Start with Luke Kunin and why he will most likely get this largest contract of the potential free agents, why Calen Addison's projection looks off, and what Henry Thrun's next contract looks like. Finally, project the 2024-25 season roster with and without Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith and how much work Mike Grier has to do to hit the NHL's cap floor.

Very informative! Keep up the content and also give Zadorov whatever he wants in the summer

@jonmendelson1104 Месяц назад

One thing that could make it a bit easier to reach the floor are performance bonuses for Celebrini/Smith. Bedard earned 3.5M in performance bonuses this year which would absolutely help reach the floor if one or both of Smith/Celebrini did the same. Of course you can't rely on that happening though...they could be injured or just not quite reach the bonus numbers.

@teknicalmadeit Месяц назад

I'd re-sign Zadina. He didn't have the best season, but it was an improvement over the season prior, especially when it came to goals. He scored the same amount of goals this season as he did in the two seasons prior to this season. Sure it was only 13 goals, but our leading goals scorer only had 24 and our leading points scorer only had 16. This team was bad. Zadina is still somewhat young. He's just about to enter his prime as we bring in a bunch of elite young players. If you can get him locked up for 3 or 4 years at $1-$2 million per year, why not? Let's see how he does to the left of Celebrini. As for the other guys, I'd honestly let them all walk lol. You have the opportunity to ice a horrible, horrible team without making it too obvious that you're tanking lol. They can get to the cap floor, but I'd go with the bare minimum. Get like 10 wins, I don't care. Anything to guarantee a Top 3 pick next season cause it's looking a lot better than this year's draft.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

The problem with Zadina is his defense and passing. He has some shooting skills but he is a defensive liability. Some players like March on the knights and Cat on the wings are like that only they have better offense. When you have players who are bellow average on defense their offense has to make up for it.

@previnsnaidu1 Месяц назад

I can definitely see us making some draft day moves to take on a player with a bad contract for someone like Burroughs while we also get some picks coming back

@StevenPalmer-cs5ix Месяц назад

I think Kunin signs for a slightly higher AAV than his current contract (3x3). I don't see a reason to keep Addison, even in the AHL. I'm expecting a forward addition from a contender wanting to add "a shiny new toy" to the roster, but cap limited until they free up space via trade.

@ianhall6614 Месяц назад

My one request to Mike Grier, please get rid of Calen Addison. We took a gamble on an offensive defensemen because we didn’t have any at the time and it very clearly did not work. I always had my gripes about Addisons ability but once I saw him play in person I knew exactly why Minnesota fans were excited to see him gone. He either can’t or refuses to quarter back the power play or with extended o zone pressure. He chooses to pass the puck instead of shooting it. I have never seen someone as adamant as him to refuse to shoot the puck from the blue line. It was unbelievable.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

Some players should never shoot. Remember Douglas Murray? he had one of the worst shots I had ever seen for an NHL player. Having bad defense brought the team Macklin so there is an upside.

@philobeddoe8342 Месяц назад

The Sharks will have enough cap space to take on a bad contract that has 1 or 2 years left on it, in exchange for draft picks and prospects. They could make that move at the draft, especially with one of these cup hungry teams that need the space.

@aaronthompson2329 Месяц назад

As The Hockey Guy says, "The Sharks need to weaponize their cap space". They take on a couple bad contracts with 2-3 years left and load up on more round 1-2 draft picks for the next couple of drafts.

@Judaddy1 Месяц назад

Exactly, its ok to get a vet on a bad contract with a year or two left. That fits this team

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

Trying to copy the MTL Monahan formula would be smart. 2 free first round picks and all they gave up was cap and they knew they were not winning the cup anyway.

@dekumyheroacademia9324 Месяц назад

Toronto with Tavares and Marner both have 1 year left

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

@@dekumyheroacademia9324 They both have a NMC so they would have to 100% agree and even if they did the sharks would need a retention slot to retrade them at the deadline and without that it might be impossible to do it. I doubt most playoff teams will have 11 mill of cap room right before the deadline even if one of the is a point per game player on the sharks. The sharks would have to trade a draft pick to another team to take on the cap or accept a bad contract at the deadline. If the leafs traded 2 firsts and 1 of them though the sharks could just keep 1 of them and let them leave a UFA.

@TheLilLeeroy Месяц назад

Finding somebody to take Kyle Burroughs of our hands would be big if Celebrini and Smith are signing. Can't have the puck getting stuck in the D zone for those guys.

@shawn9366 Месяц назад

Guys guys. You don’t let 21-24 year old prospects who are RFAs walk for nothing when you could just keep them for pennies. It’s going to be hard enough to reach the salary floor as it is.

@damageinc346 Месяц назад

The Sharks will start to contend when Vlasic's contract is off the books.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

I heard barbie was offended the sharks did not trade him to a playoff team at the deadline or none offered anything for him. He had such a down year that before the season he had so much more value and Grier should have traded him.

@user-cl4ue7ip2b Месяц назад

@Poiszn Месяц назад

gotta change that hertl jersey to an eklund or zetterlund or perhaps granlund

@LockedOnSharks Месяц назад

You going to send me one?

@alexgreen7728 Месяц назад

I was just about to say something about it ))) JD come on bro, you still feel like we need to be reminded about Tommy’s absence?! At least turn the jersey around if you can’t afford another one))) it’s your channel, so building Celebriny or Smith hype is your job security right now, Hertl is gone!

