With the tear downs in Buffalo and Arizona as well as Anaheim being atrocious as well, there was nothing we were going to feasibly do to be able to tank worse than those teams for Wright/Bedard.
I don’t know exactly what you want or expect to happenI wonder if our gm understands that this isn’t news and that the fans would love to see one of those actual rumors other teams see all the f***ing time.
If for anything else I can’t wait until Doug is gone just so we can have someone who doesn’t have an 18th century concept of communication.
For Vlasic, sure. The Jones contract was going to be given out to basically any GM in the NHL given the way the trajectory looked at the time of his signing. This one is more of an issue of the play falling off a cliff with no advance warning rather than this being a bad contract from the moment it was signed like the Vlasic deal was.Translation: No GM in the league, other than me, is stupid enough to hand those obscene contracts to Jones and Vlasic. So it's buyout or bust.

Sticking on the Reimer, Mrazek, or Bernier train. Mrazek most matches the analytical profile of what they mentioned, but Reimer is probably cheaper and more willing to maybe come back to SJ given the time he had in SJ in 2016. All 3 are good options. Anyone but Holtby is probably a solid option.My guess is that James Reimer is the goalie DW is planning to add after this.
Today is a good day for Sharks fans and therefore the hockey world.
But thanks for all you did Jones. Almost won the team the first cup.

Dubnyk went to a much better system and he still sucked so don't get your hopes up.I'm veryyyyyyyyyyyy curious to see how he does behind a different set of defence and system.
Almost $2 million of dead money against the cap in years where Eklund, Bordeleau, etc.'s ELCs will expire is not good. But hey that's the next GM's problem. Go out there and spend the savings this year on Casey Cizikas Doug!
Dubynk was bad before he came to the Sharks.Dubnyk went to a much better system and he still sucked so don't get your hopes up.
