ThatMike Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The San Jose Sharks have no intentions of “selling the farm”, but would like to let other GMs know that the following players are worth discussing for the right deal. OTB: Connor Sheary (WAS) Paul Stastny (WIN) Duncan Keith (CHI NMC) David Kampf (CHI) Jake Walman (STL Depth D) Unlikely to move, but I’m always willing to talk: Travis Konecny (PHI) Nick Aube-Kubel (PHI) Jonas Siegenthaler (WAS Depth) Jesperi Kotkaniemi (MTL) Jack Studnicka (BOS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got him back though, and now he wont trade with me Petry though @Crabby That is a bold statement to make to @theminister and come back to us when you have won a championship and manage a contending team in this league year after year. If you want to be the man then you have to beat the man. Buckle up @Crabby it will be a bumpy ride as you are in a division next year with @Azzy @lethunder @winterhawks and myself who have all won a championships or made deep runs to the finals. If you happen to get out of that division then you have to contend with the Metro division with @Mike Vanderhoek @ActionJax09 and @da.moose and @Tony Romo who are all historically a pain in the ass to compete against in the playoffs. Good Luck! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I have seen some teams with a vey long list of draft picks, and I am sure it is a good strategy for some to tear it down to the wood and rebuild and rewire the whole house, but I have questions. Just how do you finish the strategy? Presuming you have 25 draft picks over two years: that means you have 25 twenty one year old's under contract in a few years, leaving just 25 contract spots to ice an NHL level club. Not saying it isn't doable, but of your 25 youngsters there will be a pretty large chunk of 'busts' and 'cuppa coffee guys'. pretty much half your 2nd round picks and 2/3rds of your later picks won't make it, one in four of the first round won't make it either. So I see it as a shotgun approach of sorts, where you generally aim at the target and pull the trigger and a certain % of your shot hits the target while many pellets just sail on by. I would be afraid to try this approach becuase paring down the roster to 25 playing pro's and 25 kids over two or three years sounds like a very hard thing to climb out of in year 5 say, when you come to the sorting hat moment of realizing 8 of your draftees are worth having and the 25 NHL'ers you have aren't that hot due to being sold off previously for picks. It is interesting, and daring of course to try it, I am interested to see if it works, looking at a handful of GM's lately trying it so it should be fun to see play out over time. Just an idle thought for a wake up cup of coffee here in Madison Square Garden. This post is just an idle curiousity, I have no care in the world about the teams with lots of picks, I find it interesting and wish you all good luck in the draft! (and I will say, it seems the kids these days are much better scouted and prepped for the big show, so the odds are probably better for the 2020 draft class that this chart suggests, at least for the earlier rounds. I suspect the 2021 class is not as deep though, due to covid evaluations are all over the place. In any event, draft night for the first round will be a fun fun fun time and hopefully my household has no medical emergencies for the 2-4 rounds the next day! EDIT: I am certainly not claiming my method is better by any stretch, clearly my club is in the have not column for many years, so I am aware i suck, haha, but looking at the various strategies this one has its advantages I think in the here and now, with back to back covid interupted seasons, if your going to flip the deck, now seems to be the time to do it, so good for the guys who have steered it there, I just don't know that I could pull that off successfully, but it would be awesome to have that many picks: the draft is the biggest fun for me as I go all in on scouting about 100 players via the internet leading up to it.

Use some to trade up if theres a player you like. Maybe a surprising stud like Pastrnak becomes available. Would be nice to have to picks to throw a huge offer out. Could trade back years/trade down accumulate more. All about how you use them. The way I see it is I have a very good chunk of my young core just waiting to break out. 1-3 hits in these next 2 drafts, with possible UFA signing boosts, I really feel I set myself up for longterm success, and think I could be a playoff team as soon as next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that must be a big part of the idea, use picks as assets to gain targets outside the draft. Took coffee number two to catch up to that one, haha. I think it will be successful too actually, but seems the more picks you draft with over a two year period, generally, the longer it will take to realize results as in getting into the playoffs after the first of the two draft years. Meh, overthinking it, I know. The biggest upside to a shotgun draft approach is you have a much higher chance of one of those random 34th overall superstars for 18 years in the league kind of guys. It has its appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I am tempted to try to increase the number of self drafted roster players I have from two to about a third of the club, 7 or 8 guys, but that means less trades over time to basically hang onto my prospects longer. Arguably I should have done that earlier to be in a better spot today, but I consider my time in GML until around 2017 as 'the learning curve' haha, followed by three years of trying to get up near compete levels for the East, now that some windows seem to be closing though, I expect big things for the Blueshirts in the coming years.
