We've chronicled the trials and tribulations of Dallas extensively this season, and it's a miracle that they managed to make a mid season run into the playoffs.
Unfortunately (ha), they're in a heap of trouble right now.
As last Friday's look at the playoff bubble showed, the Stars are in a freefall. Although the locker room issues have subsided, the loss of Morrow, Zubov, Richards, and Petersen is just about as deadly as they come. Morrow and Zubov will not be returning during the regular season, Richards is a longshot to make it back for the last two weeks, and Petersen is in roughly in the same boat as Richards. It looks bleak, and as we mentioned beforehand, Marty Turco needs to be nothing short of stellar down the stretch. The Stars home page agrees wholeheartedly.
Make no mistake about tonight however- the Stars are a dangerous team. Five home losses in a row, a thirst for sweet nectar in the form of standings points, an 0-4 record against the Sharks this season, and the return of pugilist Steve Ott make me a tad wary of a halfhearted effort before D-Day. Granted the Sharks personnel is probably less concerned about impending deals (see Marleau, Patrick) than they were last season, so the cautious approach may be a bit unnecessary on my part.
However, it's not as if our record against Dallas this season tells the entire story. November 8th was due to Marty Turco's careless play with the puck, December 29th was a decent effort that could have swung either way, and the 23rd of February will forever be known as The Evgeni Nabokov show. Not the most convincing set of wins to say the least.
Looking at the current news reports coming from sjsharks.com, the disclusion of Mike Grier from yesterday's skate set off a few alarm bells for me, myself, and I*, but it's just the nature of the beast during the deadline.
* Fairly certain someone else mentioned this in the clusterfuck of comments yesterday as well. Our Secretary of Foreign Affairs Mr. K? Or was it TCY via email? The suddenly un-lurkery Lurker Shark? Who knows.
I'm not sure what sort of return could even be gained from moving him- maybe a package including Kaspar to pick up a depth guy? Even then the salary cap scenario is fairly unfavorable, as the Sharks wouldn't be able to take on a salary of over (roughly) $3.5 M. In retrospect that looks favorable so maybe it's a possibilty. Throw in the fact he is an assistant captain that contributes wonderfully on the penalty kill and it's unlikely. Still, as was mentioned in the Montreal game thread, watch for any scratches. Whether or not they materialize isn't the issue, it's preparing to deal with them as a fanbase that is the issue. Shit, I really have some major issues around this time of year. Ramble city sunset tonight with a bottle of Black Label for me. What does that even mean dude. Is Doug Wilson on the verge of blowing our minds with a deal? I say no, with a 100% chance that the three words that came before that comma are 100% speculation. There's no chance in hell we move anybody big, but is Grier considered an essential part anymore with Marleau, Michalek, and Pavelski stepping up big time on the PK? Then again you want to limit those players minutes down the stretch so they're fresh, but Datsyuk and Zetterberg contribute heavily on the PK so maybe that doesn't make sense what about Cheech and Grier for Keith Tkachuk but why would St. Louis move a key element of their locker room in the midst of a playoff run that seems highly unlikely what about the Pens I've heard rumblings of Jordan Staal he always plays well in NHL 09 in fact I'm playing Pittsburgh in the Cup right now and he had two goals in the first game does that mean something let's go see what Eklund has to say oh yeah we linked to it in the Monday Morning Mixtape he has a 3% chance of being correct that's terrible but it's a chance right you always got to take a chance right what if I miss something when I'm sleeping it's already 3:30 AM on the East Coast a little addition man I really should have paid attention in math class a little addition means in three hours something might break something big I could kill time by watching Arrested Development that's always funny I wonder if anyone got the reference in my post yesterday to Gob's connection to The Final Countdown it made me laugh at least bah I've seen em all already and Michael Cera has lost his charm he's sort of like Will Ferrell now always playing the same character what a great show though man make up your mind do you like Cera's current career path or not who knows ya know what I noticed the guy who plays John Locke in Lost plays Elisha Cuthbert's dad in Old School and Sean Avery made comments about her earlier this season which ties in to tonight's game on some level because they just put him on recall waivers yesterday which has a connection to The Island what the hell is going on man it's too late for this sort of thinking maybe Wilson is looking for a third liner Staal really would be sweet he's solid as hell defensively honestly that might go through whatever just stay up you can't miss the deals and the hot air being blown around by Mike Milbury on TSN thank God you ordered NHL Network this season man Ron McLean is freaking awesome I could read To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf to stay up yeah that seems like a good idea don't fall asleep stay awake stay awake awake stay stay awake stay don't fall asleep don...faull.....asleeeeeeeeee

