Speculation: Sharks 2015 Rumors/Trade Proposals/Lineup Talk Thread ‎Part V: Offseason Edition

[Nolan11]

I think we also came to the conclusion that Couture's NTC is not active as you can't have an NTC unless you are UFA status and that doesn't happen for him until next year.

I believe Couture's NTC kicks in on July 1, 2016.
Braun did not show any clause in capgeek.
From memory, Burns, Pavelski and Vlasic all had some form of "Limited" NTC, details of the clauses unknown. Jumbo Patty have full NMC.

So, if DW won't approach players to waive, then our trade chips are Braun, Couture and maybe Wingels, and completely unknown as to out clauses for Burns, Pavs and Pickles.

Personally I have zero interest in seeing Nemo back in teal next year. Time for a change.

I agree, I have zero interest in seeing Niemi play another game as a Shark

My interest in replacing him with Ramo (or any goalie of similar stature) for more money and more years is less than zero

I believe we may see Niemi in teal next year for reasons mostly related to cost

He won't be the best option for the team, however the org may see him as the best/cheapest/safest option

 

[Barrie22]

Niemi needs to stay if he is the best and cheapest available.

Niemi needs to go if there is any one available that is cheaper and or better.

What the sharks do not need to do is sign/trade for just any goalie. Either that goalie is better now or that goalie has the potential to be the next price.

I have no interest in keeping Nemo, but I have no interest in Ramo either. Or Enroth for that matter. I would rather try for Talbot, see if Bernier is available, or even start the year out with just Stalock and Groesnick and see who might end up on waivers or who is made available for a cheap trade if a young goalie somewhere surprises.

Agree with this. Dubnyk 2.0

My wishlist for the summer (in no particular order):

Trade for/ sign a young, potential goaltender - sounds like there should be "plenty of" available. Niemi... ehh, sign him to a year gig anyways, maybe.

During draft, acquire some top-90 picks, hell any picks. I'm really liking this draft. Even if that acquiring means...

...Trading some of our "good" roster players & vets - numbers 19, 12, 8, 88... love them but we need to think of the future. Not saying all of them need to be gone, nope, you need some vets. But 39, 44 etc. need to grow into those veteran roles too. Get picks, young players, prospects in exchange. Even take cap dumps if it requires that.

A new coaching staff obviously. I don't know what or whom - just get a coaching staff, but not just some bums off the street. Thanks.

Name a CAPTAIN. A team needs that captain. If Pavs stays, it should be him. Just my opinion. If not, then... I don't know. But we need that player who carries the C.

Quite obvious but hey that's what I want. Possibly missed something but feel free to comment and add.

 

[DatDude44]

U guys interested in Elliott or Lundstrom? lol

 

[T0uGh C0oki3]

U guys interested in Elliott or Lundstrom? lol

In a polite way, No.

 

[Sharksrule04]

U guys interested in Elliott or Lundstrom? lol

Absolutely not to Elliott. Don't know much about Lundstrom, but hard pass on Elliott.

I can't defend Wilson if that's true.

 

[Irbes Mask]

I can't defend Wilson if that's true.

Won't someone think of Eriah Hayes??

 

[hohosaregood]

Sure, why not. Scott brings a strange amount of entertainment and joy to the team.

I don't really have an issue with bringing Scott back. People need to stop freaking out about these things. He'll play 20-25 games, and provide a great locker room personality while taking very little in the form of $$. GET OVER THE MINOR DEALS!

 

[Helistin]

GM's talk with player agents? Madness! DW should be fired for planning to talk to Scott's agent.

Exactly...I feel like I'm in South Park sometimes on this message board.

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!

I have an issue with the minor deals when they're a cap team going for it like they had done in the past. Now that they're not a cap team tentatively, these deals don't matter much.

John Scott 4 Lyf

Scott for captain

Scott for HC

Scott for GM

Replace SJ Sharke as mascot with John Scott

 

[SactoShark]

Hasso did mention they are a 4th line and a defensman away from being a good team.

Scott is both.

Done.

[magic school bus]

Not a big deal since nobody will try to sign John Scott except us

 

[Los Tiburones]

Chances DW gives Scott 3 years, $2M per now that he's proven himself?

 

[hockeyball]

Honestly, Scott was fine in his VERY limited roll. I thought he was better on the ice than Brown, which is sad. Scott isn't slow, throws hits, and who expected him to get a goal, let alone 3.

As much as I bagged on the guy, he probably deserves to be re-signed.

 

[Bowie22]

I don't mind it either way. I'm not going to pretend to be surprised if we do resign him...

He doesn't have a Cup ring, so no...
