  1. If San Jose spent a little bit of that money, they could very well get into a wildcard spot. They need more savvy vets.

  2. One note… San Jose has nearly $20 million in cap space, but only 1 retention slot, so they won't be able to weaponize that as much. They could take on a really bad contract, or more, from a contender that needs the help, but they won't be able to help more than one team with a deadline trade.

  3. Easy team to rebuild on franchise mode with all those elite, top 6 forwards, top 4 defence potential players

  4. I really hope to see the Sharks do better this season. It's been painful seeing them miss playoffs for so many years.

  5. Mukh > Ferraro
    Graf > everyone in the bottom 6 on this list except Wennberg
    Not on the board, but keep an eye out for netminder Matt Davis
    There's an 'n' in Chernyshov, maybe why it was hard to pronounce

    One more bad season, draft RHD Verhoeff and the team will be taking the elevator up over the next few seasons.

  6. As a Sharks fan I am very exited about the future. The Sharks had 30+ losses by one goal, (not counting empty net goals). That with the, "goaltending" they got last year makes me very hopeful for this year. Sub in Askarov, (even if he gives league average goaltending) for Fourgiev and how many of the losses turn into wins. Also you will need to learn to say Cheryshov as you will be saying it a bunch in a couple years as he is the top prospect not named Misa and will be a beast on Misa's line in say two years.

  7. I have Sharks to at least improve to potentially contend for playoffs, but a long overdue Cup still a long shot for sure. When you add Misa in the case there's injuries the team will become a monster

  8. Celebrini is so impressive. I'm more impressed by a young player who can be so responsible and all-around than very skillful but onesided young guys often, but not guys like Macklin Celebrini.

  9. Mike Grier intentionally kneecapped the team’s record last year by trading Blackwood and Granlund well before the deadline whenever the team started looking decent. It worked and they got Misa. But Grier isn’t going to do that again this year and he doesn’t need to.

    Let’s say the Sharks have a big improvement going from 20-50-12 last year to 32-42-8. That’s an improvement of 12 wins and 20 points, but it still lands them as a bottom five team. But it’s enough for the good vibes to continue and one more high pick in a deep draft to crown the kind of prospect pool that leads to an eventual dynasty.

  10. I see San Jose as being where Chicago was at right after they drafted guys like Kane and Toews. You could see the progression and they could be a dangerous team on any given night, but they weren't at all ready to compete for anything of significance. The drafting had been pretty excellent, but it just hadn't paid off yet.

  11. Sharks fan. Very stoked about the young core. If they can sniff out a .500 season, it would be a great milestone. Thanks for kicking off the series with the 🦈🦈🦈.

  12. Im a sharks fan and i still use the phone background where it says "its *place time in this spot*"
    "And the kings still suck"
    I would absolutely love the California rivalry back!