Wow dude
Now that’s what I call a stream of consciousness. I’m not really expecting DW to make a move, but he has a way of surprising us. Maybe a depth player or some more Cup experience? Maybe? I dunno. Here’s hoping Turco urinates all over himself again tonight. That’s always funny.
You know, I don’t know that I’d say I’ve been suddenly un-lurkery. I think I reached that point a while ago. But don’t worry, I’ll be lurking at work and won’t be here for the game.
GO SHARKS!

As for the Grier comment
It was I, Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
Fear The Fin: Keeping you from your obligations since 2008
Plank and I talked at length about the possibility of trading Grier yesterday...
But I never heard Staal’s name until now. I would support a Staal for Grier deal, but would PIT?
How about this: Crosby needs a scoring winger (he’s pracally begging for one), would the Penguins be interested in a former Rocket Richard Trophy winner? Cheechoo and Kaspar with a 2nd round pick (Either the Sharks pick or Buffalo’s pick) to PIT for Staal? I’d do it in a heart beat. I’d think the Penguins would make that move as well.
If this does happen (and I’d say it has about a 1% chance), the lines would shake out nicely…
PM – JT – DS
MM – JP -RC
Grier – Staal -McGinn/JR
Plihal – JR – Shelley/Lemeuix (Plihal could center this line if JR was on line 3)
If Grier does end up being traded, I think that you could easily make the switch so that JR wears the A.

Didn’t Staal just get a new contract? I believe its something like four years at $4 million per. He’d be yet another overly skilled third liner (he’s more suited for the second, but in PIT he’s rightfully behind both Crosby and Malkin, and here he’d be behind Thornton, Pavelski, and Marleau if Marleau plays as a center again) that’s paid too much money to fit under the cap. We’d likely have to give up Goc and/or Plihal as well just for monetary reasons.
Oh, and Grier has a NTC, which I doubt he would waive, and it would make things a little tense in the locker room.
Staal is at 3.5MM per yr until 2011-2012.
Although I do agree that that is a hefty number, it’s practically a wash with Cheechoo leaving, as he’s making 3.5 MM next year and 4.25MM in 2010-2011.
I think Marleau is pretty set as a wing now (he’s having his best NHL year), so Staal would fit in this season on the third line, as I don’t see Pavs going anywhere. Couture will have to be accomodated eventually, so we might have to end up re-trading Staal in the future. However, I think that he’d give this team a HUGE boost this year… right now that’s all I’m worried about.
I think Goc will be traded this year anyways (during the offseason). I don’t see the problem with having high priced skill on line three, especially when two of our top six forwards (Seto and Pavs) are relatively cheap untill 2010-2011.
Grier will probably not be traded, but it’s something to think about.

the odds of grier being traded for staal
are about the same as us trading cheechoo for lecavalier, that is just absolutely absurd
I don't like you Detroit.
Agreed
but how about Cheech for Staal? That makes some sense. Although I’m sure we’d have to toss in an old pair of skates, or a draft pick, or something

Yea, that's my idea exactly.
Grier for Staal would never happen…
Cheech/Kaspar + a Pick? Who knows?
Although, the trade was shot down by Frank D over at Pensburgh.

but now thats a legitamate possibility, well a hell of a lot more than the grier thing, one thing i like about this is that crosby has been needing a shooter i believe gonchar is back now though so that helps
I don't like you Detroit.
Just my opinion
But DW has been pretty clear about the chemistry thing. I don’t think we’ll see a BIG move. I can see a 3rd line center, or extra D with experience. But I don’t think he’s gonna break up anything we already have.

no offense to mike grier he's a great quality guy,
but he just has no business playing on a third line in the nhl in my opinion

imo
Staal has way more upside than grier.
skating, puck handling, ability to score on a breakaway…

if sj got staal it would be a huge upgrade skill wise. but i agree about the locker room thing. intangibles are critical.

