Torts has driven good players batty before. PLD is a heavy player, that one shift notwithstanding. I think he fits really nicely for the Jets behind Scheifele if he goes back to playing like he can. I don’t see Laine becoming one Tortorella’s favourites. While I understand/agree with that in general...some of those “good” players have been spoiled idiots...so it hasn’t always been on Torts. There have been times I wished Torts was the Sharks coach to light a fire under their lazy/spoiled ways. The Sharks had a coach like Torts in D.Sutter but the kiddies didn’t like his demanding style so DW fires him and Sutter goes to LA and wins a couple cups. Even coming back being down 0-3 to the Sharks and winning that series. Sharks=Soft |

This will be the biggest trade of the season Do you think DW has the BALLS to make a big trade to shake up the stale looking Sharks? I don’t Because DW hasn't pulled off big trades before... Problem isn't having the courage to do it, it's not having anything to do it with. |

Karlson All of those players have NTC-NMC contracts also including Vlasic and the two goalies so there's not much to move except Meier and Donato. Looking at the trade options the cupboard is pretty much bare Here's a reference website if you haven't seen it before www.capfriendly.com/teams/sharksCapfriendly has every team listed and their cap numbers.

There’s Hertl, Couture, Burns, ETC. try dumping his biggest mistake E. Karlson Hertl yes. Nobody is going to give good value for Couture, Burns, Kane, Vlasic, or Karlsson with their huge deals and he trade protections DW has given, as Fugazi pointed out. Meier is the only other one beside Hertl who’d get good a good return, of course they are the two good, younger, players you have. |

But he can always fire another coach when they finish last again. |

from the Toronto Maple Leafs,
The Toronto Maple Leafs mourn the passing today of George Armstrong at age 90. As one of the first players of Indigenous descent to play professional hockey, George first signed with the organization in 1946 and was a member of the Maple Leafs family for 75 years. He distinguished himself as a player, captain, coach, assistant general manager, scout, community ambassador and alumnus.
Skating his entire 21-year NHL career with the Maple Leafs - and 12 as their captain - George helped Toronto capture four Stanley Cups. He was named one of the One Hundred Greatest Maple Leafs of all-time, is an Honoured Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and has had his number retired by the club in addition to being a hallowed member of Legends Row.
"George is part of the very fabric of the Toronto Maple Leaf organization and will be deeply missed," said Toronto Maple Leafs President & Alternate Governor Brendan Shanahan. "A proud yet humble man, he loved being a Maple Leaf but never sought the spotlight even though no player played more games for Toronto or captained the team longer. Always one to celebrate his teammates rather than himself, George couldn't even bring himself to deliver his speech the day he was immortalized on Legends Row."

If EK65 under performs this year (again) then he should be the first one offered up as the sacrifice to Seattle. Unless EK65 puts up like 70 points this year and I don't see that happening, then that would be the final nail in the coffin? I'd bet that some eastern team (in a normal, non-covid year) would over pay for Coture but maybe not after his performance this season. |

I wonder if Karlson has a cause in his contract that he can’t be put on the expansion list |

from Mark J. Burns and Chris Smith of SportsBusiness Journal at Boston Business Journal,
The NHL has raised around $1 billion in new debt on the private placement market, and the league is using the capital to create a central facility from which each of its clubs can draw up to $30 million to address cash-flow issues, payroll costs and other operational expenses amid the coronavirus pandemic, sources have told Sports Business Journal, a sister publication of the Boston Business Journal.
The NHL and its teams stand to lose billions of dollars during the shortened, 56-game 2020-21 season, league Commissioner Gary Bettman told the media on Jan. 11. Still, the new debt financing that provides a potential injection of cash should ensure that all clubs are in a position to handle the financial difficulties.
The borrowing is secured against future league revenue, some sources said, including an expected increase to the amount of money owners will receive from player escrow due to the reduction in this year’s hockey-related revenue. The lenders could not be determined, but private placements are typically funded by large insurance companies and other institutional investors.

LA has a better team than us with $10 million in cap space. Half of their roster I've never heard of, and byfield, turcotte, etc on the way. Pretty sweet

from the Pittsburgh Penguins,
Jim Rutherford has resigned as general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, citing personal reasons, the team announced today.
Patrik Allvin, the Penguins' assistant general manager, has been promoted to interim GM, and the search for a new GM will begin immediately.
Rutherford, 71, has been GM of the Penguins since the 2014-15 season, making the playoffs every year and leading the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017. He was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2019.
"It has been a great honor to serve as general manager of the Penguins, and to hang two more Stanley Cup banners at PPG Paints Arena," Rutherford said. "I have so many people to thank, beginning with the owners, Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux, and team president David Morehouse. There always has been so much support from everyone involved with the Penguins, both on the hockey and business staffs, and, of course, from a special group of players led by Sidney Crosby. The fans here have been tremendous to me and my family. I know it's a little unusual to have this happen during a season, but just felt this was the right time to step away."

from Frank Seravalli of TSN,
...one of the oddities of the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols is that team owners are barred from physically spending time around their players and hockey staff this season. They are permitted to attend and watch games from a suite within arenas, but there are no locker room visits or stops at training camps or practices.
Owners and team governors are classified as “Group 3” personnel according to the NHL’s protocol, therefore “individuals who must avoid contact with Group 1 (players/coaches) and Group 2 (GMs and hockey personnel) individuals at all times.”
Even GMs and hockey operations personnel are asked to limit close contacts with Group 1 individuals to “essential interactions only.” The groups are sequestered for everyone’s health and safety, to limit contact from outside people as much as possible.
Proper perspective is key, according to Vinik.
“It’s very different not being at games, but for good reason around the league,” Vinik said. “If we call that a challenge, or hardship, that pales in comparison to what a lot of people in the world are going through right now. It is what it is. On the flip side, I’ve gotten to spend a lot of time together with my family.”

SAN JOSE, CA - San Jose Sharks (@sanjosesharks) General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has completed two trades this morning that will bring defenseman Christian Jaros to San Jose.
In the first trade, the Sharks have sent D Trevor Carrick to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for F Jack Kopacka.
In the second trade, San Jose sent Kopacka and San Jose's own seventh-round selection in the 2022 NHL Draft to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Jaros.
"Christian is a big right-shot defenseman who plays a physical game," said Wilson. "He is a young player with 76 games of NHL experience so far and has the ability to grow his game."
Jaros, 24, split the season with Ottawa and the Belleville Senators (AHL) in 2019-20. He appeared in 13 games with Ottawa, recording three assists and six penalty minutes. While with Belleville, he skated in 34 contests and recorded 15 points (two goals, 13 assists), a plus-20 rating and 14 penalty minutes. The defenseman finished tied for second on Belleville in plus/minus.
Over the course of his career, Jaros has appeared in 76 NHL games, recording 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) with 33 penalty minutes. In the AHL, he has appeared in 79 games, scoring 31 points (five goals, 26 assists) with a plus-10 rating and 57 penalty minutes.
Internationally, he has represented Slovakia in the 2015 and 2016 World Junior Championships, being named captain in 2016. He helped Slovakia win a Bronze medal in 2015, recording one assist across seven games. In both 2015 and 2016, he was named as a Top 3 Player on the team.
The six-foot-four, 220-pound native of Kosice, Slovakia, was originally selected by Ottawa in the 2015 NHL Draft (fifth round 139th overall).
