Here's our too-early San Jose Sharks' off-season plan!***Quick aside, Keegan's microphone is muffled a bit this episode. We're sorry, everyone! One day, we'll have pristine audio every single time. But not this day. This is kind of like those workplace accident signs where they knock off 100 days since the last accident and replace it with zero. Again. Sigh.***This week, Sheng and Keegan outline some potential off-season moves that could help make the 2024-2025 version of the Sharks be less embarrassing than this year's. (53:45)But before all that, we have a few quick-hitting topics this week (1:15). We start with Will Smith watch: Is he signing or not? (2:30)Sheng and Keegan preview the upcoming May 7th Draft Lottery odds and each run a simulation at Tankathon. Do the Sharks win? (6:10)We highlight what Sheng has heard about some potential candidates for Sharks head coach. (13:15)John McCarthy and the rest of the San Jose Barracuda coaching staff will be returning next season, despite some poor on-ice results. Why do Sheng and Keegan support their return? (29:30)The Sharks want goaltending coach Thomas Speer back, even after David Quinn was let go. (37:21)Finally, we revisit our pre-season bold predictions...how did Sheng and Keegan do? (42:20)Finally, our off-season plan! Which of their free agents should the Sharks keep or let go? Who should they target in the free agency market? Can they make a good trade? (53:45)How much cap and roster space could the San Jose Sharks have? (54:45)Which of the Sharks' UFAs and RFAs will they keep? Who should they allow to walk? (57:45)What's the order of positional need for San Jose this summer? (1:14:33)Let's talk to free agents first -- Sheng has a couple intriguing longshot UFA targets. (1:22:14)Keegan offers a longshot UFA signing at defense. (1:35:55)Then, Keegan shares his favorite lower-end UFA targets. (1:39:00)Sheng has a former Sharks defenseman in mind. (1:41:30)Finally, Keegan offers some forward UFAs with some upside. (1:46:10)That's free agency, how can the San Jose Sharks improve via trade? (1:58:24)Keegan proposes a Mikael Granlund trade. (1:58:44)Going back, Sheng discusses why the Mikey Eyssimont trade was such a mistake, and how the thinking behind the deal helped pave the way for a disastrous 2023-24. (2:03:30)What should Grier's trade philosophy be this summer? (2:16:25)Sheng is prioritizing distressed assets – who are a couple defenseman that the Sharks could target via trade? (2:17:55)How about a trio of center candidates? (2:20:51)Are the San Jose Sharks a better team with a couple of these realistic additions? (2:32:05) ★ Support this podcast ★

The Carolina Hurricanes signed Finnish forward Juha Jaaska to a one-year entry-level contract. What does the GM think of the newly acquired player and where does he fit in for the 2024-25 season? There seems to be concern surrounding another Finn in Jesperi Kotkaniemi. He has been healthy scratched three times in the last two weeks. What are the plans and where does he fit in with the Hurricanes? Lastly, the Hurricanes traveled to Boston to face the Bruins in game one of the four-game road trip. What was the biggest takeaway in the final regular season matchup between both teams? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms:

Martin Necas' 20th goal of the season, which came on Carolina's first power play of the day, got the Hurricanes off to a great start and they went on to beat the New Jersey Devils, 4-2.  Jesperi Kotkaniemi's sharp angle shot, caught Devils goalie Nico Daws off guard early in the 3rd and it went over his shoulder, off of the far post, then hit Daws in the back before tumbling into the net, giving Carolina a 2-1 lead they wouldn't relinquish.  Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo Teravainen each scored into an empty net and the Canes completed a season sweep of New Jersey.  Pyotr Kochetkov made 23 saves in the win.

Spencer Martin got his second straight start, made 15 saves and helped the Canes to a 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.  The win helps the Hurricanes claw to within 4 points of the Rangers in the Metro.  Six different goal-scorers for Carolina as Martin Necas and Sebastian Aho each had a goal and an assist.  Michael Bunting, Brent Burns, Jordan Martinook and Jesperi Kotkaniemi all scored, with the latter snapping a 22-game, 2 month goal drought.  Necas' 17th goal of the year was the only marker in an otherwise dominant 1st period that also saw Carolina kill off almost 2 minutes of a 5-on-3 power play.  Canes are off until Thursday when they'll take on the Atlantic Division leading Florida Panthers here in Raleigh

The Carolina Hurricanes put up 6 the hard way in a 6-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Hurricanes doubled down and then some on the power play, scoring three times with the man advantage. Andrei Svechnikov had a seat at the table for the first time in two weeks and cashed in the game's first goal and also delivered the game's biggest hits. Jordan Staal, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Michael Bunting, Seth Jarvis and Brady Skjei also scored. And, Pyotr Kotchetkov made 30 saves and was outstanding for the 4th straight game.

