Sharks 2019-2020 season done

[hohosaregood]

Mods move this if not appropriate in this thread but I just read an article saying we might have interest in Georgiev at the draft. I know we need to improve our goaltending but please, let's not trade more picks and further mortgage off our future this draft. If the Rangers will take a guy like Labanc I'd probably bite.

I'd like to keep Labanc but I think it's gonan come down to fit. I'm not sure if we're gonna be playing a style that fits in with what Labanc brings. Holistically, I think Labanc meshes with the more open offensive game that New York is playing nowadays. We'll probably end up regretting that trade but I'd be reasonably on board with doing it.

I dont touch Labanc for Georg straight up. Maybe if they add a second rounder or something. I just dont think we can afford to lose our only RH forward because we dont have any replacements, and they wont be that easy to find this offseason.

i haven’t been on the fire DW train at all but if he trades more futures for another f***ing goalie then I’ll be out on the front lines.

Proposal: cancel everything. It's not fair to the lightning that we have their first rounder. So we should return all first rounders too

Arizona would probably second your motion.

Can't see the Rangers valuing Labanc that much given their current roster. I'd rather make an offer for Strome than Georgiev. Any goaltending adds should be through free agency.

I'd rather sign Crawford for one year for a large figure than trade assets for a goalie. It's poor asset management.

I agree about not trading Labanc for Georgiev - but a hard no to Strome. No way.

I agree with this. Next summer I’m sure there will be good goalies that teams won’t be able to easily protect from the expansion draft. If Jones doesn’t have an outstanding year, we will have a protection slot available that we could use to get a good goalie on the cheap.

Team needs forward depth and while I'm not big on Strome either, he'd help the depth by allowing the team to transition Couture to wing which they need to move towards very quickly to not absolutely get murdered by that contract.

I'm not convinced Strome would fare too much better than Couture in that role if he isn't being flanked by Artemi Panarin.

Probably not but they have limited alternatives when it comes to improving their top six.

 

[Internazionale]

Don't think we're still interested in Georgiev. Labanc straight up for him would be horrible, even after the season Labanc had. Big question mark for me is goaltending. I believe Melnichuk will be the starter at some point during the next season. I also wouldn't mind Dell as backup and figuring out a way of just moving on from Jones, somehow, someway. His time has come and gone.

You think Melnichuk will be starting sometime next season? That’s quite optimistic.

A rarity on here, I know.

It was a very rough season, on to the next one.

He has not broken 20 goals in his career (probably would have this season to be fair), and his 41 assists this season was his highest in his NHL career. This compares to 16 in 18-19, 21 in 17-18, 17 in 16-17.

He is a middle six forward IMO, and should not be targeted for a top six role. He has benefitted from playing with Panarin, and we simply do not have a player that can carry him the same way.

And he'd have the benefit of playing with Burns and Karlsson and given the alternatives that may be available, he's better than most. I'd like to have more players that show they can play with elite talent. We don't have a lot of that now.

I like Hockey but I really have no interest in the playoffs this year. Hopefully MLB can come back and I can watch the Giants and A’s

 

[FunkyPhin]

Sharks getting jackshit this season was completely deserved what an abomination of a season. It'll be interesting to see what DW does at the draft and off-season, few players that I would want to shed moving forward.

This 24 team playoff is a joke as well, trying to finish the rest of the season amidst a pandemic, where it only takes a few people to contract the virus to completely de-rail the whole thing is ridiculous. But they must have it all figured out.

Don't count on it. They're arguing over $$.

 

[Bowie22]

Go Pens

Go Pens

I hate the Pens more than any other team by far, but I'll root for them for Patty.

Well, also the pick is upgraded from 3rd round to 2nd round if they win the cup.

Yeah, it made me pessimistic about the season after reading about that today.
