    Celebrini is 1000000% safe, at least for many years. If he was traded there'd be riots inside SAP center lol …

    Smith is like 90% safe …Grier guy, Celebrini's budyy. Only way he's moved is for a guy like Bedard or something equally as ridiculous.
    Eklund is 75% safe … about the same caliber as Smith, but he's not a Grier guy.

    After that yea no one's really safe, outside of whoever we draft top 3 this year.

    Sharks will trade Eklund because he is not a power forward or large enough for team Mike Grier is building. All players under 6 feet high will get shipped out to change the whole team weight and identity. That means trading Eklund, Kovalenko, and prospects such as Gushchin, Bordeleau, Cagnoni and Havelid among others below 6 feet. Desharnais and Mukhamadullin would make a monster defense pair. A big team will also tend to be slower and slower developing also. Giant lumbering robots appears to be the Shark identity that Grier is aiming for, but it could turn out to be the wrong bias for a winning team in a faster, sleeker pro game in the future. Big teams only dominate in certain circumstances, particularly when they outsize and out fight their opponents. They are not better at outscoring or outsmarting teams.

    Note: Mukhamadullin has shown enough for me to graduate him.

    Ottawa is executing a master plan to ultimately get eklund. This summer they will trade up in the draft and pick his brother, and they paid Noah gregor to whisper in wills ear. Ultimately they plan for eklund to force a trade next season

    I do like how you're worried about 'giving away' your list (29min mark). When you publish the list right below the video. Nice!!

    With Hertl I think most of us got it, but the shock of it (last minute when you thought the deadline was winding down, not wildly forecast ahead of time, etc.) was what got people pissed. The return was ok and somewhat logical, if a little underwhelming on paper. Zetterlund was similar in the shock value, plus the fact his age matched better towards the rebuild and the Eklund factor. And then the return. Not saying it isn't ok value, but all those factors led to a more viscerally negative reaction. All that said, I'm marginally ok with it. It sucks, but this is still one of those transactional realities of the NHL. And we definitely weren't fleeced or anything.

    My personal ranking after keeping an eye on a lot of prospect this year, and keeping an eye on scout's opinion, like Elite Prospects and such

    1) Askarov
    2) Dickinson
    3) Chernyshov
    4) Musty
    5) Mukhamadullin
    6) Cagnoni
    7) Graf
    8) Halttunen
    9) Lund
    10) Ostapchuk
    11) Bystedt
    12) Pohlkamp
    13) LSW
    14) Wetsch
    15) Cardwell

    HM (in no order) : Muldowney, Misskey, Havelid, Svoboda, Kirsch/Korostelyov (both goalies have very good numbers so far but too early to ranking in reality)

    Bordeleau and Goose arent even ranking in my HM, I haven't forgotten them. Also keeping an eye on Klee, and Bay native Laubach

    There may be actual hope for the world now that Sheng is finally starting to come around on Cagnoni.

  20. @faultysynapse9195

    The Hertl contract shouldn't have ever been made. The organization was between GMs.
    Zetts still fits the stated plans. I think it was a rare mistake in otherwise decent moves. I worry about the front office being overly focused on size.

    The one issue I have with the Musty criticism is can you really blame him? He needs to learn a pro game and grow up in a pro environment and he's literally not allowed to do that unless it's in the NHL. And yeah, that's something you mentioned, but you also gave Bystedt kind of a pass for the same reason. This idea of "The tools are there and I can't really give up on him until he hasn't made it" idea. Except Musty's ceiling so much higher.

    Also Peng saying his ceiling being a scoring 2nd liner I think is way off. I think in terms of ceiling/floor, he's one of those guys where if he doesn't hit, he'll be in the KHL in 5 years, but if he does, he can be a Kucherov level player he's THAT skilled offensively
