What do the Sharks need to be contenders?
The Sharks are an organization based in Northern California. If you know Northern California (I live here), Mediocrity doesn't cut it. But I'm alright with it. The Sharks are treading water in a pretty stuffed pacific division. I have a few factors on why.
1. DeBoer getting clapped tactically.
2.Martin Jones and Aaron Dell being vastly inconsistent.
3. We are still reeling from the departure of Joe Pavelski.
4. Playing down to inferior competition
5. Being Inconsistent as a team.
6. Playing Canadian Teams.

Just by guessing, I think some random team that blows up this year. For example, the Sharks (just for my own bias) will probably hire him to hold back their potential like DeBoer and McLellan

John Tavares Sweepstakes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Now that it's officially the offseason, it's time to get everyone's final thoughts on the John Tavares sweepstakes. If he has no contract on July 1, where does he go?
:islanders
If Tavares decides to stay with the Islanders, I see that as being the worst decision of his life. That team is so far away from Cup contention with or without him that it would be a waste of 8 years for him to stay. The only reason for him to stay at all is if he wants to stay loyal and doesn't want to move around. While they are still one of the more likely destinations, it makes the least amount of hockey sense to me.
:predators
While they seemingly have their 1-2-3 set down the middle in Johansen, Bonino and Turris, pursuing a truly elite centerman in Tavares makes sense. They could then trade Johansen to a team like the Islanders for a lot of future assets. It's an unlikely situation, but Poile can never be counted out.
:wild
This one would require some fancy cap maneuvering, but it makes a ton of sense from a hockey standpoint. While Eric Staal had a great year last year, the chances of him replicating that aren't very good. Koivu is also getting older, so this allows for them to have a legitimate #1 center to build around guys like Zucker, Niederreiter, Coyle, Granlund, etc. The Wild are a team seemingly stuck in decency, but adding Tavares makes them a legitimate threat in the West. However, the cap situation seems like one that the Wild won't be able to overcome in order to sign Tavares.
:canadiens
We all know about the search for Montreal's next first line center, and bringing in Tavares makes them legit playoff threats in the East. But many question whether or not Tavares would like all the media attention that comes in Montreal, and there are also better options for him to win now. But a core of Tavares, Weber and Price is a really good starting point for a Cup contender. The supporting cast is a different question, which is why Montreal doesn't make a ton of sense for him IMO.
:rangers
While they are starting a rebuilding process, top line centers are going to be very difficult to come by. Zibanejad seems more like an ideal 2C than anything else, but Lias Andersson has oodles of potential to become a top six center for them. They have the money and it's a somewhat familiar area for Tavares to play in, plus it gives Lundqvist a much better shot at the Cup. Although it makes a lot of sense at first glance, the biggest issue becomes the fact that even with Tavares, the Rangers are still a year or two away from being playoff threats again, so he'll most likely look elsewhere.
:canucks
Even though they already have Horvat in the lineup and Pettersson on the upswing, Tavares is a player who can fit into the lineup and make the youngsters feel much more comfortable. It can push Horvat into a 2C role and allow Pettersson to play the wing as he adjusts to the NHL. They have the financial flexibility to pull it off as well. But the issue is the same thing as the Rangers. Even with Tavares, the team is still a year or two away from being a playoff threat, meaning that there are better options for him.
:mapleleafs
This one has been beaten into the ground so many times. While the Leafs can technically fit him under the cap in the long term, it's going to come at the expense of at least one young forward or them filling in the rest of the defense, which is the much more pressing need. Yes, a Tavares and Matthews 1-2 punch is very intriguing and it's Tavares' hometown, but the long term cap problems it makes may be better served elsewhere. And before someone suggests it, a one-year deal for Tavares in Toronto isn't the most realistic outcome to happen. While I will say it makes a lot of sense for all parties involved, it's highly unlikely.
:hurricanes
They need a #1 center desperately, and they've completely changed ownerships, coaches and the GM. If they're seriously ready to win, adding Tavares is a great fit. He should finally propel them into the playoffs, and they have lots of great wingers that can help support. The defense is on the rise and looks to be fantastic for years to come. If Darling can play like the #1 goalie that the Canes brought him in to be, it's a great fit for Tavares. But unfortunately for them, there are better win now options and the Darling decision doesn't look good out of the gate.
:bluejackets
Moving PLD down to 2C and making Tavares the 1C makes this team an instant Cup threat. Biggest issue is going to be the salary obstacle, where they'd have to move out a lot of money in order to make it work. While it's possible and makes a ton of hockey sense, odds are that the Jackets can't move out the necessary money to bring him into the fold.
<strong><em>The 5 Best Options</em></strong>
:devils
Hischier and Tavares is a fantastic 1-2 down the middle, and they already have MVP candidate Taylor Hall at the ready, That's 3 first overall picks in the top six forwards (and yes, it's a helluva lot better than Edmonton's was), which can prove to be absolutely lethal. They have tons of money at their disposal to make it happen, and they'd be instantly thrown up into the upper tier of the Eastern Conference with this move.
:avalanche
They already have Mackinnon, but adding Tavares into the lineup is the Western version of Crosby-Malkin. The Avs have a ton of cap space to do it, a ton of futures to help the team in the long run, and a lot of depth in all areas of the game. If they can add another defenseman, they are legit threats in the West with JT.
:sharks
The team would instantly be ready to win the Cup if they can make it happen, which is a big if. They'd need to buy out or trade Paul Martin, as well as lock up guys like Hertl and Tierny for cheap. This would mean the end of the road for Thornton in San Jose, but it makes their Cup window much longer. If they can make the cap gymnastics work, than it's the best destination for Tavares. Only issue is whether or not the Sharks can make the room to bring in an elite center.
:blues
Another team in dire need of an elite center. Tavares and Schenn is a great 1-2 punch, and the defense is excellent. The wing support in Tarasenko, Schwartz, etc. is amazing, and they have help on the way in the form of Kyrou, Thompson, Kostin and Thomas. Goaltending is an issue for them, but if Allen can be a sustainable long term #1, the Blues instantly are thrown into the mix with Nashville and Winnipeg at the top of the Central.
:goldenknights
Great market? Check. Need for an elite center? Check. Cap space? Check. Able to win now? Check. Vegas is the ideal destination for a high profile free agent such as Tavares. It allows Karlsson to be a more comfortable 2C where he can thrive more as well as take some pressure off of him to repeat the incredible season he just had. The defense is solid and Fleury was amazing for the Golden Knights, so adding Tavares makes them the favorite to repeat in the Western Conference.
<strong><em>My rankings of the Tavares Destinations</em></strong>
1. Golden Knights
2. Avalance
3. Devils
4. Sharks
5. Blues
While I have no idea what to "expect", Tavares going to the Golden Knights makes all the sense in the world on paper. What are everybody else's thoughts?
:goldenknights</div></div>
I think San Jose because Tavares would fit well into the 1C spot.Also, we can bring back Jumbo if Paul Martin is bought out and Melker Karlsson or Mikkel Boedker are traded.

