Puck Daddy has had us the losers of every TDL and Draft for the past couple of seasons. Hasn't slowed us down so far.

I stopped reading that clown's work a while ago.

I think the LA loss tweaked Puck Daddy's brain more than DW's.

Those guys are jokes. Can't take anything they write seriously.

I think Sean Leahy seems to strangely defends the Sharks whenever he can.

Marek v Wysh is still a good podcast but I don't read the blog

Lol that article was really bad. Good rebuttal.

 

[ScottyDont]

I also like how there's no comment on anyone we traded at the draft... You know, the main reason the event is being held... Not trading for goalies

 

[Evil Janney]

Just dumb. I mean has the season started already? Did San Jose HAVE to have a goalie during Draft weekend? For a headline named 'Winners and Losers of the 2015 Draft' there's not a single mention regarding any of San Jose's draft picks!

Ditto.

Good rebuttal LS.

I like the response as well LS.

I am not sure why there are people who fail to realize that the draft day isn't a trade deadline. The wheeling and dealing is just starting and will continue while teams continue to pursue FA's. Failure or success in the FA signings will result in more trade deals as well.

The draft day should be gauged on the picks that were made by the team. What was the quality of the picks? Did it address the teams future needs? Build on depth in the organization? I think we did all of that in this draft. Plus the kids are 18 years old, no one will know how they end up being atleast 2-3 years down the line.

I am going to watch and see how DW goes about getting us a goalie and top-4 D-man before pre-season. I would be lying if I said that the team is very close to being a playoff team this year. Edmonton has made moves to become a playoff team. Calgary just got better. We are no longer guaranteed to make the playoffs in the West anymore. The moves DW makes between now and the start of the season will really tell us a lot about his expectations this year.

Didn't know you could win/lose a draft 2 days after it happened.

 

[Hold the Pickles]

Didn't know you could win/lose a draft 2 days after it happened.

I didn't think so either, but then there's Boston.

 

[SactoShark]

Didn't know you could win/lose a draft 2 days after it happened.

Especially if you draft consensus top-12 and top-30 picks in the first two rounds.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The best part was then later in the article they mentioned the teams that traded goalies as losers. So, apparently the Sharks are losers for waiting it out and sifting through what's left (likely at a lesser trade value), and the teams that traded goalies are losers.

Guess you can have it both ways.

 

[Bizz]

we dumped Niemi. no matter what happens we upgraded our Goaltending by default.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Sharks added two top prospects and depth in all positions. They even got a pick for Niemi.
Puck daddy? More like suck daddy.

 

[Winky]

Who really cares.

FWIW, they gave the Sharks a B- on their drafting.