Andrei Svechnikov scored his first of the year in his 12th game of the season helping the Hurricanes to a 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday night.  Carolina and Columbus started the third period still looking for the game's first goal, but Karil Marchecnko and Johhny Gaudreau each scored -- with both goals deflecting off Carolina defenseman Brady Skjei -- to give the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead roughly 7 minutes into the period.  But, goals by Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Brady Skjei got the Canes even and Andrei took a pass from Sebastian Aho for the game-winner with 1:55 left in regulatiion.  Pyotr Kochetkov won his 3rd game of the season, stopping 21 of 23 Columbus shots.

The Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a 3-0 second period deficit to defeat the New York Islanders, 4-3, in overtime.  Sebastian Aho's 2nd goal of the year sent them back to Raleigh with 4 of 6 points on a 3-game road trip.  Jalen Chatfield's 1st goal of the season came just 32 seconds after the Islanders scored to make it 3-0 and started the comeback.  Dimiti Orlov also scored his first of the year -- and first in a Carolina uniform -- followed by Jesperi Kotkaniemi's 5th as the Canes rallied to set up Aho's extra time heroics.  Antti Raanta made 22 saves in the win.

Martin Necas scored twice and assisted on another as the Hurricanes broke their 3-game losing streak with a 3-2 OT win over Seattle. Necas scored his 3rd of the season late in the 1st period to cut a 2-goal deficit in half. Then with less than 5 minutes to play, he found Jesperi Kotkaniemi in the slot for the goal that brought Carolina even at 2. Then with under 10 seconds left in overtime, Necas took a pass from Tony DeAngelo and whipped home the game winner. Carolina will try to win their second straight when they host San Jose on Friday night.

