Hoss Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Sounds like the Oilers will be holding a presser tomorrow to introduce Chiarelli as part of their front office. Also sounds like Sharks GM Wilson will not be fired (which I agree with. They've done such a good job at gathering talent there in San Jose. Get a good coach and get the room back, then win) Edited April 24, 2015 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Chiarelli will be pres of hockey ops or something similar San Jose needs to do more than McLellan. Marleau or Thornton needs to be moved. I agree with the first. Disagree with the second. They need to make a big move with one of their top forwards, yes. I can't say that it definitely has to be Marleau/Thornton. They will need to add some talent and you may only get prospects and picks there. They don't need a full tear down. Pavelski, Couture, Burns and a few others are great pieces to start with. Thornton seems prepared to just sit there and refuse any trades so it's tough to move him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Chiarelli gets fired and gets a promotion. Sly like a fox. Will he trade McDavid the first time he goes out to party, or show restraint until the second offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear Tim Murray has offered Baptiste a roster spot next year if he can leak incriminating photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 San Jose needs to do more than McLellan. Marleau or Thornton needs to be moved. San Jose is a franhcise that needs more of a reboot than a rebuild. I'd keep the coach and move out Marleau and Thornton as you said. San Jose looks like a situation that can be fixed quickly.

I would have to think they do see the writing on the wall. Ownership should make it clear to both that at least one will not be playng for the Sharks in 2015-16 even if it means an outright release.

qwksndmonster Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Great rookie seasons out of these guys, that Forsberg doesn't even make the top 3. I forgot about Forsberg. That's neat. I saw very little of Stone this year. What kind of player is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I forgot about Forsberg. That's neat. I saw very little of Stone this year. What kind of player is he? He really turned it on in the second half. As many points as Gaudreau, and more goals. I don't think Ottawa makes the playoffs without him.

Trettioåtta Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I see he's big, does he play a heavy game? Or is he more of a Vanek-type big. Plays big. Old school hockey. Barrels into corners etc. But he doesn't have a nasty streak.

Randall Flagg Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Stone can steal a puck like Datsyuk. Had to work a lot on his skating to make it NHL-average, but got it there. Very smart player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Not only did Forsberg not finish in the top 3 -- he wasn't top 4. Finished 5th in voting. Not sure who was 4th, maybe John Klingberg? To me it's one of the two forwards (I would've had Forsberg in the conversation, too, but he's not a finalist). What Ekblad did was 19 is awesome, but Klingberg had more points in far less games. Neither made the playoffs and their statlines were so close that you can barely differentiate the two. Stone's success correlates with Ottawa's huge run, so you could say he was the MVP of a playoff team (if you ignore Erik Karlsson's existence). Gaudreau was part of a huge youth group in Calgary that pushed them into the playoffs... Exciting little guy. Has hype on his side. I think Ekblad wins it, but I would've picked Stone.
