@FowleBall15 @yolo_pinyato Sharks also been "rebuilding" a shorter duration. Only picked eklund 7th cuz we stunk... the dedicated intentional rebuild really started the year leading up to drafting will smith

@yolo_pinyato Yup. Although there was a good month or so when the Sharks went on a hot streak where many people thought they'd sneak into the playoffs while the Hawks remained in the bottom 5 or whatever that fueled this conversation.

their best player is better than the hawks best player that's usually a good starting point.

“The Sharks rebuild is miles ahead of the Blackhawks.” Meanwhile the Hawks are only 3 points behind them, despite playing in the grueling central division and being without Bedzar for over a month. And the fact that San Jose plays in the poverty pacific #blackhawks

@bhawkmemes98 Sharks actually have been rebuilding for a much shorter duration

@MissYankee I feel like the yanks have 100% been off one or both at some point the last few seasons. Such a whiff
English
I can't believe the Yankees aren't playing on Sunday. No team should be off on Saturdays and Sundays, Memorial Day or July 4th.

@2MINIHULK Also need 2 look at the scope of 19yr old defensive prospects in the league not named schaefer. getting sam a full season under his belt was incredibly beneficial & gives him a head start on acclimating thus helping set up next yr when we should actually expect marked improvement
English
Don't let these last few games fool you. Will Smith and Sam Dickinson have absolutely gotten better. Idk how you haven't seen progression from them

@ChrisVeloria @2MINIHULK The playoff race will never be easier, lol. In a regular year we are nowhere near the playoffs. We can easily be in the bottom 5 of the league by season’s end. Did they really get better, or did Macklin just have an insane season? Can you say Smith, Dickinson improved? Nope
English
@LockedOnSharks But still a reasonably successful season in the grand scheme of things. Time to bring musty up to get his feet wet for next year.
English
@FowleBall15 falling out of contention is likely the only way this has anyyyy chance
English
Quentin Musty needs games or risks being on the wrong side of history.
From Namita Nandakumar's prospect timeline research, this chart shows how many prospects have not played 1 NHL game by X day since their draft day.
Only ~18% of 1st rounders don't reach 1 NHL game by D+3.
English
Recent scoring challenges have tested the San Jose Sharks, yet Quentin Musty’s 7 goals since the start of the month offer a promising spark. As the team prepares for a pivotal game against the Predators, Musty’s performance could be key.

@halfwall_hockey Adding one of the premiere blue line prospects from this year's draft to the stable orr having that pick be incredibly appealing to go big game hunting would be absolute 🚀 fuel...
English
It’s wild that the Sharks are in the thick of a playoff race but also in the thick of a potential top 5 draft pick race.
English
@halfwall_hockey If it’s between those two options, the top 5 pick is CLEARLY the best route.
English
@halfwall_hockey Let’s get that pick. We’re not competing, as planned. The boys are gassed.
English
@halfwall_hockey Top 5 pick would actually be really awesome... And probably best for our longterm success
English
@2MINIHULK A more nuanced take since I def bitched more- hes a nice player, will be great on 3rd line when we're contending- but the term & value 4a 30yr old career ahl tween who just walked in the room a wk ago - still warrants criticism. Grier treated him like he was the missing piece
English
I'm sorry for ever bitching about Sherwood's contract.
English
Spin zone. This is good for the Oilers. They'll still make playoffs and then they get a fresh as lettuce Drai in the post season. Big brain stuff

sure some could be subjective ie what truly constitutes a "big gm" but... I do think most would agree theres a discernible difference between popping in 2 Vs. Valladolid or Malaga at noon on a random Sunday or 1 vs the machine or man city in extra time of the ECL quarters/ semis
English
Im surprised- given our long standing infatuation w/stats- which no doub are relevant-& w/all the analytical stuff these days, that we haven't gone even further sorting #'s- as u already mentioned UCL goals or perhaps game winner/tying goals or goals in "big" games.

@Arifromanhattan this is in response to that benzema vs Suarez post. I just needed more room to finish my thought...
