And everyone thinks Tim Burke is a drafting genius? The results speak for themselves Isn't Dougie Wilson JR the head of scouting now? That's the word but Tim Burke had to ok all the draft picks this year. |

As we begin the season are the Sharks stronger or weaker than they were last season at the start? I say weaker. The Sharks success this year (or lack thereof) is going to depend primarily on Jones. Was last year a fluke or the establishing of a new trend? I also think that Boughner being back in control of the D is going to make Jones' job easier. The other wild card is going the be Karlsson's health. The few weeks he was acclimated and healthy he went on a franchise record point scoring streak. Last year's goal for without Pavelski's goals would have been 13th in the league so it is to be expected that the offense will suffer some. |

All the contracts the Sharks signed today (5 in total) are two-way, so we're good here.

No Braun, who replaces his position and TOI? The foreigner that injured his knee last season. Can't remember his name Coming off significant knee surgery. Hopefully he is ready to fully go at the start. The last four seasons Braun played a minimum of 78 games so he is durable and carried quite a bit of ice time. Last season -14 is an outlier to his career numbers and maybe Jones did not help him here or maybe it’s on him but his role must be filled. |

I'm predicting that Jones is going to rebound ( what he did in the playoffs was unbelievable after the season he had) as long as the defense is sorted out. Boogie back as coach, along with Simek back at 100% and finally EK65 not necessarily healthy to start the season (But boy that would be terrific) at most a month in, be back at 100%. We all saw what he can do when "mostly" healthy. The forward situation will sort itself out with who ever is going to "want it" to fill the holes. But I believe as long as the Defense is sorted out, the team will have plenty of success this season and into the post season.
On a around the NHL note. I think it will definitively be interesting to see if the Canucks sink or swim this season. Will all the additions to the success they had late last season will be some of interest to watch as the season progresses

Great post above. I do like the optometrist approach shown. Think the Nucks will compete and be a bubble team that sneaks into the postseason.

The season will depend on the Sharks D. With Simek back, that should really help based on his performance from last year. If EK65 is healthy, the team is very good. As you stated, I wouldn't worry too much about replacing Pavelski's goals because the problem wasn't scoring goals last season. If the defense/goaltending is much better, the drop off in offense won't matter. |

That was really a tough injury blow to the sharks and the injury bug was hardly done there. |

Soumela was like the guy that stirs the pot but wasn't really potting goals or assists. I was hoping for more. My big concern is that without Pavs and Goose we effectively have 2 open top 6 spots. Seems asinine to think you'll have 2 guys develop up there. Labanc maybe if he can keep his head out of his ass. But a second? Remember at the height of 'Radil-mania' last January, DW signed Lukas Radil to a one year $750k extension, then he faded back despite dressing for 6 playoff games. Maybe not the 'real deal' after all. Radil looked like a veteran at times but his foot speed at NHL level ultimately suffered in late season games, IMO. I hope he's working out HARD this summer because he has an opportunity. at 6'4" he could 4C and be an anchor for the fourth line like an Eric Fehr could. Radil could maybe be a more effective Shark concentrating on the defensive side of the puck. Do it Deboer. will also re-state drafted Russian hot-shot Ivan Chekhovich will be given every chance to land a top 9 spot. That project could get really exciting, his progression since being drafted in 2017 is very solid, no pussy like Nik Goldobin was. Sharks due for something home grown to break through impact like Meier did in 17-18 season. DW says he's counting on it. I sure hope so. It is true we normally get at least one guy out of camp worth a shot. Radil could be great for us but he definitely faltered late last year. If he could grow and skate some shifts with Patty and Goodrow on line 4 I think we're doing ok. And Checkovich with Jumbo and the swede. |

Labanc for 1m makes no sense. Cunt hair above league min after 56pt season?
I hope Doug finds a good use for the space

Little sense. Less sense still if Wilson doesn’t use that space to upgrade. I’m still annoyed they missed on Ferland. |

I hope Doug finds a good use for the space In an interview Lebanc said he knew the Sharks needed cap space and told DW that he would take a 1 year deal. He will have arbitration rights after this season and next year the Sharks will have an additiona $1.5 mil in cap space with the Paul Martin buyout coming off the books. Labanc is betting on himself and his numbers improving with added ice time with Pavelski's departure. |

I figured Labanc would come in around $4-$5 mil. |

So just off the top of my head. We lost
Pavelski
Gus
Donkey
Braun
I know there's more, "but it's still early in my house, so not thinking clearly" all to sign EK65 and Mitch Marner to an offer sheet. Makes sense to Me!

Makes sense to Me! DW is playing the long game. Bring Marleau back so when Matthews is UFA, he’ll take his mentor’s word and come to SJ. |

I wonder if DW pulled the Jumbo card saying that his point total was inflated due to playing with Jumbo. Throw backs to Nils Ekman and Jonathan Cheechoo |

Last season -14 is an outlier to his career numbers and maybe Jones did not help him here or maybe it’s on him but his role must be filled. Last year was also the first year Braun wasn't playing 100% of the time with Vlasic. Vlasic also had a terrible start to the season. |

Makes sense to Me! That’s about right. Seems so cold to dump Pavs who did nothing wrong, was durable and played some huge post season hockey for you as did Braun who was also durable for a guy that has had major problems with health lately but here we are. The loss of Donkey is a good thing. |
