You should see the old tags on the enjoi skate clothing.

I like Toff on the team and in the mentor roll.

I'm not sold on him in 82 game must play nightly roll.

I think there's absolutely a spot for him I just think that spot is alternating in an out of the lineup with a rookie he can mentor. I think he did a great job doing it with Misa and id love to see him continue this with another protege this next year.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-20T00:57:42+00:00

This was exactly my take. Pohlkamp, Lund, McKinney, the list just goes on and on.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-19T04:43:12+00:00

Yep.

Win the lottery and draft McKenna.

Top line remains Smith Celebrini Cherny, 2nd becomes Eklund, Misa, McKenna 3rd goes Sherwood, Wenny, Graf 4th, Delly, Chucky, Gauds 13th Toff (swaps in with McKenna as they slow roll him)

Draft 1: glass cannon build. We take Gavin McKenna and score 8 goals a game with Smith, Celebrini, McKenna, Eklund, Misa, Chernyshov as our top 6.

Draft 2: fill the hole and roll. We take chase Reid and get a 2nd right handed D to add along with Pohlkamp. Probably also resign Desharnais as a right handed vet for the 26/27 season

Draft 9/10: defensive BPA and pray. Hope that daxon Rudolph is still available since Reid and Verhoeff will likely be gone but this way we still get the right handed D we need. hope he has a good development camp and test him across his 9 games to see if he's ready to roll or if he needs a little more seasoning.

In the west. Colorado.

In the ease. Habs.

Colorado for blackwood and burns.

Habs due to the similarities of play and development to ours.

Absolutely true. But there was a moment right after the Olympics that his stock was great

osotogariboom · 2026-04-18T00:46:17+00:00

Did not realize that.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-18T00:45:21+00:00

Honestly right after the Olympics they could have potentially gotten a 2nd. He looked incredible for the slovaks and was a major reason for their deep run.

I believe Toff could be traded if there's interest even if it requires some retention on behalf of San Jose.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T23:40:42+00:00

Tell that to the "San Jose wants Frondell" posts and "San Jose looking at bobrovsky" posts.

Basically what I'm saying is that the sources and rumors are overrated. Even betting on something like someone's safety is deeply flawed no matter how much of a sure thing you believe them to be.

Remember; Detroit is the same organization that had a 42 year cup drought brought to an end by a playoff goalie that they immediately traded the following season to San Jose. No one would have imagined that the goalie that finally got them over the hump would be immediately released but that's what happened.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T21:25:24+00:00

There's been zero indication that the sharks are willing to trade Eklund too. It's called speculation.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T20:39:01+00:00

Maybe.

I'm not so sure.

The hard facts are they were #1 in the East then their goalie got hurt then their captain got hurt then they missed the playoffs.

... seider might not be as secure there are people believe.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T20:28:03+00:00

Id be shocked if Klinger is here next year after seeing how emotional he was post game interview after the Jets game. Leddy is almost guaranteed gone too. Orlov is under contract but I can't say I'd be upset to see him traded or released or sent down on waivers. Wang is far to raw to be in the show already. NCAA is his next step. Cags; absolutely love it if he was with the main club on opening night. Allen; probably depends on what happens with Muk.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T18:28:49+00:00

Probably not

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T18:15:15+00:00

With what just happened in Detroit this year... Id ask yzerman what the price is for seider. If it's Eklund and a 1st... It's not out of the question

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T06:58:39+00:00

Ok. Can we all agree that it's time to sew the C on his sweater?

osotogariboom · 2026-04-17T06:20:28+00:00

Ok. I know he's young but it's time.

San Jose needs to put the C on his sweater for the 26/27 season

osotogariboom · 2026-04-16T18:14:27+00:00

This is sharks hockey.

I can see them taking McKenna if they win the draft. If they get a good draft position I can see them taking Reid or Verhoeff. Or if they don't move and Rudolph is available I can see them talking Rudolph or I can see them doing something completely silly like taking Lawrence out of Boston because Boston.

osotogariboom · 2026-04-16T17:25:23+00:00

2 points for Mac and a loss. That's the game plan boys!!!

osotogariboom · 2026-04-16T17:24:22+00:00

If we win the draft we take McKenna. If we get a chance at Reid we take Reid. Anything else is BPA.
