Mike Grier: A Man with a Plan

Mike Grier has a long term plan for the San Jose Sharks to be competitive again.

Malkin was winning cups in that shadow though

Malkin went to the finals in his second year, won it in his third year, won it again in his ninth and tenth year. Leon Draisaitl has now played in his tenth year in the NHL and hasn't been to the finals. Malkin had three cups at this point.

@@TheFinFactor I know that’s what I’m saying. He’s been comfortable in the shadow because he’s got rings. I would think Draisaitl would be more comfortable in the shadows if he had something to show for it. I honestly think our team is going to be too young for him and he’s looking for a chance to win a cup in his prime.

I think it would be the perfect time for him to come. He would be THE man in San Jose with a young crop of very good up and coming players. He wouldn't be an old vet going to a team and being a cog in the wheel yet it wouldn't be a rebuilding team either.
