Sharks will come back next year.
A lot since coming out of the ASG/bye weeks, all the time off and then being expected to ramp it right back up is terrible for their bodies
Idk, they dont have a goalie and with their already limited cap space.. I dont see how they can possibly upgrade on Jones with his contract in the way
I think the bye weeks are doing more harm than good, especially tying the Bye weeks to the All Star Game so you have a week and a half to two weeks off. I would do away with bye weeks let teams have more time off as the season goes, somehow.
Would be bat**** crazy if Ottawa ends up with the #1 and #2 picks.
Old guard needs to be on the way out.That team desperately needs to move on from Thornton and get a fresh start via a few re-tooling trades.
Couture, Hertl, Meier, Labanc is a respectable forward core to build around but they'll need to draft well. That Karlsson trade really backfired and it will set them back.

Has that ever happened in any major sport ever?
organically I don’t think so but Burke did get the number 2 and 3 picks to draft the Sedins. I think that was a draft day trade though.
The worst NHL season of his career. SJ better pray it's a one off because this could be shaping up to be one of the worst contracts in the league.

Move on from Jumbo, Marleau, Pickles and Burns.
Build with the forwards you mentioned and Karlsson on D, who by all accounts is a great lockeroom presence and would provide better mentor ship than BB imo.
