Confirmed with Link: EK65 and Perron to Sharks for Tierney, DeMelo, Norris, Balcers and picks

[The Nemesis]

I can't remember the last time a non-GDT, non-evergreen thread made it to 1000 posts.

As sad as it is, re-implemented HF policy on thread limits means that I'm going to have to lock this up and make a sequel thread in a couple minutes. Yes it will be stuck and it will include a link back to this one.

Demelo and Tierney sound fine, Balcers doesn’t seem so happy. Sorry Nem.

Thanks for reminding me the last time I got this attached to a prospect.

I guess I'll just have to drown my prospect sorrows in Joachim Blichfeld (which my phone autocorrect and autocomplete recognizes as an option) and whoever drafts Bowen Byram next summer.

But hey, Karlsson!

Pairing Karlsson with anyone other than Vlasic at even strength would be typical DeBoer stupidity. Doug Wilson needs to step in if that happens. Braun has been garbage for two years and one of the biggest value adds of acquiring Karlsson is relegating Braun to the third pairing.

I would argue that Braun isn't entirely garbage though. He was set up to look like garbage by Dumboer's ridiculous deployments of the 44-61 pairing.

There simply aren’t enough minutes available to justify not playing Karlsson with Vlasic. Braun and Dillon should be around 12-15 minutes. Ryan 16-18, Vlasic 21-22, Burns 23-25, Karlsson 25+.

I mean. I feel like maybe its hard to say what the best setup is. On paper it looks like itll be perfect but karlsson may need a dillon type or hell ryan may be the way to go.

My issue is that braun, while good, cant play his off side as well as dillon and may be surplus now.

I think as long as vlasic braun isnt a thing we will be fine. Youll see one of karlsson burns or vlasic on the ice and ryan dillon amd braun mopping up.

With Hansen and Boedker gone, the new Sharks Danish Mafia is now up to him and Alex True (who I also like but am far more hesitant on predicting any sort of NHL viability)

also new thread will be up after I get something to eat.

gotta wonder what patty marleau is thinkin right now

Marleau is in a good situation. I would think an honest "good for them" would be about the extent of his thoughts on the matter.

So I do think Doug is an upstanding guy. I don’t think he would have moved players into a bad situation, and I actually don’t think this is a bad situation for either of those guys. As evidenced by his request for salary arbitration, Tierney was obviously feeling the pressure of San Jose’s center depth. He is a great player, but it’s hard being behind Jumbo, Pavelski, Couture, Hertl, and still trying to make a name for yourself. I think he did admirably with the role he was given, but the truth is he was never going to be more than a 3c in San Jose. I really think this trade gives him some runway in terms of really having an opportunity to improve his game, get more ice time and really make a career for himself. He is still young and with the route Ottawa is going, committed to this rebuild, he is being given a chance to really stand out and be a big part of their future.

I’m gonna laugh of the SCF comes down to Toronto vs San Jose this year. Wouldn’t even be as crazy as Vegas making it last year given the offseason both those teams have had.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Well, if there’s anything to be said for Tierney and DeMelo, they’ll get way more opportunity to move up Ottawa’s depth chart than they ever would get in SJ. While remote, I think Tierney still has a chance of being a 2nd line C now that the room is there.

Seems like a reasonable possibility.

Sharks have 3 of the best defensemen in the league now and 3 very good role players, they could basically throw the defense into a blender and it'll come out fine regardless of the outcome.
