Karlsson and Burns on that blueline, particularly on the PP, will be scary. They are definitely a Top 3 team in the West, and certainly a contender for the Stanley Cup again. Someone peel J0e down from his ceiling. No need. I broke through to the next floor up like Thor and cartwheeled back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great trade for San Jose, and a mystical one for Ottawa. Quality for quantity and conditional picks all over the place. Ottawa gets mid-card talent, San Jose gets the main event... Being a fan of my team and seeing what other teams are able to accomplish, like this trade or just managing the cap in a semi-competent fashion, goes up my a$$ like a red-hot poker held sideways. It's time to go into my special room and update my manifesto. I don't think this trade would have gone down if John Tavares didn't bolt from the Islanders leaving them without so much as a bag of pucks. I sure DW was stressing that to his inexperienced counterpart in Ottawa. Looking at the trade, the draft picks appear to be close to if Karlsson was signed to an extension. Definitely not on the players side of the trade. But I'm happy because the main core of the Sharks is untouched, and I *would* have paid for any other team to take Demelo. Jesus, Dillon/Braun is now our bottom pairing. Joakim Ryan/Burns has been magic so leave that alone. That leaves...............Vlasic/Karlsson. Good lord that sounds like a match made in heaven. Vlasic is renowned for making partners better than they are. Braun learned a lot from him and that pairing was pure shutdown with excellent breakout capability. No they did not put up 45-50 points, but their transition game, breakout passes and ability to feed forwards made them a solid "Offensive" contributor without putting up points. I am salivating thinking of Karlsson and his own amazing transition game paired with Vlasic's transition game and shutdown capabilities on the left side. Vlasic made Demers look like 5 million bucks to the someone for pete sakes. You may start off being scared any time you see a two on one for the opposition, however soon you will start to instantly look for which defender is back. If it is Vlasic, you will find yourself relaxed like your mother just set you in a warm bubble bath, because you will know there is zero chance a goal is scored. If its Burns, your butt will pucker to the Nth degree, knowing that he will unquestionably make a snow angel on the ice, and either break the play up in a magical display of luck, or create a two on none situation.

Math Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Haaa, now I finally got it: Bergevin and Dorion have a secret deal constisting in 2 things: 1) the DG of the team finishing last in the league gets a free trip to the Caribbean island for 2 months paid by the other, and 2) the first guy to be fired gets $1M in cash from the one remaining in charge.

Puck_Pun Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Of course Karlsson most likely won't be the only bad news this year, considering Melnyk's slash and burn combined with the number of players still under a cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Wilson sent Hoffman to Florida for the next 2 years? It was playing longball 4D chess Bwahaha. Dorion probably thought it was the lesser of two evils to have Hoffman in Florida than Karlsson and played along. Supposedly Wilson backstabbed Dorion by sending hoffman to a divisional rival, yet Dorion punishes him be then giving him a generational defenseman for basically spare parts? Karlsson HATES Hoffman's fiancee(And probably Hoffman) and the court dates and catfighting of their wives is becoming hockey legend. His wife will think of running into her on the beach in Florida and convince him she loves the beaches in San Jose instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can dream, I guess. The podcast I listen to raised the theory that the team would see reduced crowds regardless so Melnyk is slashing and burning to run as lean as possible until the move to LeBreton, at which point boundless optimism says the team will have some quality players they'll actually try to keep. If that's the case, well, good luck with that. People plugged this trade into the NHL 18 game and it said "are you sure this is a good trade?" Which indicates EA calculates trades better than Dorion.

Doug Wilson lives up to his Shark reputation that's for sure. I almost expect to see a phone video going viral of him walking out of Dorion's office holding a new pair of shoes and with a pencil sharpener he saw on the desk tucked under his arm as Dorion walks out in socks to see him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
