Speculation: 2020-2021: Sharks Roster Discussion Part 2 - Offseason

[OrrNumber4]

Carolina had an incredibly deep team. They didn't have a lot of high-end talent, but they had plenty of veterans (including a few who were on the 2002 SCF team), plus Cam Ward having one of the best goalie performances of all-time.

Carolina had a great foundation in Eric Staal and Cam Ward.

And sharks color guy Heidcon on D.

What if the Sharks traded their bad players for good ones. I think that would improve the team.

That would be pretty cool I think

But maybe. What if we do the opposite!

WWKD - What would Kurz do?

 

[Gecklund]

Bobby Ryan being bought out. Man I’d love to add him to our third line on the cheap. Sign him and Dadanov and our forwards look a lot better instantly.

Meier-Couture-Dadanov
Kane-Hertl-Gregor
Ryan-Thornton-Labanc
Bergmann-Handemark-Kellman

Hertl for Richards straight up

Wennberg might get bought out too. Could be another low value target

 

[Alaskanice]

I’d like Ryan in a teal sweater. I believe he’d fit here.

 

[Gecklund]

Wennberg might get bought out too. Could be another low value target

The only thing Wennberg has on Jumbo is speed and age. Jumbo is better in every aspect. I’d rather play Gambrell at C than sign Wennberg. Not a good player at all.

I wonder if he had a good relationship with Karlsson. If so, he'd be a good target and probably willing to take a discount to play on a team that will give him opportunity to shine and cash in one last time

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

Seems like exactly the kind of move DW should make. Take a gamble on a middle six winger on a cheap contract. If they can get him on a 2x3 or something, that would be a perfect fit.

He hasn't been great the last couple years but I feel like he's a good buy low candidate

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah. I don't see why not. I mean if its a 1-2 year deal, we should do it for sure. Its not like this team is abundant in top-9 F prospects.

 

[Lebanezer]

That's horrendous.

 

[Levie]

That's horrendous.

Burns has a lot of value after all if Petry is worth $6.25m

 

[weastern bias]

That's horrendous.

It's not too bad of a number, it's just too long

The Edmundson contract, however, is terrible, that guy was never good and made bank because he was the #6 D on a championship team

 

[Lebanezer]

I can't imagine paying a #3 or 4 defenseman 6.25 million dollars for 4 years from ages 33-37. Particularly given the cap situation due to the pandemic.

I just saw the headline "4 x 6.25 for Petry" and went, 'Thats not a bad deal for Petro'. Then I saw it was Jeff Petry and am wondering what the hell that means for the likes of Pietrangelo.

Bobby Ryan could be a tight middle 6 guy if he signs for under 2M

 

[weastern bias]

We don't have to imagine it, we have Vlasic on the roster

Petry is a really over qualified 2nd pair D, he's like a 2.5 Dman, he can play top pair in a pinch and not look out of place, and he was the best skater for MTL in the Pittsburgh series

I just saw the headline "4 x 6.25 for Petry" and went, 'Thats not a bad deal for Petro'. Then I saw it was Jeff Petry and am wondering what the hell that means for the likes of Pietrangelo.

Pietrangelo was always gonna get super overpaid by virtue of being the best player in this UFA class, I don't think the Petry deal moves the needle on him too much

Thank goodness, a Jones or Vlasic buyout penalty would be a nightmare

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Bobby Ryan could be a tight middle 6 guy if he signs for under 2M

I think the main concern with him is injury more than anything else. He would be solid even for 3M as long as he can play out 70+ games.

 

[hohosaregood]

Craig Smith hitting FA too. If DW could get his hands on 2 of Smith, Wennberg, Ryan, or Dadonov then that would be a pretty successful off-season. The price is the only issue but I think you could get them at a reasonable rate.
