MARC MARQUEZ - eat the acid

if you want to continue for endless hours nerding out abt it i highly recommend Not A Cast and Girls Gone Canon pods! i have been listening to both a few hours at a time for what feels like 4 years now lol

no place for him sadly especially with the Advent of Ivar. if getting a number 2oa winger ended ekkys tenure im sure it didnt mean good things for musty and that was before we signed marchment yesterday. i would expect him in the ahl for another year if he is not traded. in the end i will probably anticipate he’s getting traded, probably for a dmen or some package.

i was excited to see misa but my expectations were tempered on account of the roster not being as good on paper and with the knowledge its very hard to come in as a rookie from juniors. i wanted misa to go to college (same as the sharks org) which he declined so his only options were making the nhl team out of camp or being sent back to saginaw. ivar comparatively seems much more nhl ready coming from the shl which is a pro mens league (all of the sharks staff mention this when saying he’s ready to make his debut this season) so who knows if the regular growing pains for rookies will apply to him. the roster around stenberg is also much better imo not only on defense (the bar was in hell) but because all the younger players like graf misa mack will cherny have had an additional year to improve. he is also a winger which helps! less defensive responsibilities and he will be plugged in on a good line immediately

[woman pacing out of her mind] ive willfully decided to like the trouba signing and nurse trade. the money is bad. the money and term is so bad for both of them. whatever. SO bad. but to get anything of actual value on the market (harley or nikishin in our dreams) via trade you risk giving up a tonnnn of assets (actual players not picks or prospects) that the sharks cant afford to do and would critically wound all aspects of the lineup and vision moving forward. i dont want to give up graf i dont want to lose cherny or will. signing trouba in a competitive free agency when he had 4 other teams trying to sign him to a fat contract meant the sharks had to overpay and go longer on term which is to be expected. the nurse trade is bafflingly bad w no retention but who else would we play? vinny getting paid a bajillion dollars in washington when he is also not good and wouldnt re sign w the sharks. whatever. for two years its fine. the later years do worry me but i cant think abt that now. we have plenny ef time. for sammy d and kess and polkhamp to prove if theyre good. for buster keaton v and lin to play another year of college then get ahl time. these fuckass stupid contracts just buy you time which you needed. mack accelerated the timeline way too fast. this keeps you in a developmental stage until you really need to really hit the gas. we can make the playoffs still i guess. also all our starlet forwards are barely six foot.. now we have massive dudes w massive reputations (the mid the bad the ugly) that can create space for them. is this anything. can we have hope. can we change the ocean tides.
