Adding Patrick this late in the season would do wonders for this team down the middle. We saw how ineffective Giroux was at center before getting moved back to LW. But man, having Couts-Hayes-Patrick- Laughton as your centers... I think we'd be one of the strongest teams in the East at center which is great for the playoffs

I wouldn't have very high expectations for Patrick if he plays this season. Say he comes back in a month after going through contact drills and a conditioning stint in the AHL. He still didn't have a training camp and hasn't seen a second of NHL action in close to a year. It will take him the rest of the regular season just to get fully acclimated.

Basically, it would be like adding a 3C/4C at the TDL without giving anything up, but I wouldn't expect huge point totals.

Sure, getting Patrick back this time of season is like getting someone in a trade without giving up anything in return.

I wouldn't expect huge point totals either. It's certainly not game-shape or pace, but Patrick still has been training/practicing so he won't be super out of shape. I guess I would compare his insertion to Pitlick. Pitlick missed camp and looked a little out of place but eventually got his legs and speed back

I think that's a fair comparison, although there's a natural skill and position discrepancy. If Patrick can come back the last 10-12 games of the season and we make the playoffs, he would be a nice boost for sure.

the sharks will have an easy time rebuilding due to smart moves by their gm

funny story, when we first traded for Braun I had a brain fart and thought it was Brendan Dillon. I was so excited but foolishly mixed the two up somehow.

Dillon got pretty choked up last night when asked the possibility of playing his last shark game.

I'm hoping for this, as well as one of Allison or Laczynski signing for some bottom 6 depth.

The Washington Capitals have acquired defenceman Brenden Dillon from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Colorado’s 2020 2nd round pick and a conditional 2021 3rd round pick.

San Jose retains 50% of Dillon’s salary.


The Montreal Canadiens have traded defenceman Marco Scandella to the St. Louis Blues for a 2020 second-round pick and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2021, the team announced Tuesday.

Another trade that's completely different than the Braun trade.

So let me get this right. Some of you take this site and the people on it so serious, you come up with offensive nicknames like “the clown”?
- SuperSchennBros


That's ironic coming from a guy who sent me an unsolicited PM to in order to make offensive remarks, and reaffirm your already well known love for Luke Schenn.

Seeing how you prove daily that you neurodicly need a web site of any kind to do your thinking for you and unable you comprehend anything outside of this, I'll explain why I would prefer Luke Schenn over Radko Gudas. Both are physical, one doesn't take cheap shots or puts it's team down a man for 5 minutes in a game with a major penalty. No man crush of any kind. Just my preference, bumhole.
