I actually laughed out loud.

1 goal. You have to crawl before you walk.

And a few years from now, you can skate.

I can score and i can skate! I no wanna play for the Sharkies as i'm to old,
the average would jump to 48! LoL

It's like two 3rd lines, a 4th line, and an AHL line.

Remember that time that DW didn't sign Marleau and now he's literally our top line RW

its sad to think that at one point in the playoffs last year we rolled out a lineup of:

Nyquist-Couture-Meier
Pavelski-Hertl-Kane
Labanc-Jumbo-Sorensen
Melker-Goodrow-Donskoi

I hate Deboer more and more every time I think about how he almost lead that lineup to a first round exit.

Where is Haley

 

[WSS11]

Where is Haley

you’re right, sorry Levie. I almost forgot that bald dumbass benched Donskoi for Haley

 

[Nighthock]

 

[Dicdonya]

Now all we need to do is actually convince some silly GM that Goodrow actually is a 1st line center and get assets accordingly!

Edit- Oh and poor True, having to make his debut saddled with Melker. Give the guy Gambrell at least so that line has a shot at scoring

It's all fun n games until you hear who's starting it net next game . . .

That lineup looks pretty skilled. But when it comes to skating, grit and size not so much. I think thats one of the main reasons why they struggled against vegas two years in row.
Two speedy guys with Kane and Nyquist but after that its a mixture of bad skating and below average speed.

Interesting take. I’ve always felt that Donskoi, Sorensen, and Timo are above average skaters with decent speed.

Pre $6m I would agree with you on Meier.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Meier is definitely above average in skating including speed. Donskoi is probably average in skating speed but above average in other elements of skating. He's very elusive. Sorensen has average speed at best but nothing really standing out and it seems like it's only declining now.

Agreed on the current state of Sorensen. I feel like he was the fastest guy on the team in his first season. Maybe I’m misremembering.

 

[Used As A Shield]

Agreed on the current state of Sorensen. I feel like he was the fastest guy on the team in his first season. Maybe I’m misremembering.

He was fast, but he also played fearlessly and was able to play the body and get inside the slot well for someone his size.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

He had bursts of speed but overall I didn't see him stand out from the average NHL'er. Every NHL'er on average has that burst of speed when the adrenaline kicks in that they may have an opportunity in front of them.

He was fast, but he also played fearlessly and was able to play the body and get inside the slot well for someone his size.

I think the physicality of the league has worn him out a bit.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

He was fast, but he also played fearlessly and was able to play the body and get inside the slot well for someone his size.

I think he felt faster than he was because he was engaged. He would actively finish checks and forecheck hard. This year it seems like he just peels off and avoids contact.

Meier has looked like that for most of this season too. But he is much more skilled than Sorensen so still looks considerably better.

I'm not one for over-reliance on toughness or grit, but the whole team has basically become allergic to playing physical whatsoever. We see it sometimes from Kane and Goodrow. And I guess it makes sense, seeing how the whole roster turned into glass over the course of a year or two.

After we lost to Pittsburgh in the Finals, Doug Wilson and the front office became obsessed with this nebulous concept of speed. We completely moved away from our puck possession identity. We used to be this big, gritty team that would hold onto the puck. Now we are much more an Eastern style transition team.

You need to innovate to win, not just chase the meta.

Guess they don't want extra forward on roster?

He must be close to being waiver eligible, probably why he hasn’t been playing

21 more games left.

That’s weird then

It isn't though. It is 100% a cap savings move. The sharks dont play until monday. 3 days of money saving by sending a player who should not be on the roster any ways.
