Chicago should have jumped all over the deal. San Jose is going to own us in a couple of years. But since when did they not own the Canucks? Same with the Kings. Those California teams just always own us whenever we play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Sharks won’t be big and mean they’ll be a skilled team. I’m not too worried about them. They’re still a long ways from being relevant if everything goes right. A few good prospects don’t make a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that the Canucks did as well as the record reveals. kind of feels like they did worse against the sharks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few good prospects don’t make a team. yeah, that's true that those Sharks teams with Big Joe Thorton were big physical teams. The Canucks never really did well against them, it seemed. I'm a little worried about the Canucks. I thought this would be a pretty good season with the team seemingly healthy - until the Demko news broke out. Now it kind of feels like a hammer just dropped on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ with all of their picks that they're acquiring - takes more than just a talented group to win in the league (though the talent does help). I remember the Grizzlies when they were in Vancouver, and they had a decent collection of talent, but never learned how to win. I think that probably can apply to SJ and Anaheim too. Just because you got talent, doesn't automatically mean you'll win. I mean, look at Columbus for crying out loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you got talent, doesn't automatically mean you'll win. I mean, look at Columbus for crying out loud. 100%it takes full organizational alignment. And after drafting and development you have to build around the core and layer in different players / ages / roles etc. LA had the building blocks and a pretty perfect transition set up from Quick / Kopitar / Doughty.. messed up multiple moves in a row. Anaheim and SJS are really interesting to me. Because they have drafted / accumulated all the building blocks and raw assets required to build a contender now. It will be interesting to see how they build a winning culture and mature their young talent with the right group / environment around them. I think both Anaheim and SJS could have better years then Calgary though this year which would be pretty funny. Honestly even Chicago too. But it will be interesting these teams are all early stage on the come up (except calgary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 With the news on Demko, it feels like maybe management might have missed an opportunity with Askarov being available from Nashville. Is it as bad as it sounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