Speaking of all the trade stuff
anyone know what’s up with Kyle McLaren? Is he still over in Worcester, or did he already get moved? If he’s still there, why wouldn’t defense-needing teams take a look?
Mclaren is still with Worcester...
he’s played 17 games and tallied six assits.
Although I thought he’d be a trade possibility earlier in the season, he’s not moving like he used to. It’s pretty safe to say his NHL days are over. Poor guy, always liked him.

Thanks
I remember there being a lot of talk of DW trying to trade him at the beginning of the season, then he it seemed like he just dropped off the face of the earth. I used to call out his hits to my girlfriend, “that guy is skating with his head down, there goes McLaren to smash him into the boards,” then wham. I always liked him too
Yeah...
But he’s very cautious about the rumors, and makes the note that the Sharks could be interested in the Islanders’ Jon Sims. Two scouts were spotted at the Avs-Islanders game last night – but scouting doesn’t translate to a done deal.

stab-its is really hesitant to do anything since he took a few dumb penalties earlier in the season. at least developing mcginn and vesce has an upside for next season ala gooch.

And this
And one other thing: No matter what may be circulating out there, Jonathan Cheechoo isn’t going anywhere. "That player is not in play."
I find that comment odd,
why wouldn’t DW consider such a trade, cheech hasn’t been great this year.
I don't like you Detroit.
BREAKING NEWS
CHEECHOO TRADED. READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE.
In all seriousness though, that’s a weird thing to say at the deadline, and sort of limits your hand. He was really the last roster forward that I think is touchable who would return something:
*Grier is out with the injury- no one will take him at this point.
*Top two lines are untouchable in my opinion.
*Kaspar is obviously still in play, but that doesn’t clear enough room under the cap and doesn’t really bring anyone over that would make an impact (theoretically, but who knows maybe an Eastern Conference GM hasn’t watched enough Sharks games).
*Goc injured, unlikely he gets moved.
Only person left is Ehrhoff, but what do we use for? Do we roll the dice with Semenov and trade Ehrhoff for a forward, or pick up a veteran rental defenseman (clearing cap space for next year in the process)?
Who knows, I have no idea. None. Absolutely zero.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
it's all goofy
I’m with you Cheech was the one guy who could be traded and make room under the cap. There really isn’t much else DW can do at this point. Waivers, I suppose. I certainly don’t favor trading Ehrhoff and putting all my eggs in the Semenov basket, no matter how far he has come lately (or how bad Ehrhoff’s aim from the point has become again.)
At this point, I don’t see a blockbuster deal, nor do I see one needed. Rather a 3rd line guy with EXPERIENCE. Something over a portion of a season, like we are getting with all the call ups.

weird thing for DW to say at the deadline...
I see it as offering peace of mind to the players in his locker room. The trade deadline has to be stressful for all involved (to varying degrees). Cheechoo, who has been struggling to find consistency in his game since the Rocket run, probably had his bags packed while the rest of the guys were inking their ’Dear Jonathan" letters.
And maybe Cheech was ‘in play’ at some point, but DW wasn’t pleased with the offers.

GAHH
I fell for it :(
It got my hopes up if Cheech was traded alone we could have got a good deal.
Good thing you did that because I was tempted to do the same
FTF: WAATMF (Where Acronyms are too much fun)
I don't know
I don’t find it all that odd when you factor in DW not wanting to mess with locker room chemistry. Cheechoo is a HUGE crowd draw, and he’s been in that locker room for awhile now. He’s considered a core guy. Trading him would throw both the players ans the fans off. Not a good time in the season to do something THAT huge, even if he has been struggling.
That said, if DW thinks he can get more for Cheech over the summer, I could see him moving him then. If he preforms well in the playoffs, it will bring his value back up.
All speculation on my part.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com
Good points
As we were talking about chemistry earlier, no matter what mattman thinks of it, Cheech is part of the core and we are not privy to how it all works inside the locker room. He could be one of those guys that would have an extremely detrimental effect if traded.

