You're assuming ownership wants to spend $$ during the pandemic without fans in the stands.

Sharks missed opportunity to capitalize on free agent market

DW is the 1 reason why the Sharks will never win the Stanley Cup. Passes the opportunity to add some vets & low end deals, Then he gives out NMC with high end $$$$ & ties the teams hands for the future. I guess if DW doesn't get a man crush on you then he won't offer you a contract.

None of it matters unless Jones||Dub remember how to stop a puck.

cancel out the firsts ... not sure why we're swapping those.

San jose gives up Burns (and we keep salary) and a first round pick player in Merkley for an overrated Nylander.

Makes sense.

Especially with their pick a late first most likely and ours potentially a top 5-10
