So DW gave away Dillon for a bag of pucks then. Ok. Got it! I thought the return would be a lot better too. Capitals made a better trade than the Sharks did. Should’ve been at least a mid level player and a 2nd rounder. Dillons a solid top 3/4 player right now. I’ll be curious to see where he slots in with the Caps. |

But at this point there is really no incentive for him to do so. |

Bruce Boudreau is one of hockey’s most charismatic characters, and the former Minnesota Wild head coach provided an unusually candid account into his recent dismissal.
Boudreau served as the Wild’s head coach from 2016-17 onward but was fired on Feb. 14.
The former Jack Adams Award winner spoke to The Athletic’s Michael Russo for a lengthy profile that detailed his firing, where Boudreau revealed he was caught off guard by Wild general manager Bill Guerin on Saturday.
“It was funny because Bill came in and he shut the door, and as soon as he shut the door, I knew,” Boudreau said. “You just know, right? And he says, ‘I’m going to make a change,’ and I instantly said, ‘Are you firing me?!’ — just like that.
“And he goes, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Are you f—ing kidding me?’”

I knew Dillon would most likely go for picks but it does sting knowing he's one of the better assets to build around and we are taking potential late round picks, none in round 1. I gst that and can accept that. Retaining 50% salary is fucking atrocious. Why is retaining salary atrocious? It's a pending UFA. Slap in the face. |

Just seems like one of the only viable pieces of this squad, especially outside of the forwards, was let go for very little. More and more I think the EK65 resigning was a terrible move. Either you make that move and move Burns to help the forward core/goalie situation (this was a bad move in retrospect - but one option that would have made more sense than what DW did). Or you see the writing on the wall and stick with Burns while you let EK65 walk. And use that salary elsewhere. Having 2 guys that are bad and worse at actually playing defense, poor forward scoring and a sieve is a horrible path to set the team down. And with that contract we'll be handcuffed for a few more seasons (I'm hoping the cap helps alleviate it after a few years). |

Unless and until EK65 becomes the defenseman he was 4/5 years ago the resigning will be DW’s legacy failure. And every day that passes by with Karlsson’s performance continuing to lag behind his gaudy price tag the more damning it looks. |

Then he decides to sign him long term. I thought EK65 was a bust pretty early. I say I should be the next GM. Look for good beer promos next season. The team may suck but you wont care. |

I hope after some cap clearing after july 1 Dillon signs with the sharks again. But at this point there is really no incentive for him to do so. I like Dillon also, but your right, no reason for him to come back and probably not best for the Sharks long term. IMO, the Sharks are too far gone to add a piece here or there and improve much. They're in a 2-5 year youth rebuild mode with maybe a new FA or two at the most.

Dillon was one of the most underrated Players on the Roster. Always gave 100%! I know it's a pipe dream to hope he comes back next Year, but the Sharks are going to miss Him!

And every day that passes by with Karlsson’s performance continuing to lag behind his gaudy price tag the more damning it looks. I think the biggest miss was expecting even with EK65 back to his norm from 5 years ago, that holding him, Burns and Pickles down would be the best strategy. Rather than picking 2 of 3 that seem to be the best bet and reallocating the 3rd to help elsewhere. Regardless of him completely fucking the call on EK65's contribution level, he also made a strategic blunder on cap allocation. Even with EK65 of 5 years ago I suspect Jones + the missing forward slots still hamstrings this team from any meaningful success. |

Today I listened to the 10:45 KCBS radio sports section (5 minutes). With the football season over, with the baseball season still dead, and with Golden State Warriors being a bigger pile of shit than the Sharks they did talk hockey (Steve Bitker):
"The big trade that happened yesterday in the NHL"
"One of the Sharks' leaders on and off the ice"
"Washington's General Manager Brad MacLellan"
At least he didn't say "Todd".

Martinez is a bit higher on a depth chart than Dillon but to a division rival and still grabbing 2 2nd round picks. Though I assume this is in sequential years and Dougie probably wanted as much for this June as possible. |

This is the right draft to tank. But it isn't the right draft to give up the 1st and load yourself with the 11.5M$ contract for a damaged goods.

It is only this season and it isn’t like the Sharks need cap room now. The Sharks might have retained salary so Dillon could go to a team with a legitimate shot. I have no issue with the return on Dillon at all. |
