Confirmed with Link: Sharks acquire Nick Merkley for Christian Jaros (Merkley Signed 2-way, 1yr/$750k)

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Only 3 days later and intentionally vague. It’s like he had 16 teams and 72 hours to choose from.

He specifically had us sending a depth defenseman for a depth forward, and it happened just a few days later.

 

[Hodge]

I'm shocked we got anything for Jaros.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I wouldn’t get my hopes up on Merkley but he could be useful here as another right shot forward that can take draws.

Only 3 days later and intentionally vague. It’s like he had 16 teams and 72 hours to choose from.

If he reveals the trade 3 days ago with the players involved he betrays the trust of his source and loses his connection to him. That would be a poor career choice and tarnishes his reputation.

 

[TheBeard]

Sounds like he’s a pretty good playmaker? I love the one scouting report I read on him which was basically that he isn’t wildly skilled but he works really hard and is constantly passing the puck.

Sounds similar to comedy prospect @TheBeard

Am I in danger of being waived??

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I like the move. Meh for meh

 

[hohosaregood]

So now we're just waiting on the buyout to happen and our 3C acquisition.

So he's the exact opposite of our Merkley

All the Sheng haters where you at

Sharks have always had an interest in Merkley. There were rumors a few years back about him + for Braun. Although, this points to a bad habit of the Sharks focusing in on a guy and forgetting anything else. It isn't like Merkley has improved his stock since then...

It’s an extra for extra trade. This is a nothing trade overall even if both or just Jaros take off.

He played with Rourke Chartier for the Kelowna Rockets. Chartier had a 48 goal season he was a big part of that if i remember correctly.

Nick Merkley was one of the key pieces in the Taylor Hall trade. This could actually be a solid pickup.

yeah I think the hope is they fuse into one mega Merkley

 

[DepressedSharksFan]

Yawn.

Doug Wilson is having a slow start to the offseason.

His star has since faded a lot. He's got the motor to be a good PK 4th line guy. Not a very high skill level

 

[sharks_dynasty]

2nd trade of the year is in the books. Still expecting more to happen.

 

[Hodge]

Kane - Hertl - Barabanov
Meier - Couture - Labanc
Balcers - Cizikas - Nieto
Dahlen - Gambrell - Merkley

Ferraro - Burns
Knyzhov - Karlsson
Simek - Vlasic

Hill
1B

Another bottom five finish coming up (which is honestly preferable to Hill going supernova and getting us the 3rd playoff spot).

 

[one2gamble]

That cizikas signing better not happen

Remember when the Sharks top line was also a line for Team Canada?

hard to evaluate in a pandemic year, let’s see how funny you are next year

 

[OrrNumber4]

Another left-shooting guy as well...Sharks need some RH players...

 

[Lebanezer]

Merkley is right handed. Both of them.

 

[Hodge]

And 4/5ths of their top power play unit were Sharks. Good times.
