Montreal has the honorable wall in upper bowl
Martone is projected to fall a bit, so you can take him further than 3 for sure, so a trade is more likely for him and can get more asset. And honestly, I'd feel better with Martone than Frondell personally, even if there's more to work with Martone (especially speed and unlocking him). I'm still on the Misa train, but I personally feel Misa > Martone > Frondell personally. Heck, even V.Eklund I could digest for the type of player we don't have, good story with the brother. I just hope if we don't take Misa, to trade down
Montreal got Dobson, so that means they get Shaeffer. They also got 2X 1sts for the deal and will pick mid range and scoop up more D
Congrats to the Blackhawks! They're getting a helluva player in Misa.
Yo, make your bed…….
We want Frondell
Yes!!!!
I’ve been saying we need a ring of honor! Pavelski, Nabby, couture, Nolan, Vlasic Burns, etc should be in a ring, not retired jerseys
sharks management so stupid
Make sure to drink plenty of water, JD
Finally!!! I agree that they lean Misa from what all the rumors are saying. I will be very happy with that. My biggest point of interest is the 30th pick. Will they move up to get a prospect like Fiddler? I hope so.
Like many have said, with the Dobson trade Schaefer is 100% an Isles prospect.
We should trade eklund to buffalo for byram and 9 and draft mrkta
Misa or we riot.
99.9% Misa
JD, I appreciate your tribute to Pickles. He was a core piece of that long playoff stretch. And if Defense truly is for nerds, then Pick;les was the nerdiest….Only great memories of #44 for this fan…….
Vlasic being bought out also means he can sign with someone else and make another go of it. It's a win/win. Vlasic can still play and skate, but he's not what he once was. He can take a league minimum deal and play 1 season in Florida or Toronto or Tampa or Carolina or Vegas, wherever, and be a locker room presence and veteran. Sad to see the end of an era, but excited about the next one on the horizon.
I'm excited the 2nd pick. Frondell brings size and he also played against men in Sweden. I liked that Misa played with Igor. I would be happy with either or
Frondell a beast! Misa soft!
The argument to not take misa because he’s a center is stupid
Just take Misa. Dont trade out, just take him
How many preseason games were there in the prior CBA? 🤔
JD just rolled out of bed! 😆
I don’t think the sharks try to replicate the panthers model. I think you take Misa and you build your own style team.
Frondell bots are crazy up in here
