I'm interested to see how Grier's approach to this team turns out. You can never be sure about a GM, but I'm optimistic.

[@AstralScourge]

He's solid

[@Retr-vc4wn]

Grier has been cooking this off-season

[@yoholmes273]

Always likes Grier. He will do what he always does, make a difference.

[@clydeblair9622]

Pardon my ignorance. What is Grier's experience?

[@JesterRace139]

I think he's doing a fantastic job so far

[@MajinBuu91]

Grier is cooking right now and finally able to do what he wants with the team…

[@HitmanHockeyCards]

If Eiserman is available and he doesnt draft him, he definately isnt cooking, he pretty much set himself on fire. Eiserman and WIll Smith already know how to play together and Celebrini and Eiserman are close friends... At 11 you take Eiserman, Catton, Konsta or Senneke. If he traded up to draft Yakemchuk, hes a bigger bozo than he was last year.The dmen that will be available at 11 are not the big rated Dmen of this draft. Draft Eiserman and you have the potential 1st line of the future. He screwed up last year by passing on the best scorer of the draft in Michkov, dont let it happen 2 years in a row.

[@MK-jc6zz]

@@HitmanHockeyCards Eiserman's completely one-dimensional and is free-falling down the draft list.

[@HitmanHockeyCards]

@@MK-jc6zz They NEED a scoring winger. And he already knows Will Smiths game.

[@HitmanHockeyCards]

@@MK-jc6zz Also, never forget all the idiots that passed on Michkov cause "hes russian and wont come over" - Grier being one of them. Michkov was also the best scorer in his class like eiserman. Grier really should not pass on the top goal scorer 2 years in a row. You can land quality Dmen in the later rounds way more easily than a pure scorer

Grier seems to be patient in his approach (while also not hesitating to scorch the team if they’re Not trying), which is a good sign for SJ.

[@ericcalbonero146]

Love this move for the Sharks to get up to 11. Hated the idea that they'd reach for a D-man like Solberg at 14. Way more options here to grab a top 6 D-man or one of the top forwards if they slip to 11

[@dennishaley2821]

now the Sabres can draft 9 players who are undersized and their names are unpronounceable please help us!!

[@jerellane4845]

[@AnthonyStorm11]

At this point Hockey Guy it may be worth a video to just.look at Mike Grier's moves this past week.

[@ekgoalie3429]

It doesnt make any sense to buy out Atkinson. Hes got 1 year left, the team isnt going to win the cup this year, and they could possibly offload him for a pick at the deadline.

[@michaeljaques77]

Shannon, you just think back-to-back picks are great because Sedin's. :P That said, I'd have to say they are the best ever back-to-back team picks I can remember, EVER! :)

[@sharkhaos_probably]

The witchcraft that was pulled to acquire both Sedins still amazes me to this day.

[@jaemin7977]

Looks like the sabres GM talked to brandon beane the GM of the buffalo bills because he made the same move our football team did and i love it. More assets is solid

[@damonmusha6504]

Works for both clubs. This allows us to land someone like Yakemchuk or Silayev as we need to build our blue line. For Buffalo there’s a good chance that Eiserman will be available at 14. Sharks still have two picks in round two. Feels like a good move for both teams.

[@kyledouglas1394]

San Jose should get Brent Burns 2.0 in Zayne Parekh

[@rbrucerye]

It is fun when teams have back to back picks ... unless it's Boston.

[@kingdom7777777]

I wonder if the Sharks try to jump in the draft again. It looks like they are trying to land one of the big 6 Defensemen. It makes a lot of sense for them to go for it. You would think one of the big 6 should still be there, but I think there are a few teams that would be open to trading down.

[@starkiller34]

Demko, DeSmith AND Shillovs is the way to go. Look to so many teams in the playoffs. You need 3 goalies. Heck, look at your own run this year.

[@leviklynstra8975]

Of they had to have only two tho, Desmith would probably go. Shilovs was really good in the playoffs, and well, demko is demko

[@TheScotian82]

Close..Closer. Silovs

[@Martinoalsrup]

There is only one problem, cap space.

[@chasewighton4064]

I agree, having those three was extremely fortunate for Vancouver’s playoffs, if we didn’t have a competent backup and a third as dependable as Silovs ended up being, the Canucks would have been out much sooner. I would like to keep all three and hopefully give Demko more rest so that these injuries don’t keep happening, I just don’t know if the cap money is there.

[@44Glendon]

GREAT NEWS TO ALL Y'ALL CANUCKS IS FANS LIKE SHANNY! Tyler Myers is back with Vancouver Baby😆 3x$3Mil. 🤑

[@rubberduckie5518]

The fact that Canucks GM Patrik Alvin mentioned in his interview he spoke with Silovs on his future with the team and he expects him to be on the big team next year leads me to believe Demko may get traded when you consider they expressed interest in resigning DeSmith.

