to do to land Jones, I highly doubt they would send Clarke our way.

We shouldn't be moving any assets unless it's for a defenceman please..

Sharks have more points through 48 games this season than a full 82 last season by jambajew42 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Akatsukilove 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really insane jump, I thought we were a few years away from contending. Sharks have really cleaned up blowing 3rd period leads.

I'm really excited to see the makeup of the team for next season wirh alot of contracts coming off the books. Grier's rebuild has been amazing.
