No. I give up... just like this team.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Well with the exception of not trading Thornton, we did great. DW turned a 4th liner into a 1st round pick somehow. Good day overall.

 

[Coily]

My off-season wish list is a 2nd line RW (not Marleau); a 3rd line center (not Thornton); and a 5th-6th dman (not Prout).

Then figure out the goalies.

Jumbo is back to being a 1c
Gotta think Patty will be back next season
Was surprised Goodrow was traded. Nice return there

I've been liking Gregor's game. He's got speed and grit and has at least been getting the puck in the general direction of the net...

If you put a 4th line of Gregor/Bergmann-True-Noesen together for next year, I would be good with it assuming the 3rd line had some additional scoring punch. Would really like to find a 3C that is not Jumbo that can get up and down the ice and play with pace while also being a good PKer. My only fear with Goodrow gone is that it may all but guarantee that Melker is back next year to anchor the PK.

I feel good about being able to address the 1-2 RW position in the top 6 with a FA (Toffoli or similar) and trade. I also feel pretty good with the young guys being able to drum up a decent 4th line. My main fear now shifts to the 3rd line and whether that is going to be another old man line of Marleau-Thornton or if we can cut bait and get younger and faster there with someone like Haula or a trade chip.

Kane-Couture-Toffoli?
Meier-Hertl-??
??-??-Labanc
Gregor/Bergmann-True-Noesen

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

So roster for tomorrow, assuming no Couture and Melker.

Meier-Thornton-Labanc
Kane-Suomela-Gambrell
Sorensen-Kellman-Noesen
Gregor-True-Blichfeld

I think everyone but Blichfeld is most likely going to be on the roster, maybe just in a different spot. Not sure if the 12th forward is going to be Blichfeld, Letunov or someone else.

 

[Mafoofoo]

If there were offers for Jumbo from cup contenders and DW held out for slightly higher picks that’s pretty messed up

 

[Levie]

Are we pretty confident some big trades are going to happen in the draft?

Yeah, assuming he stay healthy, he'll be too close to Howe's record to retire.

Needs to happen, for sure. Will happen, we will see.

 

[themelkman]

Doug keeps saying hes collecting assets for the near future. Makes me feel like hes gonna trade picks for players this summer

Yeah. I am betting on the Sharks walking away with one new prospect out of the first 3 picks they currently have in the 2020 1st and 2nd rounds. It could be more depending on his ability to make a draft day trade of Burns or Vlasic.

 

[Dicdonya]

Whelp, gotta give credit to DW for getting a first for Goodrow.

Other then that, quite a ho-hum trade deadline, and if it comes out true that he had offers for Thornton from teams Thornton was willing to go to, but held out for better assets, f*** him. Thornton deserves a shot at the cup, and any asset for a 40 yo upcoming UFA is better than no asset and him leaving in the offseason to chase a cup.

For now though I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that situation, and assume no one offered anything for Thornton from whatever teams Thornton was willing to go to.

Really wish he would have traded Sorenson, Melker and Dell, but those were long shots given what I assume their value is.

Gunna be interesting the rest of the year, I actually like the idea of having a really young team right now. We can really get some extended looks at our prospects and see who is actually worth keeping by next year.

Well guess now it’s time to start speculating on draft day moves.

Regarding a potential Melker deal, The Kurz reports: “Melker Karlsson’s lower body injury — he’s still hobbling around in a walking boot after blocking a shot last Thursday in New Jersey — prevented Wilson from dealing the pending free-agent forward. “Melker, I probably would have explored something, but his injury probably prohibited that,” Wilson said.”

What happened, what we're hearing and what's next for the... PAYWALL

Damnit Melker

Mirco Mueller strikes again. As if he was not bad enough as a player...

I hate Mirco Mueller and his dumb smug face

 

[weastern bias]

Lol, what roster?

Watch DWs post trade deadline interview. He said that both Patty and Joe were very involved in the trade discussions. For whatever reason, Jumbo decided not to go.

I wonder what those other offers were. Maybe Edmonton was offering a 2nd-rounder?

 

[Kegsey]

Yeah. I am betting on the Sharks walking away with one new prospect out of the first 3 picks they currently have in the 2020 1st and 2nd rounds. It could be more depending on his ability to make a draft day trade of Burns or Vlasic.

I really don’t think DW will even entertain trading Burns. He is so flexible in some ways but so stubborn in others and we all know he expects to contend next year and he thinks having Burns and Karlsson are the way to do it.
