Think he'll make the NHL? A recent Fear the Fin article was skeptical.

Kind of like with Bords and Gush, I don't see the Sharks keeping both Havelid and Cagnoni. Similar tiny offensive defensemen. Cagnoni seems like the better of the two so far.

IRL I hope we get a good look at Havelid, Bystedt and Edstrom with the Cuda next year. The SHL must be a pretty tough league, cuz our prospects there are not lighting it up like our prospects in North America. A man's league, not a kid's league. That does make it harder to compare Havelid to Cagnoni.

Guess I should be patient with both Bords and Havelid. It's just hard to find any Sharks worth trading on this site that we'd actually want to trade. 🙃

Sharks might also have a choice to make between Bystedt and Edstrom someday. Two very similar players.

Thread: D for Now and Future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>I 100% agree with you and tbh I have kind of changed my opinion on what we should do this offseason. My original opinion was just like yeah let's keep ranking and keep developing the prospect pool, but look how far that's gotten buffalo over the last 10 years. This is the bottoming out year, imo we should definitely make some moves this summer, like bring in a 1 dman. I would grab an RD and still run with the left side of Ferraro - Muk - Thrun,</div></div>

Your original comment was probably correct: At this point in the rebuild the Sharks should be trying to acquire picks, not trade them away. Especially picks in the first 3 rounds. Maybe we don't really need a P1 D yet. Just tank along until our prospects develop. Or trade for a P1D later when we're closer to contention. In the meantime sign a couple P2D UFA's so the Sharks aren't putrid and a bad environment to develop prospects in. I got interested in the idea that Toronto or other disappointed early round playoff exit teams might trade away decent D for cheap. But we can do that in a few years. Jumped the gun. Time to focus on improving the D through the draft and UFA's.
