7:17 you say Collin graf is a rookie come on JD you know enough sharks hockey to know he played more than 25 games last year.
What about carry price Cary price
Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Skinner-Misa-Smith
Kurashev-Wennberg-Gaudette
Wahlstrom-Dellandrea-Graf
Reserves:
Reaves,Goodrow,Grundstrum
Dickinson-Orlov
Klingberg-Ferraro
Liljegren-Leddy
Reserves:
Mukhamadullin,Deharnais, Thompson
Thats probably the lineup i'd like to try coming out the gates…I wouldn't mind trying to trade out Liljegren for a legit 4C
26:12 Toffoli is the easy C for the next couple years (the remainder of his contract), then give it to Celebrini when Toff’s contract is up.. Cele will be 22 or so, perfect time to hand it over.
The more interesting question is who are the A’s for this year?
Ferraro will be an A, so that leaves maybe one more.. does Celebrini get an A in his 2nd year? Wennberg for the 2nd year in a row?
Wennberg & Ferraro are in their last year of their contracts (possibly both traded this yr). That leaves 2 open A’s at the deadline.
Whatever we do can we please be done with Goodrow. Nothing personal, it’s just time to move on.
Interesting to see if our team can get this captain thing right for once. I trust Mike G, he’s always on point with his decisions.
I just hope that Dellandrea and Grundstrom aren’t breaking camp with the team. I could throw Goodrow in there too, but they are all negative assets that won’t be asked to come back when their contracts up and there are plenty of younger and better players on the roster or even some AHL guys like Graf, Cardwell and Lund that we have seen make noticeable impacts in their short time with the team. I suspect the bottom six will largely come down to who is waivers exempt and who is not.
You need some gritty players that cab sandpaper anf fight. Goodrow is needed intil some younger guys can step up. Who is your fighter? Reeves?
Sharks need young defense prospects that can replace 1 year contract vets.
Thanks JD! Wake me up when they choose a captain… or not. Just let me sleep
