The Nemesis

obviously. What did you think I meant?
I just wanted to make sure you weren't delusional or lying to yourself. I don't like to watch people suffering. Unless I'm the cause.
obviously. What did you think I meant?
I mean the team has been arguably better without Couture and Hertl, this is obviously just going to make us get even stronger.
Sharks are going to rally around each other, go on a 15 game win streak, get into the playoffs and somehow win the Cup with Barclay Goodrow as our #1 center. Doug will then trade him before the draft for the 1st overall pick.
also I have a pretty bad sinus infection so my thinking may be impaired
Thats a funny way of saying snorting something!
I wonder how Ottawa fans feel about Karlsson nowadays? I feel like there must be a large contingency that gloats over anything bad that happens to Karlsson's career.
But why bring him back, it's pointlessI wonder what the actual injury looks like. Must be bad because a simple break should allow him to come back for the last few games. If he's having surgery though it must be awful.
To a fan sure. But players like to play and you want to be there for your teammates. I broke my big toe in a tournament played the remaining games because I love playing and I didn't want to leave my team short handed and I'm not even getting paid. But that wasn't even the point of my post. It's that it must be pretty bad. Much worse than a simple break.But why bring him back, it's pointless
Trade Jones for a 2nd.
I don't hate most of what you've done but I don't think it's realistic. Burns brings more than a 1st, Scheifele isn't worth an additional 1st along with Couture. Considering Coutures playoffs I'm not sure this isn't a 1 for 1. Not sure why 'Peg makes that trade for the older player though. UFAs are going to be reluctant to sign in SJ due to taxes and a lack of LA. Would love to add the guys you said but there is just no way this many moves actually happen. Sharks "might" get rid of one of Jones, Vlasic or Burns but I have trouble believing all 3. Adding 5 UFAs is a pipe dream too. Especially 3 of the top UFAs. Dillon and Heed aren't going to be Sharks next season and I really like Dillon and prefer keeping him at this point over Vlasic and maybe even burns long term.I'll take a stab at making SJ a contender again next season. Trying to make it semi-realistic.
Flame away.
Burns (3 team list) traded for a 1st in 2021.
Couture + 1st (from Burns') + 1st for Scheifele.
Sign Pietrangelo as UFA for 10.5 mill.
Trade Jones for a 2nd.
Sign Lehner as UFA for 6.0 mill.
Trade Vlasic for young B+ level prospect
Sign Hall as UFA for 8.5 mill
Sign Armia as UFA for 2.5 mill.
Sign Eric Staal as UFA for 3.5 mill.

Is anyone from the Cuda worth giving a shot? Roy maybe?
