What’s the Quinn / Hertl / Vegas story about the size of the team?

For some of these vets like strum, kunin. They’re playing for trades. Joining a playoff team if play is good. Win, win. Sharks will get a pick and vet experience up to trade or prospect and experience. Some mix of either. Team gets a depth piece for playoff run. If all works out to plan. We see how jumping the gun like Detroit can set you back. Proceed as the teams skill determines. We took a huge step this year. Like Montreal/chicago insulate the youth. But don’t skip steps. It’s a process. To many good vets or bad vet contracts can hurt you. Ala Walmart and a 2nd for me. I like what griers doing, I think a right D trade or wavier claim is in the future. Otherwise he’s banking on ok offense, not enough skill defenders to get next top pick. That’s good imo. Another top pick will only help fill out the future or add an ability to trade top end value for what you need. Ala Boyle and burns.

what if Big Money Mike is talking to Shattenkirk

This episode was mid AF fellas. No cap. Thanks for the content 🙏

@1:46:00 - Exactly. Sharks last season was a very small team. The defense was hard to watch.

I take it not going live for Day 2 or at least, the 2nd & 3rd round? Would luv to get your guys thoughts, on who the BPA is, at # 33. Great Coverage guys!

Awesome content you guys! Great production quality also.😊 Very happy with the two picks so far.

I was literally behind you guys lol (saw your Hannah interview "live") Was gonna say "hi" and "where's devereaux!?" Y'all seemed busy and I didn't want to be rude. I'll catch y'all at "the tank" next time!

Don't want any part of Marner. Perimeter player not good for playoff hockey. Not that we are making the playoffs any time soon but I don't want a team leader setting the example for the younger players. Especially for that price. The only upside is that he will sell some tickets

i've been super impressed with the prospect pool he's been able to build

Sophomore surge!

linearly, Patty had Marco Sturm in their first season.. Would be cool to Have Marco Back here as HC to oversee Maclin and Will's rookie seasons

im with moosebruce, I want Dakota Joshua

Couldn’t agree more about the Mack questions, by the third question or so I was starting to cringe. I get that they played against each other a lot this year, I think one question about that is perfectly fine, but man they just kept coming. Felt a bit disrespectful; this is a monumental day for not only our own highly touted prospect but for a young man becoming a professional athlete and you’re asking him questions about another player. Didn’t like it at all.

I want to see a 2nd or 3rd line of C-Celebrini, LW-Will Smith, RW-Kappo Kakko!… send over 2024 42nd overall and a mid prospect (ozzy wiesblatt?) for Kakko

13:31 GAH! Justin Bailey 🤦🏻‍♂️

Malkin was winning cups in that shadow though

Blackhawks Vs Sharks future..

I was yelling when we won the lottery! Eklund, Smith, Celebrini and our other young guys are a great core!

The live was awesome! Soooo excited for the upcoming seasons

Hey Boys, Thanks for the cool show. Unfortunately I was out of town and at the time of the show was in Arizona Cardinal's stadium to catch The Rolling Stones which is another story. (I got a million of 'em hehe) Thus I could not join in as per my usual but, I will tell you that all day my mind kept reminding me about the lottery and I did not check to see what happened until I got home Thursday night (about 3 hours ago) and put on The Fin Factor so your episode banner was the first I heard about how we had done at the lottery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full disclosure I want so badly to disregard the family friendly ethos of the show right NOW!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our day has finally come and we get the player every other team desires! What a great day for Sharks fans. I would agree with you guys. I think if Celebrini signs Will Smith will likely sing and perhaps some others will push to follow? I think this stroke of fortune will likely help us in our coaching search and will also help in our pursuit of appropriate free agents this off season! Basically, regardless of where you are on the NHL radar right now you know that there is a strong wave of young skill coming to the Sharks and more importantly: You won't have to do all the heavy lifting on your own if you are a quality NHL free agent. Thanks SPJ for sweating the details and making this possible. None of us outside the show probably have any idea how much strain this puts on your talents and for you taking these live shows on thank you! I look forward to the next show boys and I wish you and all Fin Factor Faithful nothing but,the best! We got Celebrini, we got Celebrini, We got Celebrini and you can't have no Celebrini....hahaha Cheers, Pete Clovis, CA

Greetings Paul, Aaron, Great Producer Jason, and the great family with The Fin Factor!! GO SHARKS!! Sorry I missed the live stream. Everyone have a wonderful week, weekend, take care, and stay healthy!!

