I guess it’s time for me to move on.

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

though I think it shows how old we are and how young others are when they don’t know what I am talking about.

Nice work adragon. I’m a big fan of Malhotra and his defensive prowess, but the issue with him is that he’s a center and we already signed Nichol/Mitchell to work down the middle.

Anyone over 32/33 I think we should avoid as well, unless they’re a top-six talent. On the downswing of their careers, injury prone, putting off the future etc.

Other than that, can’t say I feel strongly either way. You’re ruffling through the bargain bin at this point and there’s not going to be a whole lot of surprises.

I’d like Marcel Goc, Jeremy Roenick, Alexei Seminov, and Owen Nolan! I don’t want any of this new people! I want the same old losers we had before. I want to win with our old losers so I don’t have to call them losers anymore.

I know Owen Nolan is not a FA but he should retire as a Shark along with Marleau.

If the Sharks didn’t feel comfortable with their younger guys. However, I really do believe DW is going to give one of Joslin, Moore, Demers, or Petrecki a chance to succeed and take big minutes.

But you do have a weakness from the back end if you choose anyone but Joslin or Demers, since the two others are pureley defensive D Men. Even still, in a system such as McLellan’s where so much offense is generated through shots from the point, I don’t know if you trust Demers or Joslin to bring that for you.

MAB would be a perfect fit for McLellan’s system, and I think he would have been a realistic target if Blake wasn’t re signed so early. He’s pretty much a poor man’s Dan Boyle, though, so I don’t know if having both of them together would be smart.

Moral of the story, while I think that MAB would be nice to have, I’d rather save a little coin and let the young guys handle it.

The choking dog Sharks are who they are..DW and his band of losers are on schedule for another good regular season and a playoff season of letting everyone down again..DW just doesn’t get it..These core players just don’t have the intestinal fortitude or fire to step their game up in the playoffs..Until Thornton and Nabokov or gone, this team will never ever do anything in the playoffs..Little Joe is the single most overrated player in the NHL..He is a pussy who doesn’t score goals and even his assists have gone south..From over 120 points to under 90 in two years..He is paid like a superstar but he is as far from one as you can get..

Get his shitty attitude and underachieving ass out of here while someone might take his terrible contract from us..If his scoring goes down anymore, his contract is unmovable..He has proven over and over again, he can’t take his game to a superstar level now even during the regular season and he might have the single WORST playoff reputation in the NHL..Move him for someone with
heart..

What has Mitchell done to deserve the contract he got?? There are two things that Mitchell has shone, one he can skate fast, the other is he knows how to get hurt..Does that deserve a three year 4.5 million dollar contract??

He would be a very nice pickup and could add some serious young scoring talent to the team..I would rather see DW pick him up rather than Heatley..

His addition would certainly change some of the dynamics on the team, which the Sharks need desperately..

He’s awful. I had a roommate who was a Wild fan, so I got to watch him play some games, and he’s terrible. He isn’t very good defensively, he coughs up the puck a lot , and I don’t think he has much offensive upside. In short, I DO NOT want Martin Skoula on the Sharks.

I would be completely upset with DW if he even considered Martin Skoula, and I would call for his head if he actually picked Skoula up.

As suggested, most appear to be cold leftovers in the FA buffet, and the Sharks are not really in a position to grab a tray. I’d rather keep Cheech – you’re savvy to my reasons why. I’d likely make an awful GM because I’d be devoted to the relationship, which would override logistics.

I like Army, but he hasn’t seen postseason play in nearly a decade (should this be paramount? I don’t know) . If we’re looking to acquire an aging center, I’d rather bring back Buster.

For ‘Woostah’ I’d like to see the Sharks grab Spurgeon. Small frame, big heart, potentionl 4th line energy player (think Mark Smith). Needs to stay healthy. (and I may be showing by Stockton Thunder bias, though I don’t care for Rohlfs or Goulet)

As for blueliners, I’d lean more toward MAB, only because I’m more familiar with his style of play on a ‘defense first’ team. You state Seidenberg as your fave. Aside from age and point production, what other attributes intrigue you?

he’s the only guy i’ve heard of, so i pick him :)

I think they should sign Seidenberg, as they could probably used at least one more experienced defensemen, and he put up 30 points last year, but only five goals. Bergeron would be nice also Moore would be a nice add, but I am not sure how much he would help not getting top six minutes like he did for part in Toronto. Michel Ouellet I do not know much about, but he has put up some good numbers (besides last year in the AHL, which doesn’t really help). They all seem to be viable options, but I would go on the younger side and Oulett to add some scoring.
