@tristangrfx @davehall1289 Because you are in clickbait season to get engagement and monetization from fans like you and Chicago fans. It’s a month out and a month of chalk top 2 picks is boring Bob McKenzie is the only guy thats truly plugged in and historically accurate, and he doesn’t have a mock out

@718base @davehall1289 If there’s not a realistic chance then why have I seen so many mock drafts from informed scouts that have SJ taking a Dman? Realistic doesn’t mean probable.

For me, it's hardly even a debate. That call should be the first order of business. We can throw around hypotheticals about what it would cost to move up one spot, but even if it costs a pair of additional picks, landing one of the potential stars in this draft is well worth the gamble compared to the swings you’re taking in the 40s, 50s, or 60s. I’m typically an “accumulate as many darts as possible” guy, but when your organization lacks star power across the board, you swing for it. And Ivar Stenberg is worth the price of admission (for me).

@davehall1289 @tristangrfx What trip??

@718base @tristangrfx Haha oh ok. I guess I will cancel my trip!

@armaan_sohi @davehall1289 You guys are all fucking high thinking hronek is worth that Actually we want to give you Eklund and edmontons 20 so we can get stenberg and Reid

@davehall1289 What if they package a deal with Hronek and the MIN 1st n whatever sweetener they need to San Jose for 2 n then pick 2 and 3. The sedins pull off a little Burke action n start the rebuild off with 2 of McKenna/Stenberg/Malholtra

@tristangrfx @davehall1289 There is not a realistic chance but it’s good all the clickbait shit getting put around has given real rationalization to Canucks and Blackhawks fans. You’re taking malhorta lol

@davehall1289 IMO not worth it when there’s a realistic chance he’s there at 3.

@LassStats But do you take verhoeff over stenberg

@ejmichele What a stupid fuck lol

Will come back to this at the end of the tournament, but as i have since the WJC, I have struggled to see a difference in potential between Stenberg and Björck, which leaves me with the positional, age, and defensive advantage to Björck.

@scottcwheeler I still think the sharks should reach at 2OA on a D man with solid production against players his own age because top 5 in the draft is where you’re supposed to fill organizational needs first and foremost

Stenberg to Bjorck on the PP. *chefs kiss*

@mcclusk @dustan_law57114 @LeafsUpdates21 “Generational” that’s Celebrini this generation. Not some guy with glaring deficiencies in his game

@dustan_law57114 @LeafsUpdates21 I know people are wavering on McKenna right now, but I don't think you pass on a chance at a generational guy. He's been a prodigy since he was a child.

Ivar Stenberg does things that Gavin McKenna will need to learn in time, but Gavin McKenna does things that can't be taught.

@MFalcon1234 @OviClapBomb Fuck retard hawks fan 😂😂😂 you guys are gonna be eating our shit for the next 15 years. Get used to lopping it up with little Gaydard

@718base @OviClapBomb Says the Account that is 1 month old. Go fuck yourself. You sound like an extremely pissed off SJ Sharks fan. Here's the thing moron. Hawks don't give a shit if the Sharks pick Stenberg or Reid. Do what the fuck you want. You feel better now? Jeez. Take a fucking valium.

I’ve decided to hit my head against the door frame in my bedroom until I forget who Ivan Demidov is.

@Moose5524 @DeltaDood24 @BSendrowski Reid is a reach. You rationalizing doesn’t change that

@DeltaDood24 @BSendrowski Reid is not a reach. He has a high chance of becoming a #1D, which are way more valuable than a top line 5’11 winger with mid speed. Sharks have plenty of those. No chance Sharks pass on that unless they don’t think he can be a top pair, PP1 dman.

My 2026 NHL Draft Top 10 Predictions: (1) TOR - McKenna (2) SJS - Reid (3) VAN - Stenberg (4) CHI - Carels (5) NYR - Malhotra (6) CGY - Lawrence (7) SEA - Verhoeff (8) WPG - Björck (9) FLA - Smits (10) NSH - Belchetz

@IceMetrix @TKlasky2269 Why bother having a hockey twitter account if you’re so stupid about the sport

@TKlasky2269 If both teams just wanna take best player available then sure but that doesn’t make much sense for either team.

Chase Reid is the best Defensemen in this draft, has been number 1 on my rankings for a long time, people really only came around to it after the world juniors. He has superstar potential, I think he has all the tools in his game to be top 5-10 dman in the league. #NHL #NHLDraft

@MFalcon1234 @OviClapBomb You guys are bots if you think stenberg doesn’t go 2. You’re lopping up shit clickbait articles and they’re apparently working

@OviClapBomb @718base Think a Sedin let's a top Swede go to the Hawks? Not in a million yrs. 1) MCKenna 2) Reid 3) Stenberg 4) Carels or Malhotra

@DMCstan_ @MikeBartner Wasn’t asking you. Was asking the guy with a track record of having good takes

@718base @MikeBartner Sharks should trade back with Chicago so Chicago can get their winger for Bedard San Jose can still ensure a d man and Chicago can block Vancouver from getting stenberg

My favorite prospect of the 2024 cycle, I could cry I'm so happy watching cook, insane like Benson he fell bc he wasn't that tall....

@Kwalt23 No one is jealous of your dogshit rapist org lol you have no pipeline and are gonna be in useless hell starting in ~2 years

Can we talk about Carter Hart making it to the western conference final as our starter? I wonder how many GMs right now are saying “damn I shoulda put feelings aside and signed Carter Hart” the golden knights org knows how to win #forgedingold

@MikeBartner Help me so should the sharks reach for a D or take stenberg?? Or would the D this year even be considered a reach at 2?

Flyers could've had this demon and instead they reached on Luchanko 😭😭😭

@JorgeGuapo22 @Blutman27 I know I’m talking about who you’re probably getting at 4

@718base @Blutman27 Reid is a defenseman

Thinking about how a team could’ve paired Bedard with Demidov

@JorgeGuapo22 @Blutman27 What about Bedard-Reid

@Blutman27 Bedard-Stenberg > Bedard-Demidov

@D1_clankerhater @2MINIHULK You’re falling for the clickbait meant to keep things making money until the draft and that’s on you

@718base @2MINIHULK It's really not, this draft isn't like the last three where you have a consensus one and two.

Bleacher Report has jumped on the Chase Reid to San Jose Sharks train, but also mentions McKenna/Stenberg. 🤔

@OviClapBomb Same way you guys got Misa last year 😂😂😂 keep the cope up, you have about 6 weeks of delusional positivity left

@718base Sharks are taking a D
