Finding The Right Free Agency Fits For The San Jose Sharks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- The San Jose Sharks enter the offseason with something they have not had in a long time: a ton of cap space. How does Mike Grier approach the National Hockey League's Free Agency? Start by profiling five players who would make sense for the Sharks to try and sign this offseason as they look to insulate their young players and turn the team into a more respectable operation night in and night out. Start with Todd Bertuzzi of the Toronto Maple Leafs and why his skill set would be perfect for the likes of William Eklund. Then, look at Jake DeBrusk, who will command the largest contract of the group but provides the most well-rounded game. Next, could Warren Foegele provide some stability in the middle six for the Sharks? Afterward, switch the focus to the blueline to find a defenseman to help the Sharks start their transition. Start with Shayne Gostisbehere, who might be older but provides a lot of offensive value. Finally, finish with Nikita Zadorov, who is a very underrated transition player.

Yes we FINALLY have cap, but does a player want to play here, I think is more of an issue they will face. For example, tarasenko was offered more money to play in SJ but took a smaller deal in Ottawa. I’m also fine with signing someone and flipping them for assets. Exciting to say the least
I think that Bertuzzi makes the most sense for both parties. His numbers ended in a decent place with Toronto but they were frustrated for what they paid and expected. He might be willing to take a prove-it deal with the Sharks knowing he can probably easily rack up 80 points just before turning 30. He can also be a legit winger for the Sharks and help the youngins along, people speak really highly of him.
Love all these as potential FA targets, specifically the Shayne Gostisbehere shoutout. I would like to add the Roslovic and Duclair. They both have had solid seasons but neither have played themselves into a long term deals imo. This means that the Sharks could potentially lock them in for 2 -3 years on a higher AAV. Both of these two would be great complimentary pieces for our young skilled guys trying to get their footing.
Man I would love to get Bertuzzi or even Dakota Joshua if Vancouver decided to let him walk.
The Bertuzzi signing would in essence give Labanc’s money to him and that’s a huge upgrade from Labanc to Bertuzzi
Yeah you could actually pay a guy to play hockey, not just take up space on the ice. It got real rough for Labanc the past few years.
I would like to get character guys to be around and lead the influx of young talent. Bertuzzi an example
Marchessault to fuck w vegas.
I’m not sure what it would take to get Necas, but that’s who I want on Celebrini’s wing.
The problem is Necas wants to play a center.
@@JovanyMT39 I heard he just wanted to play on the top line
I commented on another cast to this, what if Toronto offered Lilly or Robertson as trade bait to get the 14th (Pens) pick and give us their first rounder at 23rd? I don’t know a lot about guys outside top 16 this year, not sure how deep. If we can’t get Eiserman, Nygard or a D-man that slips thru I wonder if trading down for a proven NHLer makes sense?
nygard will 100 percent be there, and if he isn't, then someone good slipped. i agree on dman though. would rather trade up from 33 than trade down from 14 for Elick.
Bertuzzi I think has said that he wants to stay a Maple Leafs, and I'm not sure what we could offer him other than more ice time that would be enticing enough for him to come over
We could GUARANTEE no first round exits because there will be no first rounds 😅
i had been thinking bertuzzi as well. dudes a gamer
Would be interested in a cast on trade down possibilities, for any teams with RFA’s that might be used as a sweetener? 🍭 🍫
My issue with your selections is that it does not align with what GMMG stated he was going to not do with contracts this offseason. Most of the forwards you presented need 4 or more years on their contracts and they seem a bit expensive. looking at the previous offseason very few got more than three years on a contract. I would be surprised if he signs anyone for four years or more. If the players you listed want more than a three year contract I think you can throw them out as options. I think he signs contracts of three years or less.
Many players signed short-term contracts, knowing there would be a jump in the cap this offseason and more money available. As for the price, the Sharks need to spend money to get to the floor.
Leafs Tree is gonna want Zaddy, might be a bidding war we bow outta 🌲
Get Teuvo, Zadorov and Foegele.. Resign Thrun and Kunin and we're set
Let’s watch pavelski win with Dallas then bring him back to retire on a one year 5 mil
hes 40 years old Lol.
Why stop at Pavs. We can get Thorton and Marleau for nothing .A lot of Shark fans would sign some of these guys to 12 year deals cause they love them
but does Bertuzzi want to spend the end of his prime years in a rebuilding SJS org?
Top 6 role with Celebrini and a 4-year deal after signing several short-term deals?
I'll take Debrusk, maybe Ghost, but pass on the rest. I like Zadorov but think he'll go to a contender, I like Bert as a player but not the person, hard pass.
Yes to Foegele. No to Bertuzzi and DeBrusk. DeBrusk doesn't produce like he should as one of the big 4 in Boston.
Hard disagree on Bertuzzi. Dude is a bum; attitude, selfish, inconsistent. There’s a reason why he can’t keep a job. He’s another Hoffman.
Agree. He's also I think the only NHL Player still unvaccinated and he missed games while with Detroit because of it. Selfish and stupid.
