The Rumor Mill

[Cmon_WTF]

Sweet so more trades are coming for sure 100% maybe even a coach getting shit canned

I should probably add that, even though he didn't name names, there was a pretty clear call out of Clowe. He also said he won't trade picks, prospects, or young players for older rentals.

Just a side thought, with Ellis going down with injury I wonder if Wilson will deal Griess to the Canes once he healthy.

I dunno seeing how Stalock has done nothing but open the gate since he's been up i dont see him dealing Griess. I guess Peters isnt cutting it in Carolina then?

Clowe is as good as gone, I hope my pretend deal involving inginla comes true lol

Why would you want Inginla on a team trying to get younger & faster?? No way man... Send him to Chicago where he's rumored to be going...

Clowe for hagelin, read or couturier or a to a team thatll have a top 10 1st round pick...

 

[sjrules99]

clowe to any team with a 1st rounder is fine with me, even if it's a 20-30 pick. My hope my be that they could get a 1st plus something, even another later pick in next year's draft too. I dont really care where he goes, but I just want picks, prospects, or sub 24 year olds coming back.

I think dougie is finally getting the message that old slow guys arent gunna get it done now. The fact that dougie said flat out that a rental wont happen clearly shows that he knows the farm is thin and he knows they need to get younger. It's nice to see him finally figure that out. I would doubt that there will be any other deals other than clowe, but zues could be shipped too. I would love if they could get something of value (say a 2nd rounder) for him too. That would give them 5 picks in the top 60, which could have them completely restocked immediately.

It would be great to get anything for Handzus. He is still solid on faceoffs, can center a 4th line and brings a veteran with plenty of playoff experience. Maybe a late pick for him. You gotta think Clowe should bring a nice return. I understand the Morrow comparisons, but Morrow is breaking down, is 4 years older and while he has 6 goals to Clowe's 0, he is shooting 20% to get those 6 goals. I think a 1st+ is likely and as a fan I'd be happy with that.

I gotta say to that I'm glad DW said that about the rentals. I unfortunately saw the facebook reaction to the Murray trade and I think there are just too many fans in San Jose who just don't understand hockey. I would say it was 80% negative about the trade and clamoring for players to help now. I know we won't see a full rebuild, but this trade is a good change from the past.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

You're going to see that type of reaction any time a fan favorite is traded. Those are the fans who cheer for the team but don't follow the game if you know what I mean.

Jussi Jokinen on waivers from Carolina

Jussi Jokinen on waivers from Carolina

If he were a UFA after this season I'd say, yes, but one more year at $3.0m is tough to take if he doesn't work out.

 

[SJVP408]

I'm very pleased with what Morrow was able to fetch. I hope GMs look more at Clowe's past three season than this one.

So what happens if the Sharks go on a mini winning streak? Does that completely change Doug's outlook towards the trade deadline? In a way, it shouldn't. He needs to look big picture. There's still one more thing he can do as a last ditch effort to bring some life back into the offense, and it doesn't involve trading anybody.

Unfortunately, after seeing his comments regarding the deadline, I think he is definitely waiting to see how the team plays these next 4 games before deciding to make any more deals.
I do feel better knowing he isn't after any rentals.

 

[Cbrower91]

Clowe is gone, I just don't see him staying they need production from that spot in the line up. It's what they get in return that matters

 

[rares]

I'd say no on Jussi also (because of next year's pay, like Cmon said) but otherwise, he'd be a huge upgrade to Clowe, even as shitty as he's been since last year.

I don't think he'll be available at #15 or wherever the Sharks are in waiver priority anyway but otherwise, I'd like him just to put on a line with Logan for the... ready for it? ... "Jussi Couture" line! Duh!

That alone is worth the pickup.

I have no idea how much his play has dropped off, but $3 is nothing since Boyle and Clowe may be off the team. Sheppard and Demers are the only notable FAs after this season.

 

[MrChangoT97]

Don't 4get about Irwin is a UFA!

 

[SJVP408]

Oh yeah, that's right. Gotta sign that kid up.

Pominville, maybe. No to the rest.
