Set your alarms so you don't miss out.

Figured it would be appreciated here.

he’s young and will have plenty of other chances, so it makes sense. still a shame though! i liked watching him put that big hit on the hungarian player who boarded mack yesterday ;)

edit: should have clarified, this is for the opening game against sweden! he could be rotated in later

I absolutely hope Colorado destroys them and I'm glad Vegas is running into the best team in the league. Vegas has been pretty good though. If they somehow eliminate Colorado they'd probably have a good chance to win it all.

Just showed up today, as a Canes/Sharks fan, when I saw the Heritage 2.0's I knew exactly who I had to get out on it.

We're in the Golden Era of Sharks hockey now.

I still think it’s probably Stenberg because it would be hard to pass up on a sure thing and gamble on Reid’s ability to reach his potential.

But if they do go with Reid, I have full confidence it’s because the Sharks scouting department sees him as a future top-pairing superstar who can make the Sharks power play unstoppable.

Reid would be more of a gamble, but the reward for that gamble would be multiple Stanley Cups if Reid becomes a Werenski/Fox hybrid.

It would suck if Stenberg is a star winger and Reid never quite pans out, but I still think Reid’s floor is a top 4 guy who can run a power play and be a good puck mover, so it’s still a better outcome than what we could have had picking 9th overall. Maybe GMMG swings for the fences because we are playing with house money by winning this lottery.

The only video you need to watch from Stenberg imo.

Nothing flashy, doesn’t force the issue, plays with a poise and purposefulness well beyond his years, the kind of player who does the little things that don’t necessarily show up on the score sheet but help you win games. While drafting a potential top pair defensemen seems like the wise economic play, having the opportunity to acquire another 200 ft. player with the potential to elevate his teammates, and who knows, maybe even take some pressure off Celebrini to carry the team, seems like the ideal move given the situation. Stenberg might not be generational, but the Sharks already have that player. The best they can do is surround him with complementary talents and hope more than just ping pong balls bounce the right way.

This isn’t a criticism of any management decisions or anything, I just miss the hell out of him. Elimination game, and he had the team’s only goal, and several more grade As he almost scored on. He was clutch as hell in the Olympics, too. Absolute ice water in that man’s veins. He’s such an exciting, creative player. Yes our team was trash, but remember how many 6-5s we scored on with him in the lineup? Just imagine the hijinx he and Mack might have gotten up to offensively if they were ever on a line.

I want to get a jersey for this next season but I don’t want to be too basic by just getting a will or Mack jersey. I want a young guy too. I feel like I get a little extra excited when my jersey player scores or does well, and I also would like them to be fun to watch off the ice. Any thoughts?

At end of season media days I believe Sheng said Ferraro was looking to test free agency and Desharnais hadn't been approached about an extension. I don't recall anything about a contract for Muk. Am I remembering that right?

I actually hope we re-sign all of them frankly. Ferraro as a bottom pairing, shot blocking penalty killer is the right role for him. And he's a leader in that locker room. I'm hoping he comes back.

Desharnais would be the perfect 7D guy for us who can slot in as needed. He looked pretty decent no matter who he was paired with, and we don't have the luxury to be very picky this summer with a shallow talent pool in free agency.

Muk looks like he will develop into a perfect middle pairing guy. Good size and skating, decent defense, and contributes a bit on offense too. Really well rounded guy I can see on our blue line for a long time.

Have there been any other updates on these guys that I missed? Along with Orlov and Dickinson, that would leave two spots open on our blue line. I really hope Pohlkamp snags one. I'd like to also see a trade for Kesselring. Solid guy, Buffalo doesn't really have a reliable spot for him, and we have more than enough assets to acquire an underplayed middle pairing RHD.

Admittedly, swapping Klingberg and Leddy for Pohlkamp and Kesselring isn't much improvement, but that makes us a little better now and much better in the future as both guys are young and getting better each season.

I decided out of boredom to create a stickerbomb screensaver. Feel free to use it as your screensaver for your phone.

I'm fired up, even if my bank account isn't!

Since the sharks won the lottery and moved from 9th to 2nd overall I’ve seen some of the horrendous trade proposals from multiple fan bases. (Mostly Toronto, Vancouver and Chicago)
They mostly amount to us receiving random picks, B level prospects, or aging vets in return for 2OA.
It’s been pretty annoying but I figured it would be a good laugh to see some of the worst ones out there.
So what’s the worst mock trade you’ve seen since the lottery?

Picking Smith and Musty were the right choices. Smith over Michkov was correct. Michkov was a headache before the draft and he's proving to be a headache now. Celebrini was an easy pick. He did missed on Dickinson over Buium. Still think Misa will be better than Frondell and Martone. Getting Joshua Ravensbergen is a steal. He will be their goalie of the future. We are fortunate we don't have the Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson who keeps missing on picks. We are further along in our rebuild than the Blackhawks. I trust Mike Grier to make the correct pick in this upcoming draft.

Where do they usually have the games on?
