Lol we got 'em right where we want 'em, boys! Now that 100% of the experts think the Sharks will suck, the Cup is basically in the bag, right?
...Right?

We don't have the collection of early to mid 20s players Vegas did that fueled their inaugural season. Eklund, Zadina, maybe even Kunin and Ferraro are young enough that they could unexpectedly have big years but Vegas had so many more players like that (Karlsson, Smith, Haula, Tuch, Schmidt, Theodore, Miller).I don't like all of this expert analysts saying just how bad this team is going to be. We all know the Sharks do not like doing what the majority of the experts say. Usually do the opposite. Team is the best team in the league, out in round 1 in 5. This just speaks to going on a vegas run without the cup win.
Hockey is fun?Why should I waste my time watching this team if every night is going to be the same thing?

I expect this team to be scrappy and at least fight for a chance to win every night, and I think that's fun in itself.It sounds like it won't be fun this year.
Bettman releases the actual winner of the upcoming lotto every year through one of many media mouth pieces. All the other guesses by media outlets cover his tracks. It's how he obtains payoff from the owner of the team getting 1OA, that's the tricky part...The Hockey News writers know how the ping pong balls will bounce in the lottery?! Quick, tell these guys to buy a Powerball ticket!

Because you're actually a fan of this team...as your name claims?!

100% accurate unfortunately.If Chicago is anywhere near the bottom 5 of the standings next year, i see them winning the lottery again. You know Bedard will need a friend he can play with for the next 15-20 years.

Honestly this Sharks roster might be among the easiest for the statistical models to accurately peg since you know exactly what you're getting from the vast majority of players barring injury.
I like baby seals. Doesn’t mean I want to watch one get clubbed to death every other night.
I’m not going to speak for SJfan39 but I’m personally looking forward to watching this team as the young talent (and future of this team) gets inserted into the lineup. I can tolerate the growing pains as the future of this team is being put on display and it will eventually. Watching a bunch of washed up has beens get throttled by superior teams is not entertaining as a fan. We all know this years team is just on a fast track to a top 2 pick and can only hope some of these “vets” can play themselves into positive value ahead of the TDL.
