Michael Pachla: Impressions of, and questions concerning--LW, Conor Sheary

Foist!


I like him for a cheap middle 6 guy.


Suck it beady

He's definitely fine on your 3rd line.

I agree with your viewpoint on Sheary. Great blog as always !

In other news, I think it’s time to put Boldy and Caulfield as serious contenders for us at 7. Both have been remarkable at the U18’s. If Turcotte/Cozens isn’t there I think we should go Boldy. Perfect two way winger with size that we need.

I’d prefer to go Centre but if Turcotte/Cozens/Dach aren’t there then Boldy would be my pick.

Spent a 4th round pick.

Hard to really really criticize him. I like his speed

exactly...maybe a little more consistency in the production dept.

Caulfield Is the answer

Him and Jack could be something special. I just have a tough time not addressing the Centre position. If we draft one of the wingers Botts is going to need to have a plan to get the short term and long term answer at the 2C/3C once Mittelstadt is developed.

Sheary is an almost ideal plug at 3LW, if we lose Skinner he can fit in at 2LW.

No, he really can't.

I don’t want Sheary anywhere near the top 6. I don’t see a playoff team still in the hunt where he’d be in the top 6 either. If he’s on the third line that’s fine with me.

Looking at how Debrincat is fitting in with CHI, I don't see how they look past him if their Center isn't there at 7.

No, he really can't.

So lets say we lose Skinner, who is your top 6 LWs?

Any center you draft isn't stepping in next year anyway.

He needs to address the 2C for next year regardless of who they pick.

I get that. However I’ve never heard a team complain of having too many Centres. I’ve seen a team complain about not having enough though.

Sheary/Erod/Okposo as out 4th line. All 3 of them can slot up in their position if needed. They may not wow anyone, but they can do it.
We need a true #2/Defensive C
We need 2 wingers for said Defensive C
We need 2 wingers for Mitts
We need to sign Skinner
Probably need some change in D
....we're not going to satisfy all that through Rochester.
Housley sucked, but so did the team. Tick tock, Botterill.

He will find someone, if the Panthers really want Panarin, I'd take Hoffman in a heartbeat. Just an example.

Retain $3m with the blues 2020 2nd and dump Okposo

Sheary is perfect for the 3rd line with Mitts as his centerman. Imperative that Botts gets us a 2C this off-season. Mitts can grow into it over the next couple of years. I would target one of Thorton or Pavelski for that interim role on a 2-year contract.

Oops...accidentally flagged you...i know Pavelski is a little long in the tooth but he could be a possible stop gap in that role

Thornton is 40 or will be 41 and will won't leave San Jose, we don't need a 40 yr old stop gap. Come on now.

Do the Joe's want to leave SJ? I had heard that they may want to keep them on board on shorter term deals and that both players love it there.

I'd take either one in a heartbeat.

Thornton looks done to me.
