Speculation: 2017-18 Sharks roster discussion II

[The Nemesis]

I liked Kyle Mclarens hipchecks Mike Riccis Grit and Joe Pavelski's clutch in big games. Marleau and Thornton have great numbers in the playoffs, all I said was a side jab at marleau for who I thought needed a change of scenery 8 years ago and theres an entire armada of sharks fans after my head. I really like our chances this playoffs I think having 3 power forwards on separate lines will catch a lot of teams off guard. I think as long as we stay under the radar with Kane until playoffs we could win the cup this year.

I don't put any blame on Marleau or Thornton but on Mclellan, if anybody.

The fact that you don't understand why people are reacting how they are and believe they're "after your head" is.... concerning

Nah that's what happens when there isn't a sharks game the following Saturday. Not concerned at all.

Nah it's what happens when someone says something so ridiculous and also doesn't have the wherewithal to acknowledge said ridiculousness and instead ignores it or doubles down on it.

I've seen your posts bro, you make it your life mission to argument anything. Pathetic.

I mean, just things that are ridiculous.

I know ill have a good laugh when somebody responds to him. He's right there in the front line.

...even more concerning.

Seriously, I read your posts and often it's like you're having a completely different conversation than everyone else. This post is a good example.

I say offer sheet Larkin or Nylander instead of overpaying for Tavares.

 

[Jaleel619]

See that's what happens when you go against Jaleel. badluck

They can't make a competitive offer now that they've traded the 2019 1st to the Sabres for Kane.

 

[hohosaregood]

If Heed was in instead of Vlasic, he would've scored there.

I'd rather overpay for Tavares than overpay for Larkin or Nylander and lose picks in the process.

Offer sheeting basically never works unless you're poaching a mid-tier guy with a massive overpayment.

Seriously, in the last 20ish years there's only been 2 successful offer sheets: Dustin Penner to the Oilers (after they whiffed on Vanek) and Chris Gratton to the Flyers

I'd rather overpay for someone with actual hockey talent. Those two aren't any better than anyone in the Sharks bottom six.

I'm confused...are you really saying Nylander isn't better than Fehr, Karlsson, Goodrow, Sorrenson, Hansen, Ward, etc? That seems legit nuts to me. And I disagree with the original post, I'd much rather overpay for a legit star/1c in Tavares, but Nylander not being able to crack our lineup...really?

Coming from the guy who has basically painted Christian Ehrhoff as one of the worst Sharks ever, it seems about in line with his usual train of thought.

Exactly. An offersheet, in my opinion, is only worth it if you are getting a legit superstar/elite player. Larkin and Nylander are good players but they are not elite. Also, you are going to end up using draft picks as well as overpaying them while they are RFA's.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Absolutely not. You want to give up 2-3 first rounders for players worse than Tavares who we could get for free?

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

There are very little players I would offersheet for, Drai being one of them. But no way we even think about offersheeting Larkin or Nylander, not worth the picks. I'd go hard after Tavares since we actually have the cap space for it once the pending UFAs/some RFAs are let go.

EDIT: Also, I watch a lot of Islanders games on the side, Tavares has pretty much looked checked out in Brooklyn. He's been disinterested and been pretty crappy to boot. Gotta think that being on the Islanders for so long and only winning 1 Playoff Series has to be draining on him.

 

[hohosaregood]

So Steve spott still in charge of the PP? If so, why did he decide to let it be bad again

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[Hinterland]

Please tell me that Wilson waived him

 

[Friday]

Sorry Melker haha but I'm so happy about this
