Rumor: Tierney, Boedker available (and Martin)

[Juxtaposer]

That's all Joonas Donskoi, man.

 

[Munnyro]

I hope they don't trade Tierney. He's getting better each season and finally being consistent.

 

[Lebanezer]

That's all Joonas Donskoi, man.

Shhhh, no one will figure it out.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

That's all Joonas Donskoi, man.

Donskoi has been phenomenal this year. Easily one of the top 3 forwards, if not the best.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Yeah, he conveniently ignored the fact that Tierney has been a part of one line (without Donskoi) that has been bad and Donskoi has been a part of one line (without Tierney) that has been elite.

However, he probably posted that because Tierney is widely known amongst stats junkies as a possession anchor, and he was shocked to see him doing well.

 

[hohosaregood]

I'm pretty sure he only mentioned it because they share last names.

Is he? I thought everyone was saying he’s done well as 3C this year, and how they hope he’s not going to be traded. I will say it was a bit surprising to see his zone % as 60-40 off-def. He’s sheltered?

Tierney was real bad the last couple of years but he’s been quite good this year, enough to convince me that he’s a permanent solution to the 3C spot.

Tierney's been really good the last couple of years....

He's only been really good this season. He wasn't really good last year. He was pretty mediocre.

I think a lot of us are surprised by the Sharks' performance so far this season. I don't know if this will last, but it certainly looks like they may be looking to load up for a playoff run, rather than sell for a tank like some of us expected. Biggest need is definitely a top-6 scoring winger. Tierney, Boedker, and Martin aren't going to get you one of those. So, who do you think the Sharks should target, and what would you give up? Or is this all a mirage and the Sharks will be out of the hunt by the TDL?

One of the beat writers suggested Ryan might be the guy moved.

[Vaasa]

Not saying I agree. Just providing a response. It showed up on Yahoo. I think the source was the Merc.

 

[Coily]

I believe the phrase "steal from Peter to pay Paul" would work for a trade moving Ryan to get a top 6 forward.

Smh.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Smh.

Yeah that was Gackle saying like it or not it'd be Ryan traded to get scoring help up front. Problem is that Gackle doesn't get that Ryan would only be moved for a scoring upgrade that is a long term answer and the longer the season goes the less likely something like that occurs. I think the Sharks have more of a chance renting someone like Evander Kane over trading Joakim Ryan for a long-term solution at this stage.

 

[AgentCooper]

I think Gackle is a pretty good reporter, but some of his trade/roster improvement ideas are just terrible.

 

[hohosaregood]

Gackle usually tries to make a story out of things. Like he'll make quotes out of context or add attitudes to quotes that aren't true. I hate it.

So he is just like 95% of the media in the world.

Or he could be like the other 5% like Pashelka who is like an audio recorder.

 

[zombie kopitar]

I had a dream last night that we traded Braun and Tierny for Eberle and a pick. Take it with a grain of salt but I'd put it at an E5.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I have a strong feeling it's gonna be Evander Kane.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I highly doubt it to be honest. He doesn't seem like a DW type player.

 

[Munnyro]

I dunno DW likes project players with potential. You could probably get Kane for cheap. He's stock but he's got decent stats this year.
