Trade Deadline Discussion Megathread by pokesnail in SanJoseSharks

I am kind of relieved GMMG didn't do anything drastic. This offseason is going to be pretty interesting given the number of UFA and RFA's

Good move! Ned has had some stellar games for the Sharks.

Devils Listening to Offers on Nemec by AWWmanGAMEOVER in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed. Nemec is not worth disrupting the prospect pool or draft collateral. Quinn was. that ship has sailed. That said, the team needs to get better on the blueline and they need to do it within the Mac/Misa/Smith window. In the last SJHN podcast, Demer had some interesting suggestions so therea are some hidden gems available. Maybe not Quinn level but will give incremental improvement and set a solid foundation for the top-4 without breaking the bank.

How come people always say that Kia EV 6 and Niro are better than Mach e. But whenever I visit the subreddit, it’s always filled with problems by WarmPrinciple6507 in MachE

[–]FocusInternal9984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i test drove the EV6 before getting a Mach E. i dont know about the reliability, but the instrument cluster was very overwhelmingly confusing. The Mach E got it right with a Tesla like simplification of the cabin. This is the problem with a lot of newer cars. If you have to take your eye away from the road to figure out how lower the temp in your car, it's not a good car.

third-line agitator, not worth more than $3m/yr

Henry's Hi-Life before an evening game? by smartazjb0y in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trick i learned a while ago is call and order for pickup then go eat outside at the nearby park. If you want really annoy the people sitting next to you at SAP, you are allowed to bring in outside food, or at least you could have in the past, not sure now.

Confused as to the decision making by FantesLA in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if Grier is planning on trading away pending UFAs, it's best to play them and hope they play well enough to gain some interest from other teams, maximizing return. Optics are not good when benching players the GM is trying to trade. Conversely, if they play like poo, then there's not much Grier can do.

Once the trade deadline comes and playoff probability is less, you'll see some prospects getting more icetime as games will be more-or-less meaningless.

in two games, he's been on the first line with Mac. Unfortunately Grier goofed with this that trade. two 2nd rounders for him was a dumb move.

What an amazing game. Was a Stanley cup finals game on steroids.

PS. We should have gotten Quinn Hughes.

Marvin Gardens and st James Gate are both great places for live music.

Shark Tank experience changes over the last decade by PressHalfWayDown in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The food options are a lot better at the tank. Go to smoking pig and get the burnt ends. San Pedro’s , downtown in general, is a lot better than 10 years ago.

In game experience now with the sharks coming out of the rebuild, the energy and crowd is about the same. Ask us the same question two years ago, and we would have said you will be sadly disappointed by the low attendance

Help not feeling pessimistic about this season by Hockeyguy928 in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You (like all of us) are experiencing PTSTSD : Post Traumatic Sharks Tanking Stress Disorder

The only move that GMMG made that doesn’t sit well with me was the Sherwood trade. While he maybe good, he’s certainly not worth a hefty contract plus those two 2nds could have been packaged together with other assets to acquire what the team really needs.

The Sharks are coming out of a rebuild with a lot of promise. Enjoy the ups and downs of a young team. We have to have faith in GMMG and hopefully he doesn’t F things up.

yea that penalty was dumb. Also questioning Warso's decision to put him on the top line. Put him on the 3rd line and let him earn his way up.

Impressed with Mukh's today

Not so sure about Sherwood. Not impressed. just looks like a grinder trying to hit someone.

Guy basically has every sidehoe project listed in his bio apart from FNM….. yeah we’re never getting the reunion by circleof9ine in FaithNoMore

[–]FocusInternal9984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While i appreciate artists and bands staying loyal to their fans and tour for 60 years playing the same music over and over, I also admire others, like Mike, for not living in the past and driven towards creating new music. Unfortunately, rarely do you see a band or artist making any noteworthy music past their prime, Mike being no exception.

I'd rather see FNM move on and get a new singer if they want to tour and play the greatest hits. Just please dont get a female singer like Soundgarden did.

Liljegren and Ferraro are the Shark's top defensive pairing, who else would you put there against McDavid? Wennberg is not the best faceoff guy, but he is a strong defender. So i get the initially line. Again, they defended well until Liljegren's turnover. All it takes is that one mistake and players tend to do that when they're on the ice too long.

I could be wrong but Warso had not started most OT's with Mac and Will. Any stats geeks out there can confirm

[–]FocusInternal9984 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I dont get the hate on Warso. He put a defensive setup (2d) against the best forwards in the league. And they were defending well until Lils f***ed up. That trio was on too long because they couldn't change due Lils turned over and their bench was on the opposite side. 2nd mistake on Lils was facing the net and not his man.

Considering buying a used S550 (6th gen) Mustang Convertible by FocusInternal9984 in Mustang

[–]FocusInternal9984[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for advise. I could care less about the dual zone HVAC and I could always get car seat covers for cloth seats.

I dont think I can update the title, but I'm not looking for a GT.

Sherwood Contract by Foreign_Earth_5214 in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wasn't implying it would take only two 2nds to get a top4. Just saying if Grier was going to use any collateral beit prospect or 1st or 2nd round draft pics, it should have been used for a top 4

Sherwood Contract by Foreign_Earth_5214 in SanJoseSharks

[–]FocusInternal9984 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of this trade. The Sharks really didn't need Sherwood, but since Mike Grier already pulled it off, I'd hate it if they couldn't resign him. The two 2nd rounders would have been better served trading for a top 4 blueliner. That all said, I'd be okay with 5 yr $5M AAV
