Gabriel's AHL fights are not so great either:

Yeah I wasn't impressed, give him props for trying to "find" a role to stay with the big club but he wasn't good at it haha. I liked Veil and he could play too. I didn't appreciate the bullshit the league sent the sharks way because of Gabriel, that much was unfairly thrown at him.

I feel like all I’ve watched today is a bunch of guys who’ve been around for ten years signing deals at or around 1M to stay in the league and then a bunch of old guys who don’t have it anymore or young guys who’ve never shown it either getting big deals.

DW trying to pull the wool over fans eyes. The names are fine, the year is not.

Dear Doug Wilson,
Can you please sign Perry just to dress him for all the Vegas games. Can you please sign Chara, just because he is still a force and pair him with EK65.

Yeah he lost more than he won but he showed up and didn't show any fear, even in defeat. He played hard and finished his checks, which is someone no other Shark could say. I'm not gonna miss him now that he's gone but you should still appreciate that he stepped into the ring with some of the only tough guys left in the league. I'd like to see what Viel can do but if you think he's gonna fare any better against that kind of competition Gabriel was going with I think you're in for a big letdown. Fighting Luke Johnson isn't the same thing as fighting Ryan Reaves.

Like he wants to lose, but lose 3-2, not 5-1.

Jones will be looking to get back to becoming a starter. It will be interesting to see if he only gets back to back action. My bet is more than that.

How to fix the defense... That is the question. Doug checked the boxes he said he was going to (goal, 3c/winger).

Honestly I don't know how to go about it other than take a wild guess. First step is finding someone who meshes with Ek65. Maybe the problem was Jones and the defense will shore itself up or maybe the Norris players actually play like Norris players. If not, have to move what you can to get what you can't move to work (unfortunately they may be how it plays out).

On a side note... Just checked old capfriendly and Dell signed with Buffalo. That poor man cannot catch a break.

Rumor mill says Fleury doesn't want to play for Chicago.
Call me weird, but he should sign with SJ and to say F.U. to Vegas!
But then again, he would only just be a co-worker and then he would get to used to the Surfer lifestyle in SJ. Yeesh.

If we are going to rebuild and not contend for the cup, literally the only objective in the season becomes: troll/beat Vegas.