[@SwifferTWetJetMop]

Sharks are trading up in front of the Flyers and Wild (2 teams that need scoring) to grab Cole Eiserman

[@mgourley1234]

Admitedly I'm not a deep thinker when it comes to what the Sharks may or may not do, but with Smith and Mack in the (hopefully) near pipeline and these moves they are making, they might just be able to grab a few UFA's attention and build a much better team sooner than later. In the present era, what is the rough timeline for a team that sucks and rebuilding to significantly improve?

[@sharkhaos_probably]

Likely another bad year before they're at all contending for a spot in the playoffs. The fresh blood needs time to develop and another high pick couldn't hurt (top 5 would be amazing).

[@ianhall6614]

Definitely one more year spent at the bottom, hopefully a little more competitive than last year. Could see them as a potential playoff team in as little as 3-4 years. Gotta get the new guys settled in first

[@martybraga4832]

See ya Burrows!

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

Canucks just signed Myers! They're not waiting around to get things done. Silovs put in a gutsy effort in the playoffs, but I didn't see him starting next season in Vancouver. It's probably better for his development to play a lot more games in Abbotsford and then he comes back again as the 3rd (or 2nd depending on who the backup is) goalie for the playoffs.

[@mattgardiner744]

I think moving on from brannstrom is a mistake if the sens do it

[@Smokewadwinslow]

The rangers signed Trouba with the expectation that he would be what Fox is, a top defenseman and pp quarterback. With the cap staying flat for the Covid years and his playing issues, he’s just too expensive for what he gives. I think Chris Drury is looking to really shake up the rangers core and that Kakko and Trouba are likely gone as soon as he can make a deal

[@CoolHandRobb]

Grundy is a solid bottom six guy and I hope the best, Roy will be a bad contract in a couple years for any team.

[@teknicalmadeit]

I hope he goes up even more. I want Buium, but he won’t be there at 11th. They should try to package the 11th, 32nd and maybe a player like Bordeleau for the 5th or 6th pick, see who takes it lol. That’s worth Buium. They need a star D prospect and I don’t think Yakemchuk is that. At 11th I’d still prefer Eiserman over Yakemchuk.

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

I really hope Demko is ok and we don't need to spend money on a goalie... After getting Petterson, Hronek, Blueger and Joshua all at good numbers and the low retention on the amazing Mikheyev dump we are sitting really pretty, I say let DeSmith, Myers, Cole and Lindholm go. Try and bring back Zadorov at a decent number and bring in a Tanev or Dumba to play his right side. Then you still have a ton to either go after a top winger, or preferably someone like a Tyler Toffoli at around $5 mil and then you could look at someone better than Tanev/Dumba or maybe look at bringing in a vet to play bottom 6 like a Pavelski?!

[@dezliin]

grier is damn near making a move per day

[@Dwagz07]

The top 14 of the draft are set in stone through all the competitive mocks. Celbrini/demidov/levshunov/silavev/lindstrom/buuim/parekh/dickinson/catton/ignla/sennecke/yakemchuk/eiserman/helenius in no particular order 2-14. You would be guaranteed one of those guys at 14, withstanding someone also reaching, giving Grier more options. This trade signifies to me that there’s at least 2 of these guys Grier ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T want. He wants bigger tougher players so I feel like he wouldn’t want someone like parekh or catton, even if them falling to 14 would be a godsend.

[@DerektheMotorider]

I could see the devils picking up Matt Roy.

[@kmccart85]

The only reason Trouba is rumored to be moved is because of the cap hit. but 4mil is better than 8 and we have a back log of d-men who will be moved if Trouba's contract can't be Igor needs to get paid

[@kraft_mo1245]

Jacob Trouba for Tory Krug? :)

There better be more going on with Buffalo than that. Was hoping to trade pick plus whatever for a player to plug into the line up. Meh

[@rlosangeleskings]

I'd go to one of the teams that Roy wants to go to and rent his rights for a pick... This way the Kings don't lose him for anything... If signed during the draft...the pick is either this year's or a 2025 mid round pick...

[@matt_thompson85]

I think it's fine when you consider the Sharks had 3 2nds. They still own their own (33) and Tampa's (53), so giving up #42 (Devils) isn't the worst thing ever. They're now guaranteed 1 of Catton/Sennecke/Eiserman and also a much better chance of a top 6 D prospect falling to them. They couldn't control who fell to #14 so having #11 gives more peace of mind IMO.

@@thunderhammerx2966 I don’t pour into to advance stats so you got me there. I get that he was playing through injury, but the eyeball test seemed liked he was a huge liability this postseason. Especially for his contract. Not a huge Gus fan either, I think another team will give him a pay bump.

[@thunderhammerx2966]

@Tyler-di4kq Trouba was undoubtedly injured after the high total of blocked shots he put up in the playoffs. That full speed slapper he blocked with his ribs during the Washington series could have easily been dogging him the whole rest of the way. He was out there bleeding for New York, but a bunch of fans want him to be the scapegoat for the playoff exit. Frankly, it's a little sad.