Nik Antropov would be a great addition to the Sharks. 6’6, small cap hit, solid 20-25 goal guy.
With Cheech out of the market though I doubt it comes to fruition. Wishful thinking really can be a pain in the membrane.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
Yeah, I think it has to do a lot with the current economic market (which is probably the most obvious answer I could give you heh heh).
Brian Burke talked about it yesterday on TSN (can’t seem to find the link though)- the cap is going to go down in two years, so people are pretty wary of bringing on long term expensive deals. Coupled with the fact that owners are feeling the penny pinch and you’ve got yourself a stale market.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
I think there has been a lot more waiver wire activity up to this point than anything else.
It looks like teams are dumping salary to get their trades in under the cap, maybe with the hope that a lot of teams wont have the cap space to pull these guys off of waivers.
Once they clear waivers they can stay and play in the minors and then be called up or traded as needed. The team doesnt lose the player (fingers crossed!), and creates cap space for a trade deadline player.
Does that sound likely given the current cap situation?
Sharks.com now has the official word on J.R. and Grier
Here. Lines are also mentioned – Staubitz with Cheech and Plihal.
Fear The Fin: Keeping you from your obligations since 2008
Not for a game against Dallas!
Dallas has maybe two skilled players left. Their best hope is to play physical, and catch a weakened team on the ropes.
I think it’s a good strategy. If Dallas takes a run at patty or joe, there is a guy or two on every other San Jose line that could take his head off.
Line 2 – Clowe
Line 3 – Staubitz
Line 4 – Shelley/Lemieux
Beefing up like that might make the Stars think twice.
He can, but you dont want your best player engaging in fistycuffs. Either for the time he would sit in the box, or for the time on the IR prior to the playoffs.
Anyone remember when Clowe jacked his hand up pulling some dude up off the ice during a fight so he could give him another couple of whacks? We dont need that happening to Joe.
i never said he should fight,
just that he doesn’t need someone else to take care of him
I don't like you Detroit.
I think Marleau could probably handle himself pretty well in a fight too. But on a team that now has three enforcers, their role is to do just that. As much as Joe and Patty are big boys and they are capable of taking care of themselves, they dont have to, and shouldnt have to!
We are too deep for those guys to have to do that.
What happened after Marleau took a dirty hit recently? First guy in? Ehrhoff!
The team has to have each others backs and they know the value of their stars. That’s why you have a guy like Ehrhoff taking a stand.
Agree with you Morti- factor in the current injuries to Grier and Roenick and we’re struggling with depth. No need to have Joe/Patty throwing down the gloves and risking injury.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
i'll go ahead and quote myself
i never said he should fight
all i was saying was that joe can defend himself if he wants too and think thats clearly evident
I don't like you Detroit.
Sorry for the time gap, I'm just catching up...
Check this out though. You can’t defend yourself when you’re face down. (Curiously, Ehrhoff is first in again). It was only a little face washing and pushing though. I’m in the “If you illegally hit our superstar, you’re going to have to fight” camp. Why have enforcers if they’re not going to stick up for star players getting run from behind. What possible motivation did Cleary have for not doing that again? On the other side, the announcers and commenters both think Joe was asking for it and was trying to draw a call because he saw Cleary coming.
Personally, I’d love it if Joe beat up Ott again (my dad actually just texted me about the possibility of seeing Angry Joe tonight, lol), but he’s much too valuable to have him be kept off the ice for five minutes. I mean, Clowe is valuable too, but Joe just has that whole “elite player” vibe. Plus, Joe’s favorite punching bag is banned from fighting, so Joe would probably get an instigator or something if he tried.
that would be awesome, ott would go running again though like you said
and thus the instigator
I don't like you Detroit.
this team is plenty physical,
without staubitz that have displayed that on a nightly basis in my opinion
I don't like you Detroit.
Grier is a big part of that physicality. I dont have his checking stats but I am fairly sure he is throwing one or two more checks than McGinn.
lets remember now,
the guy you are supporting on the third line has 0 yeah count em 0 goals this season with the wocester sharks.
I don't like you Detroit.
Tone it down a bit here mattman, Staubitz is only here for a couple games. Tonight isn’t a must win we’ll be fine.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
Another stat?
Brad Staubitz recently set a franchise record for the WorSharks, get 42 PIMs in a single game. I think he fills his roll pretty well (and, looking at the boxscore, it was exclusively through things like fighting, roughing, game misconduct, etc. and no hooks/holds).
I am going to put my hand up and say that I like Staubitz.
He serves his role well, and I think he has a higher playing proficiency than a guy like Jody Shelley.
I can see Staubitz as a future Shark, as long as fighting isnt outlawed, we are always going to need our guys like Staubitz.
A couple more years and we will inevitably send Shelley to the ‘glue factory’, and bring in a younger guy to do the same thing like Staubitz.
i agree,
i like staubitz more than shelley, you just can’t have 2 of these players on the team at once
I don't like you Detroit.
I understand that, but we’re not looking for a big time scorer tonight. I mentioned it way up in the thread that he’ll be here for a couple games and McGinn will get the call up.
Dallas always plays us physical. They’re dying for points, coming off a five game losing streak, have gone 0-4 against the Sharks this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ott tries to lop somebody’s head off in the first five minutes, and frankly prefer Staubitz roaming the ice over McGinn.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
i'm an advocate of vesce he's been really hot lately,
if staubitz is here for just tonight i’m not as mad
I don't like you Detroit.
agreed
My money is on Staubitz taking Ott on early. Let’s hope it’s like Rivet on Ott…I loved that

