IDK if it's worse that CISCO couldn't even get that right, or that CISCO didn't pull the plug immediately lol
Confirmed with Link: Wild trade Addison to Sharks? Yes, for 2026 5th, Raska

I get having webcam video, but I just don't understand how the audio was always so bad.
(Btw, the Warriors and presumably/possibly the baseball teams had some brief segments like that too.)

You should watch the pre- and post-game shows then!
I remember around that same time my wife had to use Webex for some stuff and she was always complaining about how crap it was compared to Zoom and I couldn't help but think of those segments on Sharks games.

Grier's continued purge of the DW prospect pipeline is kinda funny.

It really is because DW was the reason that Grier was on the Sharks but now he is purging the team of DW acquired talent because he thinks they are no good.

He's probably excited knowing that he'll be the best defenseman on this team

Honestly, because he wasn't a top 4 D this year and we are having all kinds of problems solving our D issues. Addison just wasn't working this year and Faber has stepped up huge for the Wild at D and he looks very offensive minded. Plus, the Wild are getting Spurgeon back (Probably Sat.). Yeah, he was on the #1 PP but we have one of the worst PP this year. If Addy turns it around with new scenery you guys will be golden. He is only making 825k a year and is a RFA after the season. Hope it works out for him because I don't think he was having any fun in MN. Good luck tonight against the Oilers.

I dislike this statement. This kids time was dwindling in Minnesota. He’s coming to a team that desperately needs his talent. That is exciting enough for him and he’s probably sincere about that.

He looked solid last night. Definitely helped with puck movement and control on breakouts and break-ins, and saw him make some defensive plays that you need your D to make. Net positive and in my opinion a very solid move by Grier.

Been really checked out of hockey the last week but I like this acquisition a lot. Just feed this kid as much ice time as he can handle and see what happens.

It's sort of the ideal trade for a team in the Sharks' position to be making. He's not like a super-high upside player, but that's not realistic for this kind of return. But for this kind of return, the chance that you're getting a guy who can be a PP quarterback and 3rd pairing, maybe 2nd pairing puck-moving defenseman for basically nothing?
Massive win for Grier no matter how it turns out because there's basically zero risk.

I wouldn't bet on it. I think there's a fair question of whether or not newly-acquired Jack Thompson can be better than Addison within the next year as a more responsible defensively, offensively-minded right-shooting d-man.
And if all three of Benning, Burroughs, and Ruuta are back next season, along with Emberson, the competition for a spot is even tougher for Addison (which isn't saying much since those guys are all quite iffy and really just bottom-pairing defenders).
