Sujet: Opening Night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>A few tweaks Duclair and Barabanov have a really solid chemestry so far in camp so those two together would be good, and Hoffman Zadina Hertl has been a consistent pairing. Starting Eklund on the 3rd line isn’t a bad idea, however I expect him to move up quickly.
Couture is likely to miss the start of the season per reports.
And Thrun and Rutta have been paired almost exclusively.

I would probably throw Knyzhov on 2nd pair over Burroughs, his shot improved and he has had a solid camp.

I do expect Macdonald to go on waivers and is likely picked up due to his cheap contract. Be nice to move 1 more LD and free up space but it might not happen.</div></div>

Didn't realize we were so close to opening night already! Guess Cooch starts on IR then. I wonder if that would open up a spot for Bordeleau to start season with the Sharks

Sujet: Extension time for Meier 23-24 roster outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>I really like Meier, but it would be difficult to convince him to stay with so many bad contracts on the books. Not many teams can take on those contracts so San Jose is either buying them out or retaining salary and trading them. Hurts in a flat cap era. I honestly think San Jose should tear it down now and stockpile picks for 2025-26. When the cap rises and they can shed contracts with less term relative to the cap.</div></div>

Ek65 is rough until that cap jump in 25-26, buying out Vlasic next summer gets rid of the worst one.
Hertl &amp; Couture will hold us over until we have a Centre prospect developed. Bordeleau probably takes over 2C in 24-25 giving Cooch either 3C duties or he can play a wing spot in top 6.

I don't think it's gonna be terrible after this season. The kids are gonna get better and revive the older guys a bit. Still think Sharks get a top 10 pick in 2023 draft and then end up with late 20s or early 31/32 pick from Canes in the deadline deal.

If LaBanc comes back strong this season and puts up 0.7pt/gp before the deadline in either 22-23 or 23-24 I could see him getting moved as well

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>That is quite the unlikely and rosy out look for a middle of the road prospect pool and the detriment of cap anchors that all of the buyouts, Karlsson and Couture will be</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>sharks have one of the better prospect pools in the NHL (top 1/3) not middle of the pack and yes we’re lacking elite prospects and I won’t argue there, as is I think we really only have 1 in Eklund. but the rest i mentioned there are all prospects with Legit NHL futures, we add a top 5 from 23 with what we have and we have something worthwhile.
If he doesn’t want to say i hope we can get a good return for him otherwise i hope we keep him.</div></div>

I'm gonna do a 23-24 roster soon to see what it will be like with a Meier extension on the books
