The Sharks are essentially a heavyweight team that has under-performed this season. They don't need a full rebuild. They need a world class goalie. Something as simple as drafting Askarov this June might be all they need to turn it around.
edit: without a first round pick, it will be difficult to draft Askarov but my point still stands.. a turn around can happen with a few simple moves.
You also have to understand how much is left in the tank for your Vets. A rebuild is inevitable for the Sharks eventually. Same with the Kings, and Same with the Ducks. You don’t want your tank left on empty when Couture, Jumbo Joe, Marleau, and the others vets are nearing retirement or going into retirement.
What’s left when they are declining on the roster? Not much outside of a few players. That’s why getting picks and young prospects while you can makes sense. We’re having the same issues when Getzlaf is gone. That’s why I’m hoping we get a replacement for him ASAP through the draft. I suggest sharks do the same gameplan like the rest of us.
