Media Availability (2/1): Grier

Sharks General Manager Mike Grier speaks to the media following a trade with the Dallas Stars on February 1, 2025.

[@ThingsWorseThanDeath]

Mike G is just absolutely nailing this rebuild so far. So grateful to have a GM who’s this damn good at his job on our side. Can we turn that Dal 1st rd pick and someone else into Nemec this off-season? That would be the cherry on top if Mike can get that done.

[@camc9225]

Absolutely wonderful GM we got here boys

[@zakkroft1842]

Trust the process

[@nathanprime6]

Extactly!

[@steveny8289]

Pain now will payoff later.

[@elem3ntals]

Trade that had to be done for the rebuild and Grier got great value back! The team desperately needs help on the Defense and these draft picks should be focused on that or used in a trade to bring in a young defensemen

[@SupremeFallacy1776]

Yes we need to trade the Dallas first round for Nemec or hope for Blake Fiddler

[@andrewdejesus1081]

Grier made lemonade out of lemons 🍋 remember we got granlund because of the karlsson trade to the penguins. Happy we got a 1st round pick out of Karlsson

[@samususx]

2 1sts!

[@Shags_98]

We love you Grier. You just keep making good moves, and excited to see how we grow steadily through this rebuild.

[@Awesomelegand]

Big money Mike! Which young guys will join Shakir to the show??

[@3lackavar]

Dallas' 1st, Sharks 2nd and Kasper Halttunen for Simon Nemec and a 4th. Get it done Griersy.

[@tysonsenger4230]

Kasper???? Ah man I wanna see what he can do tho!!

[@kenjackson6256]

Boy, Dallas was REALLY hard up, a FIRST ROUNDER for these two? AND a third/fourth to top it off. I wonder who Grier will pull up from the Cuda to replace them? My picks: Graf or Cardwell and Thompson or Mukh...

[@mattmorris419]

Graf has got the hustle, just needs to gain some size and refine his skills. Definitely a top pick for me too

[@89ty3]

Graf is ready imo.. idk about Muk

[@SupremeFallacy1776]

Graf and Thompson for sure

[@3lackavar]

Muk was ready at the start of the year but the injury really hurt him. He's finally getting back to where he needs to be.

[@kenjackson6256]

@@3lackavar Looks like I got 3 our of 4 right! and Mukh did better offensively, d-wise, so-so...

[@Sharks256]

Sheng just keeps trying to ask the same question in a different way when he doesnt get an answer, its super annoying

[@CelebriniSharks]

The MGGM 30 for 30 will win an Oscar

[@EmilianoZapata-s8g]

Anything to get bigger and better defence, love the dudes but can’t win if you’re depending on askarov to stop other teams from scoring

[@brando7266]

So by Grier's 5th yr, we should be contending for a playoff spot, ?

[@davidbarnett8617]

Grier should just resign. He has done more damage in two years than anyone could have imagined. Every GM in the league has taken full advantage of his incompetence and lack of experience. Only a moron would trade not one but two Norris trophy winners. And then a 40 goal scorer. And more veteran NHL professionals. And then a serviceable goalie for a beer league goalie. Grier has transformed a formidable team, a Cup contender, into a perennial bottom dweller. Grier should resign

[@mattmorris419]

At what point do you stop selling off players for picks and actually do the rebuild part of the rebuild

[@Jayesuhn]

This is our first big trade of the year. Prior years had these deals theougjojt

[@imthebeatplug_8319]

Probably next season we start to acquire bigger FAs. Granlund cost us nothing in the EK65 trade. We still have to get younger. This team wasn't going to be successful this season. Trust the process. Grier and Co. are doing a stellar job that will set this team up for success for many many years.

[@jamesharle1754]

Ceci 31 and granlund 32 these players aren't going to get any better, the rebuild has already started but takes time, be patient the sharks will be good again in a few years
