Even after Blake gave vote of confidence last week?




Haha

With Couture they’re never losing again obviously

Trade him now.

2-0 in the Logan Couture era.

It’s happening. Bye-bye dead last.

 

[Hodge]

We need to trade Kahkonen ASAP.

For real, Taanko has been nowhere to be seen lately. It’s weird and I don’t like it.

Do you think he's actually good now? I remember our new goalie coach supposedly reinvented his playing style late last season. Maybe it worked?

Regardless I'll take a 3rd or even 4th round pick for him. We can't have him stealing games and f***ing over our draft position down the stretch.

Possibly. His save percentage for the season is right around Vasilevsky, Oettinger, Shersterkin, and Saros, and that’s taking into account his awful start.

I wonder if we might be able to get an actually decent asset for him, considering how many teams need goaltender… Grier will have to present him in the right way, but maybe it’s possible. After all, Hill is leading the league in save percentage.

Carolina and New Jersey are probably the two main targets to offload a goalie to. They seem like the only teams where their goalies are letting their teams down. There are a few other teams like Toronto, Edmonton, and Colorado who don't have good goaltending but they're winning with who they have.

People would trade Kahkonen and not Blackwood? I would think Blackwood has the greater value.

At this stage of his career, Couture feels incredibly fresh and I wonder if he would be willing to waive the NTC and go to a contending team. The Sharks are going nowhere and it's obvious Couture has provided a spark for this team the last two games. Maybe he would want to do that and add a playoff run on top as well.

He showed up at about the 6 minute mark left in the third yesterday when he decided to enter the home run derby clearing the puck.

I wonder if a deal around Kahkonen or Blackwood with NJ could be a late pick and removal of the conditions of their 24 1st.

Would guarantee a first as a return for the Sharks but only cost NJ the difference between their 1st and 2nd.

I would be surprised if they took another crack at Blackwood. Maybe Kahkonen, and maybe this deal is possible if they're still in a wildcard spot in 5 weeks...is it enough value for us though?

It would be frustrating if they went on a run to go to the ECF but it might be worth it to guarantee a 1st which would give the Sharks 4 picks in the top 35.

Also Tanko could come back and the Sharks could get a top 15 pick. There is upside for the sharks and NJ wouldn’t even have to give up anything additional.

mmmmm if they have to win it's nice to beat L.A.!!!
