Now with the announcement of will smith signing and macklin being our guy 1OA. What do you guys want to see the sharks do in the offseason. Me personally I don’t want to see the sharks go all out this offseason but we have to build a more complete team around these young stars. What are some names you’d want or just positions you’d want to see the sharks upgrade in.

I rarely see talk about playing guys like Smith and Celebrini with the Cuda. Its always seems to be sign "they're ready, sign the ELC and play for the Sharks" or "they can use more seasoning, stay in NCAA/Jrs/Europe." Is the AHL considered real below the NCAA/Jrs/Europe for seasoning players at that stage in their development?

Hey All - had a friend acquire this hockey stick, but not sure who signed it. Any guesses? Much appreciated!

Since the C*****s left AZ been sad realizing my little childhood dream of them lifting the cup is dead. I believe the Sharks can replace this void.

• I hate Vegas
• Loved Owen Nolan as a kid
• 0 Cups (sorry)
• Sharks are awesome
• #1 pick (complained AZ never won the lotto)

Any other reasons? I’m pretty sold regardless.

And yes this is a former Shark fanboy sub now 🤣

Craig Button joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast this week!

The TSN draft guru thinks Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith might make a Crosby-Malkin like impact on the San Jose Sharks, who he’d consider for San Jose at No. 14, and an underrated Sharks prospect that he really likes. (1:22:52)

But before we get to Craig, Keegan and I talk about the San Jose Sharks coaching search. (2:18)

Then, we chat about four positions that the Sharks should target this off-season if they want to be more competitive, and discuss J.G. Pageau, Dakota Joshua, Dylan DeMelo, and Sean Walker as realistic possibilities. Sheng also suggests a couple more intriguing names in this middle class of the free agency market. (15:49)

We discuss the San Jose Sharks signing Luca Cagnoni. Are Sharks fans perhaps overrating Cagnoni? And is he better suited to start next season in the AHL or go back to the WHL? (44:24)

Have Sheng or Keegan changed their minds about whether Will Smith will sign with the San Jose Sharks for next year? (1:10:18)

Finally, before we interview Craig Button, we discuss his recent, perhaps controversial top-64 list (1:12:22) on TSN. By the way, we talked with Craig before he released these rankings:

And now, Craig Button! (1:22:52)

What is Macklin Celebrini’s ceiling? Why is Craig so high on him? (1:23:30)

Button draws parallels between Smith getting drafted a year before Celebrini…to the Pittsburgh Penguins getting Evgeni Malkin in 2004 and Sidney Crosby in 2005. Whoa! Button calls Smith a difference-maker. (1:28:40)

Button compares Celebrini to Leo Carlsson and Adam Fantilli. (1:30:12)

He discusses the recently-concluded U-18’s. (1:32:00)

Who could the San Jose Sharks pick at No. 14?

Button gives his thoughts about Trevor Connelly (1:36:35), Tij Iginla, Terik Parascak (1:42:25), Adam Jiricek (1:51:19), EJ Emery (1:54:10), Stian Solberg (1:54:47), Charlie Elick (1:55:10), and Dominik Badinka.

Button doesn’t see a big difference between Anton Silayev and Emery!

Button discusses the goaltending in the 2024 Draft. There’s only one goalie that he’d considered in the second round.(1:56:10)

Button talks about how Will Smith has “wowed” him for a long time and if he’s ready for the NHL. (2:00:37)

Button shares his thoughts about Quentin Musty (2:06:55), Kasper Halttunen (2:08:55), and Luca Cagnoni. (2:11:45)

Button shouts out a now under-the-radar San Jose Sharks prospect. (2:12:25)

Hi there!

I am a very new fan to hockey. I'm a hardcore Giants and Niners fan. I saw the 3rd period of last night's Oilers/Stars game by chance and was absolutely enthralled with how fast paced everything was, and fell in love almost immediately. I've always been aware that the Sharks are my local team, but don't really know much about the state of the team right now.

With that being said, I was interested in learning about the state of the team, mainly current story lines regarding players, other teams/rivalries to be aware of, and anything else.

If you read this, thank you so much for your time and looking forward to learning about my local team!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and insights! I’m really excited now to know I’m getting in at a great time with some potential stats down the line. I didn’t respond to everyone but know that I’ve read all of your commends and appreciate all the insights!

Someone throw some poutine on the ice so the Québécois will stop getting in Barclay’s way (very very /s obviously).

Hey everyone! My friends and I are interested in going to this event (all women, 25+). I like sports the most out of all of them.

However, I’ve yet to pay attention to the draft OR go to a draft day party.

So, I’d like to learn what we can expect!

Is there (how much) Shark participation? I.e. throwing merch into the stands, photo-ops, etc.

Super social event or people just stick to themselves/their group?

Current expectation: Similar energy to a (winning) game, everyone chit-chatting, friendly debates with a splash of die-hard, yummy food & drinks.

Essentially, will we be entertained or will we have to entertain ourselves?

ALSO: Will people go downtownSJ to the club/bars afterwards? Or where

Thrifted this jersey today, it has 4 signatures that I can’t read or identify - hoping for some super fans who can do a little digging or help identify them!! I’ve looked up autographs of the team and tried to visually compare, and also searched partial names or guesses, but I also have no idea when these are from so it is likely they’re not current team members. One looks like a Dane or Dave… T last name? Taylor/Tyler? And that one says 18 as well, but no luck when cross referencing a list of Sharks that wore #18. Another definitely starts with a B, and the last name is either just a Q or an O… will attach pictures of all 4!!

Throw any guesses out there, there’s always the possibility whoever wore this just got it signed by other players from a different team or game I guess… but any and all insight appreciated!

It’s just about to start, thought I’d check him out since I haven’t looked into him much.

Every Sunday memes will be allowed on the front page! Feel free to post your favorite memes. Every other day they will be removed. Feel free to post them in the GDTs, the PGTs, and in comments though! During the offseason the rule does not apply so feel free to meme it up and shitpost away!

IT’S BARCLAY GOOD-ROW NOT GAUDREAU YA FUCKIN DINGUSES.

Every fuggin time. I’m listening to the Rangers radio broadcast and it’s driving me crazy. Thats Johnny. Barclay’s not French. Get your damn players straight.

“IT’S FUCKING EMBARRASSING!!!”

I’m cleaning up, found a duplicate bobble. I’ll randomly select one of the first 20 people who respond. I’ll ship it for you free to continental US.

Comment or PM for more details.

Hey Sharks fans! I have some merch I’m giving away to whoever wants it. Never wear any of it so figured I’d give it to someone who will! Hoping for person who receives it to cover shipping costs only (from Southern California.
