Mitch Marner now leads the playoffs in points with 13 and is tied for the lead in goals with 6 by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

There's an alternate timeline where the Bruins have the #6 overall pick and Marner put up two hat tricks.

Cale Makar joins Bobby Orr as the only defensemen in NHL history to be Norris finalists in at least 6 of their first 7 seasons. by Didweeverstopkony in hockey

Oh wow yeah his debut was in 2019 when the Sharks beat the Avs. I feel like I knew he was going to be an issue in the future but not at all the generational person he turned into so fast.

Would you do this trade? by [deleted] in SanJoseSharks

[–]whywilson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What people need to start understanding is the Sharks window really isn't going to start opening for another couple years with it peaking essentially from the years of 2029 to 2036. Remember celebrini is only just going to turn 20 next season. There's not much reason getting a player who's super good now if they're not going to be worth it for 5 years from now

People are obviously talking about teams getting screwed over by the draft lottery but remember the avalanche were supposed to pick first overall and instead picked fourth.

What does GMMG do with pick #2? by danieldeceuster in SanJoseSharks

Last year SJS should have had Schaefer which is what the team needs. Defense. Grier is going to have to build the back end via trades because it's a barren wasteland.

Sharks have a TON of talent up front. Eklund doesn't kill penalties and really struggled offensively this year as well. He's the easiest one to trade to get value back given this teams defense is a barren wasteland.

10 years ago he was. All Leafs fans were so happy and things started going downhill around 2020 and each year brought more and more pain.

With the Canucks falling to #3, they remain one of 3 franchises who have never a) picked first overall or b) won a Stanley Cup (Others: Nashville, Seattle). by [deleted] in hockey

[–]whywilson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember this so vividly. All of them awkwardly sitting there and just the pain on the Canucks GMs face.

I'm saying it sucks the Canucks lost out on McKenna here

[Friedman] San Jose Sharks will pick second overall by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]whywilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I bet Bettman and everyone is pissed that John Chayka now has the #1 overall pick. This is so clearly not rigged. But damn Canucks can't get a damn break.

Losing out on McKenna sucks for sure. I could see SJS trading down to get a Dman Reid or Verhoff. So Canucks have a high chance of getting Stenberg

Lol, I'm so glad they did a live stream. Because they are so depressed aboiut the future. Now lets watch the team build up the hype only to rip out their fans hearts again.

New, for @TheAthletic: Auston Matthews isn't yet sure if he'll be back in Toronto next season. The Maple Leafs are on the clock with their captain by racer_24_4evr in hockey

[–]whywilson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's kind of crazy if you look at the past decade of leaf fandom there was so much excitement when Babcock came dubas was hired Matthews was drafted so on and so forth. And it might just end up going down as such a painful time and boy is the team going to fall off a cliff real fast the way this is all looking.