Which Team do you think will have the best offseason?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>What I'm saying is that what went wrong with the Hawks last season can be fixed.....What I'm saying is the salary cap finally made it difficult for the Hawks to put a team together that can contend last season (they had the star power, just not the supporting cast)...... This season will be different because the Hawks have plenty of cap space and with the emergence of Schmaltz and DeBrincat as legitimate young top 6 forwards filling out the rest of the team with legitimate veteran players the Hawks need to contend won't be very difficult...
What worries me the most actually is goaltending actually, no one knows anything about Crawford's situation.
Like I have said: if I thought the Hawks were done I would be posting ways how they could rebuild, but they're not done so I'm not thinking about that at all.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>Dude, they won the Western Conference in 2016-17, and yea - they got swept - SO WHAT - it happens.
Yea, Bowman didn't have the cap space last summer to make the changes he would have liked to have made, but guess what? the moves he made last summer got the Hawks out of cap hell - now they have 20 million to spend and get the guys that WILL INDEED make the Hawks a contender in 18-19...
The Hawks have the core players it takes to be a contender and win a Cup, however this season the Hawks didn't have the supporting cast to contend because Bowman had no cap space so the Hawks were stuck playing rookies 19 of them to be exact.......
Besides, the Hawks were a playoff team until Crawford went down in December, and from there it was all down hill - Hawks used 7 goalies this season.
The Hawks problems aren't "major" and the Hawks aren't slipping into the abyss of NHL mediocrity........ This UFA class has everything the Hawks need to be contenders next season....... Yes, this past season sucked for the Hawks, however they got an 8th overall pick and in this deep draft they're guaranteed a stud, lets not forget the Hawks already have 2 young studs already in Schmaltz and DeBrincat...
Look, the Hawks have the foundation to be a Cup contender next season - they just need to add the right players and they will be there..... Bowman knows what he's doing - he's rebuilt the Hawks over and over again on the fly and every time he rebuilt the Hawks they were contenders again....
I don't know how many times I have heard "oh the Hawks are done"....... lol.... You can believe that all you like but you would be wrong....
I've been watching hockey for 35 years and if I felt the Hawks were actually done and it was time for a rebuild I would agree with you and say it but the truth is that this core has another 5 years left in them (minus Seabrook, because he's slowing down) but I'm sure the Hawks will nab Dobson or Bouchard at the draft and by the time Seabrook is done one of those kids will be primed to take over......
If the core transition goes smoothly over the next 5-6 years or so and the Hawks continue to draft the right players the Blackhawks will be contenders for a very long time..</div></div>
What in the actual f**k was this? A blackhawks fan trying to defend himself? I think the real problem is that Chicago is ready to blow this up.I know they may be bad because of holes on D and goaltending was a waffle trying to stand up but the Hawks aren't the Senators.
