Sharks fans, Owen Nolan?

He would be a great addition (similar to the Roenick signing), but the reason he's unsigned is that he's looking for a 2 year, $4MM dollar deal. Most teams are finding that steep for a 38 yr old forward who last hit the 50pt mark 7 seasons ago. Unless he comes down in price (or contract length) I don't see him playing anywhere next season.

easily i think of the popular public of San Jose followers are overly beneficial. San Jose is an extremely solid group and that they are crimson warm, yet they have not distanced themselves from a the two warm Anaheim squad nor caught Detroit... and the Sharks checklist head-to-head against those 2 communities is dismal. San Jose complete with 107 factors final 12 months and could probably end with on the component of an identical this 12 months... so how lots greater effective is this group than final 12 months? Do Sharks followers understand that final years communities margin of victory grew to become into double what that's that this 12 months? Do the San Jose honest endure in strategies the final time they locked up the 2nd seed interior the playoffs? Or that they have been the main well liked group interior the West going into the playoffs final 12 months (and the 12 months before, and the 12 months before that)? What makes followers think of this group, with somewhat lots an identical working factors as final 12 months... will fare any greater effective interior the playoffs? i'm no longer asserting they do no longer look to be a competent group, yet so some distance as odds, they're in the back of the crimson Wings and geese while it consists of triumphing the West. they have yet to teach they might beat the two of those communities... and collectively as Detroit's modern-day playoff checklist isn't all that great, Anaheim has been the terrific in series play by skill of a huge margin over the final 5 seasons. i think of the followers you're speaking approximately are tempering their expectancies in reaction to previous performances. I additionally think of that's what the terrific followers do. playstation : Deep 6. 2 of the three communities in California sell out each and every night. Detroit can no longer even sell out. TDK: definite, that have "might" be the distinction... however the Sharks in years previous have not been w/out veteran management. San Jose has been a playoff group each and every 12 months for the final 5 seasons and has no longer buolt upon fulfillment interior the previous - in certainty they're regressed. so some distance as Nabokov is in contact, understanding he's the main guy could be intense-high quality, yet his GAA and W/L checklist is lots greater a manufactured from great group protection than his very own accumen - his SV% is on the backside 0.33 of all netminders - that must be subject for the Sharks while dealing with good communities like Detroit and Anaheim - a subject which has performed out in dropping records vs. the two those good convention foes.

I think he could be a good addition depending on how much money he wants. He scored 16 goals on the offensively challenged Wild, so I think he could probably get 20 goals for the sharks. But again this would all depend if he was willing to make, more than likely, the league minimum

He was a former captain of San Jose so he knows what its like to work with San Jose and there style of play so I think he could be a solid player for them (I mean not really a great player but 3rd line 2nd line at the best) I think he could be a good (not great) for san jose but I belive the clock is ticking for the sharks so with Nabokov gone I think this year mite be there last chance at winning the cup for a while

he could be a good pickup if he was cheap, if he wants over a million i would say no go.
