2013-2014 Offseason Speculation

[SJVP408]

Couture's new deal should set the standard for other Sharks. Couture getting $6 per year. Pavs should be $1 to 500K under that. My guess is the length of the contract has the two sides squabbling.

Havlát věří, že bude fit a bude se moci poprat o olympiádu - SportovníNoviny.cz

According to the google translation of this article Havlat is in Prague skating and will return to Montreal soon where he does his regular offseason workouts.

for realz?!?!?!

WTF has Gagner done in his career to ask for that kind of money?

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Not sure yet but I still see him missing the start of the season. Enough to have him at least start on the LTIR.

The Google translation was horrible but what I got from the article was: the procedure was not as extensive as first expected, he's skating but still very restricted, wants to get back to playing as soon as possible in hopes to make the Olympic team, feels he has a lot to prove to the Sharks, and had it not been for his injury that a buy out of his contract was a real possibility.

With the surgery he had, made it sound pretty serious. I'm surprised he is already skating.

Jagr has a post up on twitter that makes it sound like he's signing with a team that wears a black sweater. Carolina, LA, San Jose, Boston, Pittsburgh, Anaheim, and Tampa Bay all have black home or 3rd sweaters they wear. We can probably rule out the Pens. Says everything should be final by Wednesday.

New rumor has him Jersey bound

Wow 4.8 mil per season for gagner for 3 years, pavelskis contract just got that much more expensive

He's possibly right on the buy out possibility. I'd be thrilled if he came back for the last half of the season and playoffs completely healthy.

This just shows the owners can't help themselves w the stupid contracts!!

Agreed. It'd be like picking up a top 6 forward at the TDL. Of course, how long will he remain healthy after returning? That is the question.

Finally got someone to translate the article for me. Only thing to add is Havlat says he'd like to be ready for the start of the season and believes he's on schedule for that. Adds that he's not going to rush to make that timetable.

His literally been injured for 3 years running now, he hasn't been healthy since he's been here. I kind of wonder if that was an issue prior to the trade and what lead to his hamstring explosion? He hasnt looked strong on his skates at all and his stride and stance look very new born deer on ice. The guy should really do the selanne and take year off and let his body heal

Maybe the sharks should give Tim Thomas a try out

I'm really interested to see what Stalock can do. If he's good to go, trade Nemo for something nice after the 13-14 season. He'll still have one year left on his contract. It's about time the Sharks actually used the goalies they've drafted.

I'm really I interested to see what stalock can do, reminds me a lot of Marty brouduer when it comes to save selection And having a great glove hand. Problem is The Tadd is horrible and managing his goalies time which will hurt stalock

Who's the goalie coach? Maybe we can lure Kipper in for that position???