@Searles007 Месяц назад

Since Celebrini isn't going to the world championship, will he be playing any hockey from now until next season?

@teknicalmadeit Месяц назад

I think the earliest we'll see him is at the Rookie Faceoff in early September and that's if he signs. He can't play in anything NHL-related or else he won't be able to go back to BU. I don't see him going back to BU since he is ready for the NHL, but never say never. He might feel that he'd have more success doing another year in college instead of getting dominated every night on a 15-win Sharks team lol. There is the Hlinka Gretzky Tournament in August, but he turns 18 in June and I don't know how the eligibility works for that. There might be an exception where a player who turns 18 the year of the tournament can play, but I don't know. Other than those two, the earliest would be training camp, again, if he signs. If not that then early October at BU lol.

@Searles007 Месяц назад

@@teknicalmadeit Great, thanks! I looked into Hlinka Gretzky and noticed Celebrini didn't play in 2023 or 2022 either. He will miss the age cutoff this year by 7-8 weeks.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

Kevin Labanc leaving everyone wins. I wish him well but man what an awful Doug Wilson contract.

@ianhall6614 Месяц назад

That was truly an insane contract. He had a great season, took a team friendly deal that some people were calling cap circumvention, proceeded to take 12 steps backward and then DW still rewarded him with a huge contract. Hope he can find his game again but Jesus Christ get him away from the team.

@insanum666 Месяц назад

@@ianhall6614 totslly agree, the season after that 1 million dollar season wasn't really that great

@jp-47471 Месяц назад

Sharks need to try and get Joe Pavelski, if he becomes available. And maybe hire the coach of the Leafs who was just fired, Keefe.

@isaiahwince4261 Месяц назад

Pavelski on a one or two year contract is not a bad idea. Keefe could be an option, but I’m wary about his playoff record.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

That would be insane Pavs is too old let him chase his cup.

@SharksOregon Месяц назад

Almost no chance Pav’s comes back even if he wins a cup this year, but if it was on the table I’d definitely over pay him to mentor the youth

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

@@SharksOregon The team would better off using him as a coach.

@tacocruiser4238 Месяц назад

Addison sucks. Let him go.

@gabrieltrejo2533 Месяц назад

The Sharks need to completely gut the defense. Send Thrun to the Barracuda. Buyout Vlassic for sure and sign competent D-Men who know how to play in the NHL. There are lots of free agents we can bring in. Sign them to short deals and see how things pan out.

@zulluz9697 Месяц назад

Thrums good for the NHL he just needs a vet to mentor him and Rutta was not the guy

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

The problem when you buyout a contract is the team can lose cap for many more years than just keeping him. When Doug Wilson fired Martin Jones the sharks had cap going to him for 6 or 7 years with him NOT on the team. The sharks still have cap going to Jones for 3 more years. Doug Wilson at his finest. Vlasic only has 2 more years left and the sharks do not have cap problems like before. He can only be traded to 3 teams without asking his permission and one of them is MTL. He is still good enough he can be super overpaid backup.

@gabrieltrejo2533 Месяц назад

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Yeah, I'm well aware of Wilson's bad contract decisions. After this season Burns' retention comes off the books plus the cap is going to go up. The Sharks are going to have plenty of cap space this season. I just don't think Vlassic is worth the money or roster spot anymore. I also think if Couture isn't back by December, they should just put him on LTIR so they can free up cap space if they need it (Vegas keeps doing it, so why can't we?) If Celebrini does in fact make the jump to the NHL, he's going to need better players to play with and there will be some decent free agents available. I just think if Greer wants to build his version of the Sharks, he should get rid of the Wilson Era players. He's traded most of them anyway.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

@@gabrieltrejo2533 He is not worth the money or roster spot but buying him out just extends the cap problem. It is better just to keep him over turning it into a Jones situation or trading a 2nd and 3rd pick or more trying to dump him right now. Sending him to the AHL would at least give a player at the NHL his spot though as a compromise if that was possible. I do not think it as big as deal as you make it out to be it is not like he is Jack Campbell situation where he can't even be a backup. There is still tons of sharks fans who defend Doug Wilson when had the team not fired Lombardi I bet the sharks would have won a cup.

@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Месяц назад

@@gabrieltrejo2533 As for Couture he might retire so him going on LTIR would be great. The best moves for the sharks is to trade for cap dump players or sign players to 1 year deals they can flip at the deadline for a profit. Without the retention spots it is harder trading players at the deadline though. Celebrini, Smith, Ecklund, Granny and Zetterlund just playing a line combo of 2 of those names is fine without adding anyone.

@MrVisde Месяц назад

Hot take: Sharks resign Kunin to 3yr deal and make him team captain for 24/25 season. I don’t like it one bit, but I could see them doing it.

@LockedOnSharks Месяц назад

RIP Logan Couture.

@georock15 Месяц назад

No thanks to Kunin and Addison, need Gushchin and Shakir!!

@shawn9366 Месяц назад

This team needs Kunin. Hes the only one with some balls and weight on him. Gushchin is still a twig. If you want these new little guys like Bordelau, Celebrini, Will Smith, and Eklund, you need some Kunins and Klims to get some size on the roster and protect them
