You got the timeline a bit wrong - the first trade of the teardown was Brent Burns to Carolina in July 2022, shortly after Mike Grier took over. Meier was traded in February of 2023, and then Karlsson in August of 2023. Also, the Burns trade not only created cap space but helped set up the Karlsson trade by clearing the way for Karlsson to be the main star on the blue line in 2022-23. Karlsson's contract was regarded as an absolutely unmovable albatross at the time, but his 100+ point season in 2022-23, which would likely not have happened were he still sharing the right side of the blue line with Burns, changed that.

@SNHockeyyoutube Should be a fun time. Now just need a good solid ice guardian to protect these young kids.

The end began with Joe Pavelski leaving. THAT was the dagger in the heart.

Saying the rebuild started in 19-20 is completely inaccurate. The collapse started then, but Doug Wilson was still, unsuccessfully of course, trying to cobble together a contender around the existing core. As late as 2022, this team was signing aging players to long-term NMC deals. It was not until Mike Grier was hired that the actual tear down phase of the rebuild started.

Blackwood is being underrated imo. On the better side of 30, he stood on his head some nights for an AHL roster. Now that he has a somewhat competitive defense in front of him, he could put up numbers for San Jose in the next few years. His save percentage was .899 this year if i remember correctly. Martin Jones in 2019 put up an .896 SV% on a team that went to the WCF. Goaltending is not a major issue for SJ going forward. Just wanted to put that out there.

I can’t believe GMMG managed to turn Erik Karlsons basically un tradable contract into an 11th over all pick and future top D-man. Really hoping to see Vegas take a dip this year after losing core players in free agency to help bump that first rounder they gave us. If they sharks can manage to get another two top 15 picks again this coming year we could be looking at an insanely stacked prospect pool at the end of next season. Super excited for the next 2-3 years and hoping to see the sharks return to the glory days.

I think Grier is doing a great job. A lot of people were upset with the return for Meier, but he was going to leave at the end of the season anyway.

I am super excited for the sharks future, goaltending is definitely something that will get addressed soon enough

Pretty good video overall. However, it's not the goal tending that needs the issue. If you look at Blackwood's stats on paper, they don't look outstanding. But if you break down how many shots were taken on him per game, you'd see he was clearly fighting for his life and came out extremely well in comparison. His first game with the sharks, he went 49 of 50. The goaltender's the last line. In reality, the sharks had no defense this year while having very few goals and that's where the focus needs to be.

If the Blackhawks would have drafted demidov and eiserman then i would say the nhl should watch out for them but they blew that draft. Montreal getting demidov and hage.... Watch out for Montreal they will be a POWERHOUSE in a few years.
