Off the Post September 3

Let's see what's floating around the interwebs, hmmmm?

Plank answers salary cap questions and muses about Phil Kessel.
Fear The Fin's fantasy hockey league is up and running, as well as FTF's Night At The Tank.
Taylor Pyatt, devious s.o.b. that he is, breaks the heart of his one true love, That'll Cheech You, and signs with the ~~Saskatoon~~ Phoenix Coyotes.
Devin Setoguchi will be at the Sharks Store on September 10 from 4:30 to 6:30pm - note the extended time (normally only 90 min.). If you ask nicely he might write "The Gooch," just for you. "Goochy Goochy Goo" is definitely out, however... I've already tried.
Did you say to hell with the economic downturn (and our postseason flameout) and renew your season tickets anyhow? Lucky bastard. (If you have photos, we want to see them)
Former Sharks pugilist (and Californian by birth) Scott Parker is retiring. George Parros' mustache just wept a little.
Speaking of former Sharks, Mark Bell got invited to the Flyers training camp. And the award for the most maladjusted squad in the NHL goes to....
Remember the "Dany Heatley to the Sharks in the next 48 hours" bullshit from the Ottawa Sun? Those 48 hours will turn one month old tomorrow.

Now that Roberto Luongo is inked to 12 years in Vancouver, Nucks Misconduct wonders what will become of Cory Schneider.
With a potential Phoenix relocation in mind, Lighthouse Hockey reminds us of a curious clause in the NHL bylaws.
Glenn Anderson and Tie Domi will be two of the NHLers on a Canadian version of Dancing with the Stars - egad.
NOT HOCKEY = Ever wanted to see Nirvana perform covers of Public Enemy, Megadeth, and Bon Jovi? This is as close as you'll get. Absolutely hilarious.

"A lot of people say they’ve been season ticket holders since the Cow Palace and that’s (slightly before) I was born," Setoguchi, who was born in 1987, said.

Looks like the Gooch needs to brush up on his franchise history a bit. I blame his white shades.

My sister calls him a douchebag.

Not because he acts like one or does douchebaggy things, simply just cause he looks like one.

If you ask nicely he might write “The Gooch,” just for you. “Goochy Goochy Goo” is definitely out, however… I’ve already tried.

Would it be too much to ask for him to sign my gooch? I wouldn’t wash it for a year. Never do anyway*.

*It’s late as hell, but I think that might be the funniest thing I’ve ever said. Probably will wake up to a mountain of regret though. And an email from my mother. I’m pretty sure she reads the comments.

And this is why that even tho my boys follow hockey, I like them to stay off the sites I’m on. And I don’t go on the sites they are on. We don’t need to know each others’ thoughts, weird comments, whatever.

Funny. :)

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

I wonder how many people...

got the gooch comment. Hilarious. I think of that every time someone calls him that. On a side note, what the hell were you doing up posting on this at quarter to four in the morning!?

why Seto is a better nickname! Or maybe just an important reason.

That was pretty damn funny. At least until the thought of how that scene would play out popped in my head. So I think I’ll just stick with “Seto” too.

Yes, yes I did. But I’m pretty sure I won’t be getting a visit from anyone other than Mr FedEx. I’m betting I’m just outside the Sharks travel radius…

Antioch. You might have heard of it; it’s been in the news lately . . .

Actually, no....

It’s still the first two weeks of school, so I haven’t included local news in my daily regimen. What’s been happening? Something with the delta?

I knew about that, but didn’t realize there was an Antioch connection. Interesting… or more accurately, troubling…

A co-worker here lives there as well … 3 miles from that famed site … she’s always complaining about the commute to Emeryville every day. And even tho I’ve heard of it, still can’t figure out where in the bay area it is. :)

by ang6666 on Sep 3, 2009 10:51 AM PDT up reply actions

The commute does suck. There’s pretty much only one way in or out of the area, so the highway becomes a parking lot. Thankfully, I get to telecommute most days.

If you take 680 north to Concord, then go east about 15 miles, there ya go.

maybe I should put it this way … I’m directionally challenged … I’ve been in that area a few times … and never know if I’m going east, west, south or whatever … all I know is I’m following what my gps tells me to do

that’s what I love bout my area … there is water around (bay & ocean) so I always know by looking at the body of water which direction is which … :)

Kudos to you

for being a STH from that far away. Now if they’d actually connect BART to downtown SJ, it wouldn’t be so bad.

That would make getting to the Tank (and more importantly, getting home) a lot easier!

48 hours

you’re confusing Canadian time with U.S. time, they use the metric system so there’s no telling really how many US days it takes to make a Canadian hour. huh?

I'll drink that! oh...I'll drink TO that.

Heh, I’m sure the Ottawa Sun just meant 48 days.

This article on Yahoo

has the Sharks as Kessel’s most likely destination at this point. Seems like the Bruins are in much the same position we found ourselves in before our recent roster moves, so Boston might not be in a good spot to put up much of a fight.

by Chicago Shark on Sep 4, 2009 9:46 AM PDT reply actions

I wonder if this means

Cheechoo is going to Boston.

by Conico do Mayo Miracle on Sep 4, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions

Not sure about that

it looks like Boston isn’t in a position to be able to take on salary like that. I think they quoted Pollack as saying the Sharks have the requisite picks that would be needed in order for a deal to be made, so I’m thinking we’d trade picks for Kessel’s rights. As I’ve said before, I’m no expert on the intricacies of trades or rights acquisitions, so the picks may just be a “conditional” part of any deal involving Kessel and his rights. Someone smarter than myself could illuminate this…

by Chicago Shark on Sep 4, 2009 12:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Pollak was referencing the picks it would take to extend an offer sheet to Kessel. Because he’s an RFA, picks will be awarded to Boston if he signs elsewhere.

If we were to trade for Kessel’s rights, it would have to be picks, because Boston can’t sign Kessel now, let alone absorb more salary.

Moral of the story is, Kessel might come, and Cheechoo might leave, but it won’t be a 1 for 1 swap. Cheechoo IS NOT going to Boston.

That's what I figured

I must have missed the RFA status, I thought he was a UFA. Again, I just watch hockey, I’d be a terrible front office guy.

by Chicago Shark on Sep 4, 2009 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Do any of you assholes ever listen to what I say? San Jose doesn’t have the cap space to solely move Cheechoo and bring in Kessel:

A potential move for Kessel has had me thinking a lot since the Ehrhoff deal, especially with the lack of draft picks next season. The flip side to that of course is that Kessel is likely worth a first and third round pick and is young enough where San Jose would not be devoid of any semblance of youth. The forwards in the system look fairly barren at this point, with only Logan Couture seeming like a lock for a roster spot in the near future.

If DW nabs Kessel, is it safe to assume Michalek may be moved? He may get you the draft picks you gave up for Kessel, although DW would be in the same position he was last Friday- dealing from a position where he needs to dump salary. As we saw then, the return is going to be lackluster at best. I’ve ran the numbers on CapGeek (with Kessel coming in at $4.0 M), and it seems just moving Cheechoo doesn’t get you under the cap if San Jose plans on carrying a 22 man roster.

Think of a Kessel offer sheet this way- essentially you’re trading Michalek, a first, and a third for Kessel and a prospect/pick/depth guy, losing a penalty killer but gaining a more proficient goal scorer in the process.

There’s all the relevant pick information in there, as well as Boston’s salary structure. Ya bums.
