Steven Ellis Talks Sharks Prospects, World Juniors

This podcast is awesome!

Personal new year dreams. 1. Win the cup 2. Couture and vlassic get at least one more game in their legendary careers. Hoping for more. 3. Health for everyone. 4. More draft luck. 5. As best as able, consistent progression.

Dawson Mercer signed 3x$4M. He had played 3 seasons and scored in the 30-50 point range. Kirill Marchenko signed 3x$3.85M after a half season at 25 points and a full season at 42 points. It's turned into an amazing bargain for Columbus as he's now on pace for 86 points this season! I think Zetterlund should expect a contract in that neighborhood. Maybe there's a bit of inflation after the cap jumps again this season.

You talking about Landon DuPont the dman? I thought he was due for the year after McKenna (he’s super young) but super super great talent

Musty really harmed his development trajectory and reputation with the trade request drama. Might be a guy worth exploring a trade with because Chernyshov and Halttunen can bring similar game. I was never high on Musty to start as he's a bit of a primadonna. Maybe package him with picks for a puck moving rhd.

[@benjamingardner157]

Musty presumably asked for a trade because Sudbury does not play a game that is conducive to pro development. He left Sharks camp looking to develop pro habits. Sudbury cares primarily about winning, which is not always the best for a prospect's growth.

[@purebloodedamericanjesusguy]

Yeah that's fake news that he wanted to leave the sharks. He wanted to leave Sudbury.

[@3lackavar]

No one said he requested a trade from the sharks. No idea where you got that

[@purebloodedamericanjesusguy]

@@3lackavar people make click bate videos implying he wanted a trade from the sharks. I probably assumed he read one of those click bate titles. I don't understand what's wrong with him asking to be put on a team where he could get a better development. Maybe that's a good sign he's insightful and cares about his development and isn't afraid to speak up. I don't know much about this though
