Canes were in on that Timo deal but for some reason SJ kept going to the Devils to match over the last week and last minute told them they were out. 

 

It was reportedly Jarvis plus a first

I'm glad the Canes didn't make that move. Jarvis will be here for a while; Meier, not so much.

I find that hard to believe. NJ didn’t give up anything close to the value of a Jarvis. Why would we be expected to? Either SJ was negotiating in bad faith or they just value those prospects from NJ a lot more than the rest of the NHL does.

Nothing earth-shattering, but confirms a lot of what has been reported already.

“We’ve been very active and involved in multiple deals,” Waddell said. “The one thing we’re not going to do is give any young players off our roster. And that’s been a focus of some teams that we’ve been dealing with.

Wads wouldn't name names, but did admit that Nikishin is untouchable and that SJ wanted guys we weren't willing to move.

Word is they did act in bad faith and it pissed off the canes.

Honestly, I think SJ's GM is an idiot and a dick. I hope we never make any trade with SJ as long as that schmuck is their GM.

I feel bad for Sharks fans because they all know they got trade raped in that Timo trade. Seems like most of them don't like their GM. They are going to be a bottom 5 NHL team for at least the next few years.

Ok, so I know someone who works for the Canes and I am not trying to be "that guy," but they said Jarvis was never offered.  He was off limits as well as Necas and Nishi who were both asked about. 

They offered a 1st, 2nd, and a high prospect (I think Morrow, but no names were given) and the Canes would take on his salary.  I'll just leave it at that, take it for what it's worth.

It is very apparent SJ was trying to play NJ and Carolina off of each other, Canes moved on and said no thanks.  Really surprised the Sharks retained salary and didn't get more, but it could be they overplayed their hand.

The GM’s are brothers.

The GMs of the Sharks and Devils?  I don't think so, although NJ's GM is Tom Fitzgerald and his brother Scott is the director of player personnel.

Mike Grier is the GM for San Jose.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
