Good deal, espcially since McGinn likely wasn't in our future plans. Also good to get a 3rd back to replace the one we are missing

McGinn's time had come when Akeson supplanted him for the playoffs. Good asset management by Hextall.

And as I expertly alluded to in another post – not to say that I'm an insider or anything – but Blair Jones is sorta kinda like McGinn.





Do I really need to put a :sarcasm: for the first part of this?

Nice. He was not making the roster and we get an asset.

I like revenge offersheets! :laugh:

Things I like about Tye McGinn:

Has a great work ethic.

Will do anything for the team. (even something stupid.)

Habit of being in right place at right time.

His signature backhand EN goal.

Has a great jawline... if his NHL career fails he can be a Batman impersonator. Shame his jaw is not as good in practice as on paper.

Really? I can't believe someone would offer sheet someone like McGinn. Then again, the Sharks just signed John Scott so I guess it's not that crazy.

It was posted on the Sharks board. Can not find it on twitter so I guess on the radio/TV it was said?

sharks gave up a 2nd for manbearpig so they have very odd values for 3rd liners. THis reminds me of the powe trade, thought i see powe as having much more value but less upside than mcginn.

Yeah I think they're pretty high on Brandon Alderson as well. He can do a lot of the big body stuff as well plus he's a better skater than McGinn.

With our cap situation, it'd be nice if he has a good enough camp to win a 4th line spot. A nice cheap contract.
