So the Sharks have

Thornton, Pavelski, Couture, Kane, Hertl, Meier, etc up front


Karlsson, Burns, Vlasic, Braun, Dillon, etc on the back end


Jones in net




Granted that Thornton is now a fossil and Pavelski is up there too...but damn.

If that's all it took to get Karlsson, I bet a lot of GM's are pissed right about now

Love SJ management . I hope the win the cup

I don't know if that's totally correct CBC has different conditions on the 2nd one
- NorthNuck

That's from Friedman, he's Sportsnet/CBC's main insider.

Why do the kids have to have a Boeser like season?? If those are anyone’s expectations - that’s a horrible way to measure success.
How are kids like Goldy Gaudette Dahlin Leipsic supposed to show consistency if they’re not given an opportunity? All I’m saying is Schaller is not guaranteed a spot on the opening night roster - I didn’t say anything about waiving him either.
- Brooks_Light

That's all good and fine...but I'm saying he is. No one here will agree on everything.
You measure success by consistency. Like I said previously the only one that even remotely that has a shot to supplant Schaller early on is Leipsic. And even that depends. Dahlen and Gaudette have 5 NHL games between them. Schaller was brought here for a reason. Dahlen, Gaudette and even Goldy have a whole bunch to prove. Sure I want the kids to move up but patience man. I said 'Pettersson' is the only one that has the 'ability' to put up Boeser-like numbers. Goldy, Gaudette, Dahlen, Leipsic are a different thing altogether.

What I am curious about however is why pick on Schaller to be supplanted by Gaudette, Goldy, Dahlen or Leipsic?

Schaller scored as many goals as Beagle and Roussel combined.

Why can't Beagle or Roussel be punted down the depth chart?

If that's all it took to get Karlsson, I bet a lot of GM's are pissed right about now

- 93Nucks

the insane part is that Wilson traded for most of that core


Thornton, Kane, Burns, Karlsson, Jones


Hell, he even traded up to draft Couture.

Karlsson will help them but it's a Jets-Tampa final.

Wilson has done one heck of a job.

It sucks we have to play against Karlsson so much this year though haha

okay so this is it:



so yeah, I was right. They need to make the SCF and re-sign Karlsson for that extra 1st


And no way Wilson is letting them get that other 1st by trading him East

Karlsson will help them but it's a Jets-Tampa final.


- LordHumungous

Bruins and Sharks would be my pick


Sharks can put them on 2 different pairs and have an elite dman out there for 50 minutes inn a 60 minute game

and Vlasic and Braun are the exact type of guys who can just play the safe steady game for 20+ mins a night and let those 2 do their thing.

Adam larsson got a better return than erik karlsson

Let that sink in

So Benning just announced that they won’t sign Boeser this season. They will wait until next summer. Smart move
- CanuckDon

Norris is that middling prospect that pretty much everyone has.


Quinn Hughes outscored Norris who was their 2nd line center by quite a bit as a d-man.

I personally would have asked for Merkley. His upside is substantially higher.
- classic321

No wonder bending was in the hunt. Jesse. Tanev + 2020 1st + Hutton is better lol

Karlsson will help them but it's a Jets-Tampa final.


- LordHumungous

So Ottawa only gets a 2nd rounder

Benning said he would ask Edler to waive this year. Dim Jim is catching on

West is looking strong again


Still have the Preds/Jets but the Blues/Sharks have really loaded up.


Can't count out Vegas even though we all expect them to regress, replacing Perron and Neal with Pacioretty and Stastny is solid for them.

- canucksfan1944

Yeah, Norris is a Lind/Woo level prospect at best, rest is just picks. Quinn Hughes outscored him by a decent margin on the same team and he's a dman who's younger than Norris who's a forward.

Tierney is a 3LC.


It's too bad these trades weren't available when the Canucks were actually good.

San Jose Sharks

Erik Karlsson

If Jones can play well I don't see them losing any earlier than the conference finals

West is looking strong again

Keeping American teams strong, its all part of the plan

On paper they now have the best defence in the league.
