Les Sharks de San Jose sont confrontés à un logjam défensif, suscitant des rumeurs commerciales autour de Mario Ferraro et Timothy Liljegren. JD Young dissèque la ligne bleue bondée, examinant des ajouts récents comme Dimitri Orlov et John Klingberg. Le saut offensif surprenant de Ferraro la saison dernière, se classant dans le 81e centile, est contrasté avec l’efficacité de Liljegren dans les entrées de zone et l’amélioration des mesures défensives. Des extensions de contrat potentielles sont explorées, avec un hockey en évolution projetant un accord de 4,829 millions de dollars sur six ans pour Ferraro. L’hôte analyse divers scénarios commerciaux, compte tenu de l’impact de l’émergence de la recrue Sam Dickinson sur la stratégie défensive de l’équipe. Young se penche vers la conservation du liljegren et le déplacement potentiellement de Ferraro, notant la valeur commerciale plus élevée de ce dernier sur le marché actuel. Cet épisode offre un aperçu approfondi du dilemme défensif des Sharks et des mouvements potentiels de l’alignement qui pourraient façonner leur ligne bleue pour les années à venir. Les auditeurs auront un aperçu des options de l’équipe, des forces et des faiblesses des joueurs, et les facteurs influençant les décisions de la direction. L’analyse offre une vision complète des défis et des opportunités auxquels sont confrontés les requins lorsqu’ils naviguent dans cette période cruciale de gestion de la liste.

Wasn't Liljegen with the leafs before we got him? Just saying because Toronto had a better defense prior to last year than Montreal and speaks more to his talent struggling to Crack that roster instead of the Habs 2 years ago
I agree with everything. Lijegren has a higher ceiling that he flashed a little, especially when playing against his former team. Bonus that he’s a RHD.
trade 'em both.
The blue line to start 2026-27 projects to Mukh, Dickinson, Thompson, Pohlkamp, Cagnoni, Orlov — or whoever GMMG trades for or signs. I'd be a bit worried about injuries trading both, but its a risk I'd live with. If Nick Leddy stays healthy and his game hasn't fallen off a cliff, he'd be a good player to retain another season.
I'm just not seeing either player being worth anywhere close to the numbers evolving hockey has for them.
Really solid argument about what to do with the players at the end. My heart wants Ferraro around to be a mentor, but also think a change of scenery would be good for him. He's been an absolute trooper during these dog days, and hope he can be a key depth guy for a contender out there
Both are good. But if one wants more money, most likely Ferraro. I wouldnt mind losing him. But has he done enough for his trade value for the price to go up? I say no. Its a hard strecth , but my gut tells me Feraro will go.
Trade Ferraro 50% retained and our 26 2nd to NYR for Schneider. Feel like that’s a win win for both clubs.
If the Sharks do trade either Liljegren or Ferraro and everyone comes out of camp healthy including Dickinson, they would still have to expose Thompson to waivers to assign to the Cuda. If the Sharks traded both Ferraro and Liljegren it might have more to do with their opinion of Thompson… but I think this is unlikely. Ferraro and just Ferraro going might be most likely.
Ferraro easy choice he not a good defense man lower ceiling
I personally think for now they keep both and to start out season we are going 8 D for sure. If Dickinson can show he belongs by mid season trade deadline one might be traded but not now.. there are also injuries
Excellent assessment and I agree with your thoughts. I would rather Liljegren as the prospect pool is LD heavy with two (Dickinson and Muk) pushing for playing time this season and another prospect (Cagnoni) seemingly one season behind them.
Add Furlong and Noah Beckon who will both be playing on the Cuda this season and it is deeper still. Behind them is the oncoming Leo Sahlin Wallenius who is expected to join the Cuda at the end of next season and it is obvious there needs to be room made.
Not that GMMG had ever said he must have a balanced defensive corps. Much the opposite as he has stated multiple times that it would be nice but not a necessity.
Diving into the prospect pool the Sharks have just two more LDs than RDs. That is after adding three LDs in the 2025 draft and no RDs.
It is not the number of LDs vs RDs that is of import to me, it is when they were drafted. Most all the high defensive draft picks were LDs (Dickinson, Wallenius, Wang) while almost no RD was drafted earlier than the 4th round (the exception being Havelid currently on the Cuda roster for next season).
Why? Because it is how the draft fell in relationship to the Sharks draft board. GMMG is a BPA kind of GM so whoever was there when they picked and was the BPA in his eyes he took. On the bright side the Sharks have four picks in the first two rounds of the next draft.
That draft just happens to currently have five RDs projected to go in the first round with the majority going in the top 20. The weakest position in the Sharks prospect pool just happens to be the strong suite of the next draft.
So, when GMMG did not pick the RDs I was hoping for (like Fiddler and brzustewicz) he may already knew what the 2026 draft was looking like. As his head of scouting has stated in an interview, they scout players years before the draft, so I have a sneaking suspicion he already had this all planned out.
And let us not forget, GMMG might not be done adding draft picks for the 2026 draft where they have six picks (two in rounds 1, 2 and 4 and one in the seventh).
That is good management and scouting. Understanding what your needs are and taking advantage of the draft's strong points and not reaching for players while keeping an eye on future drafts strengths and how it fits into the present prospect pool.
I might be wrong and they do not draft a single RD in the 2026 draft, but I have a suspicion they will take two within the first two rounds. Then we might all look at what is the best prospect pool in the NHL and add to it the most balanced prospect pool in the NHL.
The Future is Teal Baby!
Bye bye to the softie liljegren
Thompson is underrated, he’s young/smart and his edgework improved on the blue line… if it comes to putting him on waivers, trade anyone before losing him!!
Please please please trade Ferraro. He is a costly mistake that is on the ice for soooo many goals and has too many giveaways.
Liljegren is an RHD, higher upside, and plays on the right pairing line of the second defensive pairing
Liljegren was in Toronto, not Montreal
Dude. Can anyone help me? I can't find a youth Celebrini jersey for my boy's birthday. Is there some special place I am missing or are they just sold out across the globe? JD? Anyone? I found the Smith youth for my daughter, just no Celebrini. The only ones I can find look like a scam.
I'd rather release Mario before or at the beginning of the season and then see how Tim develops until the transfer deadline (but I think he'll leave this season too).
I don't think any of those players have much to gain from the club, I think and hope that Dickson and Muk will fix it this season.
