Only Kane to the Sharks is of any concern right niw

Move over 3M line, here comes the 3S line:

Shore - Stajan - Stewart

whether or not this is a whatever or great pickup will ride on Gulutzan's wiĺingness to use him. Use him right and we might have a key bottom sixer in a deep playoff run. Bury him behind the vet pets and... meh.

The 4S line because it should probably be in Stockton

So many Letterkenny 'Shoresy' jokes.

I'm not going to post any because they're all fairly NSFW.

Really shores up our depth, and barely took a nick out of our assets. Good move.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Bennett - Jankowski - Shore
Versteeg - Stajan - Lazar
Brouwer
Hathaway
Stewart
Depth, injuries, size and strength. The latter 2 depending upon the game.
I.e. Maybe against Ed., LA or Anaheim in the next month.

Kind of crowded there when Ferland and Versteeg are back.

Bottom six will probably look something like

Stewart- Jankowski- Shore
Lazar- Stajan- Brouwer

Hathaway

until Ferland and Versteeg are back.

Hoping these moves are today's equivalent to getting Simon and Nilson.

Kane hasn't been a threat for years. He can finally live out his Rap career aspirations in the SJ weather. California Love homie...

I don’t hate the move I just don’t think the player is any good (does anyone?) and I’m worried that it leads to us waiving Hathaway, who is younger and a better player by essentially all metrics

Why waive Hathaway when he can just stay up here, even if Hath has to munch alot of popcorn from now on??

We don't have to waive anyone - there is no 23 man roster limit for the remainder of the season.

Having a deep bench, and being able to roll guys in and out, keeping them hungry, is exactly what is needed to get the most possible out of the bottom 6.

Also, injuries.

Surprised some are unhappy about the two acquisitions. Flames needed depth but didn't have the assets to make a big move. Not sure what some were expecting, but it's a good thing we didn't trade any more picks or a top end prospect. It's a shame Poirier, Shinkaruk and Klimchuk didn't work out, or we could've filled some of these spots internally.