Sorry I missed this live! I texted my brother when it happened. Hype! As long as we don't end up like the Leafs after they got AM34. I have no reason to feel better about Grier than Lou/Dubas/Shanaplan, but here's to a FREAKING FIRST OA my fellow sufferers wooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I’m happy Chicago lost, San Jose deserved a win

Congrats! Time to Celebrinate 🎉

This is the full version we recorded during the live stream, replacing the original video.

The thing about Warsofsky is he was focused on coaching the defense this past season and it's the area on the team that needs the most improvement. Making him head coach would be like failing upwards. I think the Sharks are fine with letting him walk.

Daryl Sutter is a former sharks head coach who led the kings to a Cup in 2014.

David Carle from Denver University

Luke Kunin’s contract will be interesting; do they qualify him or decline and let him become a UFA? He’s got arbitration rights, but given his offensive totals, I doubt he gets the $2.75M cap hit ($3M cash) contract he’s coming off of from any team.

Just FYI; Marc edouard vlasic’s contract is pretty much ‘buyout proof’. Why? Because the signing bonus money of any NHL contract IS NOT included in a buyout. Therefore, in Vlasic’s case, the remaining $4.5M in signing bonus due for 24-25/25-26, is not included. His cap hit and salary portion of his contract would be reduced by a buyout, but not signing bonus component. No way SJ sharks owner Plattner would approve that buyout even if Grier asked, especially with how much dead cap money Plattner is already on the hook for the next few seasons.

Time to bring back Coach Q to the nhl

30 mins is all I could withstand of the insane big brain theories in here. And Aaron, buddy, you don't see the Sharks getting a 1st round pick back on anybody we could theoretically move next year but you DO see the GMs deciding to add a 4th retention slot within the next 365 days because the Sharks are the ONLY team in the NHL with more than 1 retention slot currently occupied beyond the 24/25 season? Seriously though? 🙄

Lets goooo 2 episodes in a week 😤😤😤😤😤

Or the Goldfish snack crackers😂

I call the San Jose Sharks team the Baby Sharks

Sharks had a really bad terrible season. A -150 goal differential with Less then 20 wins and 47 pts in 82 games 😂

Nice chill stream and the studio looks great! I hope you guys get Celebrini.

Do the live show for the draft. I'll be in San Diego, but it'll still be entertaining.

constructive take... spending the first 5 minutes asking people to subscribe is not a great way to start.

If Luca Cagnoni can have a career like, say, another short player, Daniel Brière, I will take it! He was solid with the Coyotes. Use to have season tixs for the Coyotes when he played with them. He was not only a fan favorite, he was also a leader on and off the ice. Had a knack to score, when the Yotes needed it.

Sorry I missed when you guys went live. Listening, while I am at work. Great content, as always. Always getting to the point, and staying informative. Agree with your take on Grier. Grier, is looking to build a dynasty. He is not looking to just try to win one Stanley Cup. Unlike his brothers' strategy with the Dolphins, who, they believe, can just sort of "buy a championship".

newest sub hey guys, I was around for the first season in the Cow Palace so I'm old school Please consider putting in chapters that highlight the topic. For example 25 minutes in and you are talking about the writeoff of a season. Don't get me wrong, its great to be a fan but I came here to listen to a take on the prospects shining which is in the headline.

The Big Cellybrini a la Big Lebowski

Hope Grier uses all that cap space to continue to accrue draft capital. Taking on some money to facilitate trades and getting picks I think is better than signing free agents to make the team better. No signings are going to make this team compete this next year.

love the show guys!
