The good news for non season ticket holders is the secondary market has crashed and you can get very good seats for very little money.

Is this the least fun sharks team to watch in franchise history? Pretty much and I've watched a lot of Sharks Hockey since 1991 |

Is this the least fun sharks team to watch in franchise history? First season I have specifically not watched numerous games. Record it, check the score and delete without watching. |

DW got caught trying to do a very difficult thing. Keeping a window open for a very long time is just not easy. The problem is the other teams that did this win cups and that includes the two other California teams. Being a competitive team for this long is commendable but ultimately the final goal was not achieved.

HNIC broadcast team is flabergasted at how shit the Sharks look. Like, not even shitting on them, just shocked at the flat play.

Don't forget the new tough guy in Thornton, throws a left jab then hides behind the Ref. This whole team is a joke & it's on Wilson. Hopefully next year there are changes starting in the front office & drafting dept |

Same here...sometimes it makes me feel like a bad fan, but do you have to be a good fan when the team is this bad and they’re doing nothing to improve? |

No. In fact I think a good fan is one who isn’t going to support a lousy product. I’ll never root for another team but the Sharks but after a disaster offseason that looks like has doomed the future as well as the present and a whole half season of indifferent play I am really not following this team. No different than not returning to a restaurant after a poor experience. I’ll come back when things have changed. At this point, if you aren’t happy with how this team is going, you basically are required to stop going, stop watching, and stop following. It’s your only course of action against an organization that wants/needs you. |

Is it too early to begin the armchair GM stuff? The forward FA pool for next season doesn't look too terrible if the goal is to simply get guys that can actually play to a middle 6 level and start plugging that gap.
Goalie and Defense is a much bigger mess.
To me I think the only guys I'd actually keep at all costs are -
Couture
Meier
Hertl
Kane
Goodrow
Vlassic
Dillon
Simek
With regards to Burns or EK65 - I'd lean towards moving Burns simply due to the fact you may get a bit better value there and he's older. Then pray like hell with a shaken up roster and new coach (a real coach) we start to implement a system that allows EK65 to thrive.
Realistically, I think they need to work to move Jones or bury him in the minors.
Attempt to trade Burns, Melker Karlsson and Labanc (at the deadline) for as high of draft picks as they can.
Then enter free agency with the goal to plug 3 forward holes (combined ~9mil), 1 right shooting D hole (ideally in the 5-6 mil range), 1 goalie (honestly I am thinking even a 3-4mil guy should be more solid than the dumpster fire of Jones).

Doug Wilson should be fired ASAP! It should've already happened. This dumpster fire of a team is HIS fault! Fire his ass NOW!! |

So the NHL teams scouted and got recently:
Merzlikins
Kivlenieks
Shesterkin
Blackwood
Samsonov
Francouz
Kahkonen
Hogberg
...
And the Sharks are treading water and would rather rot Korenar in the Barracuda bog.

As much as DW ought to go whoever comes in is probably going to be a worse GM. Playoff failures notwithstanding he’s been one of the best at his position basically his entire tenure.

Then what is the alternative? Find a true NHL coach and hope he drives DW in a better direction? We also need to address the scouting/drafting issue in North America. The Euro guys seem to have helped but our NA pipeline is still a wreck. Laviolette, Babcock, Gallant all on the market. |
