@FlyingHigh28 @MolitorisNick Yes. Straight up for Sandis Ozolinsh

@MolitorisNick Did they trade him before they won the cup in 96?

My groupchat is playing this game so let's see if anyone can name this Avs player

@bigheadhcky If the low is Seth Jones, Chase Reid is an amazingly safe pick

High-end, low-end prospect comparisons: Gavin McKenna: High — Nikita Kucherov | Elite playmaking winger who's IQ tilts the ice. Questionable defense & physicality never a problem. Low — Trevor Zegras | Still a highly skilled, flashy playmaker, but inconsistent enough that he'll never be a true franchise-carrying superstar. Ivar Stenberg: • High — Kirill Kaprizov | Robust, grinder tendencies paired with elite offensive tools. A complete possession driver at both ends of the ice. • Low — Michael Carcone | Great battler and flashes of skill who works better as a complementary piece. Every team would love him on the roster. Chase Reid: • High — Matthew Schaefer (without the jets) | Total two-way package where the mobility and offensive instincts immediately translate. Franchise defenseman. • Low — Seth Jones | An aggressive play-style creates mistakes, while mobility never develops to the point where he can make up for those mistakes. Caleb Malhotra: • High — Nick Suzuki | An elite blend of defensive habits, playmaking, and high-end vision creates your #1 center. • Low — Jordan Staal | even with a Conn Smythe, he's more of a two-way, heart and soul, addition to a locker room. Difficult to play against but not a major X-Factor.

@GasiorJamie @NathanGraviteh You would lose your left nut. No point arguing with you. I am glad that Mike Grier doesn’t share your delusions.

@AlmadenBeast @NathanGraviteh Again. So dumb. You obv don’t understand the macro economics of the nhl. Nor the game itself. Perhaps even the concept of shaping a team to play the game. And lastly, I would bet my left nut you never played the game.

In this draft, the difference between 20 and 27 is almost nothing. If I’m SJ, give me a young RD who’s shown up in the past all day. Love this move.

@GasiorJamie @NathanGraviteh There are literally 30 centers in the NHL I would rather have than Larkin, and the Sharks already have 3 of them. Celebrini, Smith, and Misa.

@NathanGraviteh SJ would love Larkin as a 2C w vet exp on that roster w Cele and will smith is ABSOLUTELY worth 2nd overall at minimum.

@reporterchris I would like to thank the Oilers GM Stan Bowman for mismanaging his roster so badly that a team with McDavid & Draisaitl finished with a record that gave the Sharks the 20th pick instead of 31st or 32nd. 🤣

The #SJSharks have acquired Michael Kesselring and the No. 27 pick in next week's draft from Buffalo for the No. 20 pick.

@cmasisak22 Offer sheet coming???? They wanted their own 3rd back…

The #Avs have traded Ross Colton and goalie Isak Posch to Chris MacFarland and the Predators for former DU goalie Magnus Chrona and third-round picks in the 2026 and 2027 NHL draft. The 2027 pick was originally Colorado's.

@JesseGranger_ @TheAthleticNHL Torts to Edmonton????

John Tortorella will not return as coach of the Golden Knights, the team has announced.

@FriedgeHNIC Please, please do NOT share Eric Tulsky doing the same thing

Should be the final submission to the Hall of Fame committee. It’s time he gets in

@HawkEmDownChris Dody Wood

Whoever names the most obscure NHL player wins.

@HawkEmDownChris Breaking 2: Electric Boogaloo

Can you name a movie sequel that was better than the original?

@JeffMarek @wyshynski

@JeffMarek @wyshynski It should be hanging from the rafters like SJ Sharkie

The Sheet QoD - Should the NHL have the Stanley Cup visible in the arena at every SC final game? Me and @wyshynski discuss on the show today.

@wyshynski That could have changed someone’s life

To underscore how nutty last night was, I hit my post limit for the first time on this cursed app and was unable to send this vital communique.

@domluszczyszyn I am guessing McDavid will be traded before the deadline next season.

the dying star of mcdavid’s prime years comes down to stan bowman and mike babcock incredible stuff 🤘

@2MINIHULK Ummmm

Yeah, pretty sure the Golden Knights are winning the Cup this year.

@pucksanddreams_ LOL. You are delusional. As a Sharks fan I would be pissed if they traded either straight up for him. Ain’t gonna happen

@scottcwheeler They sure eat a lot. Of course, they are Sharks. 🦈

I already reported on the dinners the Sharks had with Carson Carels and Chase Reid this week, but they also had dinner with Keaton Verhoeff and Ivar Stenberg in Buffalo this week. Their direction at No. 2 has been the trickiest for teams to pin down.

@domluszczyszyn @JayManCroft I would rank him higher than a lot of young centers right now, but those teams shouldn’t and won’t make those trades. Thinking Misa & Smith in SJ, Fantilli. Could see Utah offer Desnoyers or Boston offer Hagens

@JayManCroft i think that’s probably fair i don’t think he’s a contending 1C but he is a 1C

Okay not subtweeting @domluszczyszyn , just wanted a clear post. I think Larkin probably slots somewhere in that early twenty range, where I think it gets hard to justify having him as your number one centre without someone similar behind him.

@domluszczyszyn Makes sense he wants to win immediately

wow

@2MINIHULK No

Well guys. You think Grier should entertain it?