I think the correct phrase is “how badly he kicks his ass.”

Well, you are correct
But since Ott’s essentially a total ass, I was trying to be specific about the part of the body that should get kicked

Brendan Morrison
Has been so-so this year, but I think it might be a product of his situation. He was placed on waivers yesterday, and although the Sharks will be one of the last teams with an opportunity to claim him, he could provide that veteran third liner with some scoring pop that we’ve been looking for. Honestly, watch out for this one. I would be thrilled if the Sharks picked him up.
That being said (if my knowledge of the salary cap is up to date), we might be right on the bubble in terms of cap space. If Grier and Roenick are placed on IR however, I’m fairly certain we can squeeze him in with about three pence to spare.

I don't like you Detroit.
Mattman, you should definitely pick it up, right down your alley. The package comes along with NHL Center Ice as well as allowing you to see second round games that aren’t carried on Versus.
It’s roughly $160 at the beginning of the year, but totally worth it. I’m pretty sure they have a free preview going on this week too…..
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
It sure fills in the gaps
Between Sharks games, and helps stay tuned in with the East…..I watch a lot of Caps, Guins, and B’s games (just cannot stomach watching the Devils). And the price is right for ALL YEAR entertainment (a heck of a lot better than NFL Sunday Ticket)
Sometimes
Depends on what’s happening and what the games are. I definitely watch Boston and Jersey and some Caps games. If Dallas or Detroit are playing someone that makes it look like a good game I tune in. Hell, I love hockey. I watch it all the time.

Possible news out of Buffalo (courtesy of Puck Daddy)
Meanwhile, Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News made waves today by reporting that Flyers goalie Marty Biron could be headed back to the Buffalo Sabres in a three-team deal that would have Derek Morris going to Philly and Maxim Afinogenov (among others) going to the Phoenix Coyotes.
As a bandwagon Sabres fan, this would remind me of the old days. Seeing Maxim Afinogenov in our division would make me sad that it didn’t work out for him in Buffalo :-(

Oh - update
Yeah, about that: Maybe someone should ask Biron if he’s going to waive his no-trade clause. Because the Flyers haven’t as of this afternoon.

Caveat – they like to swear. A lot. Don’t overplay the Sharks card too much – emphasis on “Go Blues” and “F*** Detroit.” The last time we played each other, they incorporated “Goc” as a swear word (totally serious – they still use it even when we’re not playing).
I might drop by here and there – represent FTF well, idunno ;-)

Speaking of the Blues game
Hossa is still on the ice (5 min later) after going head first into the boards. Got shoulder checked, fell on the ground, slid into the wall. They showed the clip that he got hurt on against the Sharks. He had neck injury from that (and missed the rest of that game).
never good
to see a guy get hurt. Update those of us who can’t see the game?

I just checked it out on the SLGT boards
It looks like they’re upset that Polak got called for roughing – said Hossa was diving? Can’t tell without seeing a replay…
Fear The Fin: Keeping you from your obligations since 2008
It was a fairly straight forward shoulder check. Contact was initiated almost on the faceoff dot. Hossa fell and slip a couple of feet into the boards head first. He was down for a good 5-10 minutes. The announcers said the players were acting like it wasn’t anything too serious because they were skating away and he waved as he was carted off…
