Doug Wilson's riskiest offseason ever

I think the Shark's time has come and gone. Best chance was with Blake still on the blue line. This is still a playoff team, but I do not see a Cup for them right now.
I guess stranger things have happened, though.

Getting rid of Heatley will help in the playoffs. Whoever replaces him will contribute (hits, assists, goals, whatever), something Dany didn't do.

Back-to-back Final Four appearances and they blow it up?? Mark my words they wont even escape the 2nd round next season.

agree - I said yesterday if Havlat stays healthy Sharks do better with him than Heatly.

Instead, Wilson went to Home Depot and came home with a pickup truck full of flabbergast.

I love that sentence. :-)

The new Sens.

Or Philadelphia West.

Perhaps there is even more flabbergast to come ? Or does he ramp it up and go to Walmart and get a semi load of bombastic bewilderment?

LMAO - But sorry Harry, Burkie beat him to it.

By April he might be buying a bag of scram.

Don't see how trading away two underperformers who often run cold during the playoffs is considered blowing up the team. Mark Purdy who wrote the article wouldn't know a hockey puck from a hole in the ground. He only writes about hockey during the playoffs and when he is bored with summer baseball. Jerkoff

Harry it really appears that the Flames team building strategy was based on, "Hold my beer and watch this."

If you want to win, just get rid of Joe Thornton.

The West is only getting stronger and younger, while teams with old talent like the Sharks look good on paper, they fail down the stretch in the playoffs. I can't blame him blowing up the team here...

Wilson said after last year he was going to make a lot of big moves, and all he did was let his goalie walk. It's about time he did something and these moves can't hurt. Frees cap space in getting rid of Heatley who became the new no show joe and got a good defenseman in Burns.

Exactly, how is this SO much different than last year? They were successful, fell on their face, he ditched the goalie that aided in a lot of their success. This year, successful, fell on their face, ditched Set and Dany, the latter being a no show. It wasn't even that much work, he didn't talk to other teams: "While I'm here...you want Dany Heatley?"

It isn't. Turning over 10 players from your team, including your top 2 goal scorers, now that is an explosion.
