J0e Th0rnton Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Sharks current need are Right handed D, which almost none are available! Almost anything is an improvement on our Right D side. Currently rocking Jan Rutta, Vlasic playing his off side and Matthew Benning or Ty Emberson lol We have NOBODY who can play on the PP. Stay away from Barrie, DeAngelo or Klingberg Grier! Justin Schultz maybe? Matt Roy? And some guys we can get on 1 year deals to flip for picks at the trade deadline. I hear Duclair wants to come back lol Edited July 1 by J0e Th0rnton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 (edited) Apparently the Rangers have given an ultimatum to Trouba to waive for a trade or be put on waivers. Basically, accept this trade to the red wings or the Sharks are going to claim you LOL https://x.com/DarrenDreger/status/1807749675430060205 Edited July 1 by J0e Th0rnton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Sharks sign Tyler Toffoli. 4 years at $6mil a year I like it. nothing long term. We need goal scorers as most of our players are playmakers, not finishers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that people wildly under-value the presence of having some actual grown men on the roster during a rebuild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that people wildly under-value the presence of having some actual grown men on the roster during a rebuild. Granlund, Will Smith and Eklund are both playmakers first. having a good old goalscorer will be beneficial. I still want us to lose and get a high pick 2025, but I don't want the kids coming in and getting caved in every game like last season. it was historically bad.

JR Ewing Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) I don't know the contract terms, but I really like the player and the needs he addresses. ---edit--- Pierre LeBrun brought the terms: $4M x 2 years. That's more than palatable for a badger who can skate and score goals. Leon finally gets a scoring winger.

JR Ewing Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 1 minute ago, flyercanuck said: Of course...you just don't want them signed til they're 40 while being grossly overpaid. Right. They need to be signed to reasonable contracts, which should be the goal no matter the age of the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 So with the Vancouver and Boston signings, the teams essentially traded Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadora to Boston... For Danton Heinen and Jake DeBrusk to the Canucks. Right off the top of my head reaction is... Boston wins that "trade", although if Jake DeBrusk can fully get his orca out of his butt, he may have a much higher ceiling than any of those players.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) That Arvidsson signing could go either way, @JR Ewing On the one hand, Arvy is a very good performer....when healthy....and, earlier on in his career, I even compared him as being the Swedish Nikita Kucherov. Of course, Arvy isn't quite that, but still... On the other hand...injuries have been his nemesis the last couple seasons, and his defensive game isn't exactly something you would showcase to young upcoming two way forwards. I would be rooting for Arvy though. Was hoping some time ago that either the Wild or Lightning could somehow get ahold of him....before the parade of injuries that is.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 As for Stammer in Nashville.... I think imma gonna be sick for awhile. Really thought he could retire a Bolt for life. I will get over it.... after seeing past heroes of mine leave the team and do well elsewhere, one kinda gets a bit numb to that sort of thing, but still... The ONLY real way this becomes truly disgusting is if the Predators, either this coming season or next, fall out of contention, decide to do a full on rebuild, and Stamkos gets traded to somewhere like Boston, Toronto, or Florida, where he will likely torch his former love, the Tampa Bay Lightning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Toffoli will probably not be worth $6M in that last year, but we’ll have guys like Musty, Halttunen, Chernyshov, etc. pushing for top-6 spots by that point on ELCs so Toffoli at $6M in a third line role won’t be a problem.

This is a decent gamble, imo. Quote and his defensive game isn't exactly something you would showcase to young upcoming two way forwards. Viktor Arvidsson doesn't get the least bit sheltered by his coaches, spending most of his time playing against the opposition's best players, but look at what happens he's on the ice: When a guy plays tough comp, and scoring chances against, dangerous chances against and the goals against go down, you're not talking about a bad defensive player, even if too many people conflate hitting with defense. Usually, it just means the other team has the puck too damned often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
