Thread: Revised Offseason Blueprint
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>Man, Having Couture back on the roster would be such a breath of fresh air for this team, I do worry a little bit about Benning, but I thought that he was solid in his time with the sharks, I am a little hesitant to sign 2 UFA dman to create a future jam but we will see</div></div>

True! But Inwould rather have a logjam of good D giving the prospects more time to develop than what we have now! A log jam of underperforming D who are just blocking opportunity for the younger guys.
Personally as much as we don’t want to look at LD is Grier could find a way to get Skejei and Montour without overpaying for 5/6 years I would be over the moon! Then next year and in 26 sharks focus their 1st on a LD and RD to be the future top pairing by the time those deals are up those potential guys would be ready to step in being around 23-25 years in age!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>Thanks! Perhaps we throw Ferraro - Benning out as our top pairing as a pure shut down pair, or sign another top 4 like you said

Having a line of Celebrini - Couture - Smith would be amazing, Im just not all that hopeful he is able to return, but fingers crossed</div></div>

Players do recover from this kind of injury but it takes patience and time and I am hopeful the off-season gives him enough! Even if he is only 75% of the couture we saw in 22/23 still would be a good player! Plus the mentorship and knowledge he could pass on is invaluable to the sharks. I think both could learn a lot from him.

I think the Ferraro Benning pair could be a good idea! But I worry about Benning Hip that wasn’t a simple surgery and those type of injuries and surgery take a Little mobility speed and power from a players stride and he was a fringe 4/5 D to begin with, fear he comes back more like a 6/7D than a solid 4/5D

Thread: MJ's first rd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Element23VM</b></div><div>Simishev is a lefty lol... what were they thinkin... and that's what'll screw our mock drafts over... you know one of these teams is gonna do something like that... "Utah is proud to select Teddy Stiga"... WHAAA?! I honestly thought they took him because of commodity value.

Crypes... I think if I were picking Mukhamadullin or Simishev, I'd take Mook. I guess they hope Simishev eats extremely important minutes.

Nabokov is extremely intriguing. You just wonder with Lou... he likes winners, and George winning both Hlinka Gretz and U18 is gonna catch his eye. But maybe he sees Nabokov winning Gagarin and says he wants that instead. The other two guys you named have a lot more to prove (playing in important games). Or maybe at this point, he's checked out, and his scout will just pick a guy like Sennecke.</div></div>

If Nabokov was 2” taller he would be top 10 but being 5’11/6’ as a goalie has become a death sentence in NHL scouting apparently. Personally think the sharks having another Nabokov in net would be awesome!
And you can’t ignor his stats in the KHL or from the (albeit limited) scouting we have available
