If the waiting and development and patience game persists much longer none of it will matter

The development game has been a blast for two years now. Enjoy the ride

There's not always a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Ever heard the term "piss or get off the pot"? It's time for this management team to take a long hard piss.

Yes, awesome losses. Prefer a complete NHL hockey team over the lotto balls. Not sure why it can't be both.

That is such a terrible way to look at this team. Always so focused on 3 GMs ago. The team has jumped 31 points in 2 years. What more could you expect from any team? There is more to come. And don't pretend like you didn't enjoy the hell out of last year. Right now is freaking goodbecaise so many more good times are coming.

The waiting is over. I don't believe we will see career highs from dahlin and Tage again this year. But I do anticipate a jump from other players. Say what you want. The defense is improved. Which in turns makes the Goaltending better, and that's not even factoring in Levi being better than the lot we had last year.

This team will make the playoffs next year. How far they go will determine if they bring in one more legit top for dman (dumba or Pesce) or another goalie.

Sorry that the backup goalie is ruining your joy. No team is perfect until they win. I didn't see Vegas as the cup favorite until they win.

Is it really? I didn't mention any gms. I didn't mention improvement. Never mentioned past expectations. I did enjoy last year to an extent.

I'm not blind and giddy either. I can see the music stopping on your fantastic voyage too.

Vegas odds to win the Cup starting in year 2(they were obviously immense long shots in year 1) rank then odds, T8th at +1400, 2nd +900, 2nd +800, 3rd +800, 7th +1800. Their longest odds aside from year one and they win it, go figure.

But never having worse than the 8th best odds? I would kill for that over a 5 year period. Hell, I'd kill for better than +10000

Another Defenseman is coming + more .

They're not playing around this year

I would be pleasantly surprised if the add a D and a G but I don’t think they do. A. Do they really need 10 NHL d under contract and you don’t invite a goalie over for dinner (UPL) then trade him for another one. KA, dillusional or not, believes in his goalies.

The only thing I see them adding is a forward - holding out hope for Tarasenko/Tarar. kA said he was close to signing one 7.1 but it didn’t work out

How many looks did Adams look at this:

https://twitter.com/nhl_w...&t=hqR9TYIpzRsCOAnvTWKdTw

Friedman on 32TP says when the Sharks talked to the Oilers about Erik Karlsson last season, they were willing to eat 18-20% of his salary.

Friedman says he feels in order to move Erik Karlsson, maybe the Sharks can't do 50%, but they might have to go closer to 40% than 20%.

Looks like Servelli and Gibson's agent are having a little Twitter fight on whether Gibson has requested a trade. Gibson says it is totally false or atleast his agent does.

Tage and Dahlin certainly can improve from last year. Tage was on Pace for around 60 goals and Dahlin for 100+ points before they both got dinged up and played the last 30 or so games injured

In KAs interview - he had UPL over to his house for dinner. He has a lot of faith in both goalies, hope he’s right

Yes they can, they could also take a step back. A lot of hope this year.
Everyone needs to take a step forward, we might have missed the playoffs by 1pt, but we also got a lot of help from teams playing like sh!t for periods of time in front of us. The whole team needs to develop and take another step.

The above is an important point, along with Boston hoarding points with how good they were.

Buffalo could improve to 97 points, and still miss the playoffs.

Curious how that end result would go over.

I am happy he hit area's of need, but he overpaid and could have done better for the money. The players all need to take a step forward as does the Coaching Staff. They need to actually put a system in and play it, can't just run and gun all the Time.

Servelli brought receipts! That’s hilarious. Gibson gets traded and gets a new agent soon after.

Actually, I'm super excited about the backup goalie and our future in net. Just need to sign a NHL starter first. Like the moves you've made so far, we'll see how the rest of the summer goes. The point is to not go into game 1 with an incomplete roster, again.