At 12:51 of overtime, Jesper Fast's deflection of a Jesperi Kotkaniemi shot slipped through New Jersey goaltender Akira Schmid sending the Carolina Hurricanes to the Eastern Conference Finals.  It will be the second trip to the NHL's final four in the five years Rod Brind'Amour has been behind the bench.  The goal was Fast's 5th of the playoffs after scoring 10 in 80 games this season.  It was also his second overtime goal in the postseason having ended Game 2 in the opening round series with the Islanders.  Jaccob Slavin and Brent Burns each scored as well for Carolina.  Slavin's goal came in the 1st minute of the second period, while Burns' came in the last minute of the middle frame.  Burns' 2nd of the playoffs and second in as many games, tied the score at 2.  Frederik Andersen made 27 saves for his 5th playoff win and raised his save percentage to .931 in 6 games.  Carolina awaits the winner of the series between the Panthers and Maple Leafs with Florida holding a 3-1 lead heading to Friday's Game 5 in Toronto.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Kansas City Royals 4, Chicago White Sox 3 Tigers and Cubs were off Royals 4, White Sox 3 – Fermin’s bunt in ninth gives Royals 4-3 win over White Sox Freddy Fermin followed a leadoff walk by Nick Pratto and a single by Matt Duffy with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt in the ninth inning, giving the Kansas City Royals a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Reynaldo López took the loss for the White Sox. Scott Barlow pitched a perfect ninth to earn the win. The Royals nursed a 3-1 lead into the eighth, but the White Sox tied it up with a two-out rally against Aroldis Chapman. Andrew Vaughn and pinch-hitter Carlos Pérez singled, and Luis Robert Jr. bounced a tying double off the chalk of the left-field line. Tonight Seattle (Gonzales 2-0) at Detroit (Boyd 2-2), 6:40 p.m.             News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 6:15 Chicago Cubs (Smyly 3-1) at Minnesota (Gray 4-0), 8:10 p.m. Houston (France 0-0) at Chicago White Sox (Kopech 1-3), 8:10 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association Playoffs – Round 2 (Best of 7) Last Night Boston Celtics 95, Philadelphia 76ers 86                                (Series tied 3-3) Denver Nuggets 125, Phoenix Suns 100                                   (DEN wins 4-2) Celtics 95, Sixers 86 – Tatum’s 4th-quarter 3s push Celtics past 76ers 95-86; force Game 7 Jayson Tatum missed his first six 3-pointers before he drilled two straight clutch ones late in the game that pushed the Celtics past the Philadelphia 76ers 95-86 to send the Eastern Conference semifinals back to Boston for Game 7. The defending conference champs are in familiar territory. Boston trailed 3-2 last season in the second round against Milwaukee before it won Game 6 on the road and the clincher at home. Game 7 is Sunday in Boston. Tatum scored 19 points. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey each scored 26 points for the 76ers. Nuggets 125, Suns 100 – Nuggets blow past Suns 125-100, advance to Western Conference finals Nikola Jokic scored 32 points, Jamal Murray added 26 and the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020 by beating the shorthanded Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 on Thursday night. Denver’s series victory comes two seasons after the Nuggets were embarrassed in a second-round postseason sweep by the Suns. This time, it was the Suns who were embarrassed. On their home floor, too. Denver jumped to an 81-51 lead by halftime. The Nuggets will play in the conference finals for the first time since they lost to the Lakers in five games in the Florida bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tonight New York Knicks at Miami Heat, 7:30 p.m.                                (MIA leads 3-2) Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers, 10:00 p.m.          (LAL leads 3-2) NBA – Lakers coach Ham expects Anthony Davis to play in Game 6 vs Warriors Lakers coach Darvin Ham said he excepts Anthony Davis to play Friday night in Los Angeles, adding that the eight-time All-Star big man is “not showing any signs of anything” and is not in the NBA’s concussion protocol after being hit in the head late in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. Davis is “doing great,” Ham said, and is probable for Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors. Davis was hurt by what appeared to be an inadvertent shot to the head from Golden State’s Kevon Looney midway through the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 121-106 victory in San Francisco. NBA – Heat, Lakers get another chance to move on; Knicks, Warriors on brink Whatever it takes. That’s the credo at this time of year in the NBA playoffs. It’s why New York teammates Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes are playing 48 minutes. It’s why Miami’s Jimmy Butler is playing through ankle soreness. It’s why Golden State’s Stephen Curry is taking more shots per game than he ever has in a playoff run. It’s why the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis will likely play through whatever is ailing him after he had to leave early Wednesday night. The Heat play host to New York and the Lakers play host to Golden State on Friday. Both home clubs have 3-2 series leads. NHL – National Hockey League – 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs – Round 2 (Best of 7) Last Night Carolina Hurricanes 3, New Jersey Devils 2 – OT                       (CAR wins 4-1) Dallas Stars 5, Seattle Kraken 2                                           (DAL leads 3-2) Hurricanes 3, Devils 2 – OT – Jesper Fast scores on OT power play, Hurricanes eliminate Devils in Game 5 Jesper Fast deflected in a shot by Jesperi Kotkaniemi on a power play at 7:09 of overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a series-ending 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. Fast’s deflection while shielding Akira Schmid set off a celebration for the Hurricanes, who never led until the final play and twice trailed by a goal before winning the best-of-seven series 4-1 to reach the Eastern Conference final. In the first tight game of the second-round matchup, Fast made amends for when he popped a puck over the goal in front of an open net in the first period. Jaccob Slavin and Brent Burns also scored for Carolina, and Frederik Andersen made 27 saves. Stars 5, Kraken 2 – Hintz has 2 goals, Pavelski scores again as Stars take 3-2 series lead over Kraken Roope Hintz scored two goals and had an assist, Joe Pavelski scored his seventh goal of the second-round series and the Dallas Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 5-2 in Game 5. The Stars have a 3-2 series lead. Pavelski also had an assist on Hintz’s second goal, which ricocheted hard out of the net with 8:37 left for a two-goal lead, though play continued for nearly a half-minute before a replay review that confirmed the score. Radek Faksa added an empty-netter. Game 6 is Saturday in Seattle. Adam Larsson and Jared McCann scored for Seattle. Tonight Florida Panthers at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 p.m.                   (FLA leads 3-1) Edmonton Oilers at Vegas Golden Knights, 10:00 p.m.               (Series tied 2-2) NFL – NFL season kicks off with Super Bowl champion Chiefs hosting LionsS Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will kick off the season against the upstart Detroit Lions in a matchup of high-powered offenses and they’ll host Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch on “Monday Night Football” in Week 11. Aaron Rodgers will make his New York Jets debut in the first Monday night game of the season against the Buffalo Bills and later faces the Miami Dolphins in the NFL’s first Black Friday game on Nov. 24. Thanks to Rodgers’ arrival in the Big Apple, the Jets will have six nationally televised games, including their first Sunday night game since 2011 vs. the Chiefs on Oct. 1. Indy500 – Defending Indy 500 champ Ericsson back at Brickyard, seeking new contract Marcus Ericsson spent most of his career trying to show he could win races. Now the defending Indianapolis 500 champion and current IndyCar points leader has another goal: proving his newfound success is no fluke. The 32-year-old Swede is making a strong case for a contract extension with Chip Ganassi Racing. He won the season-opening race in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has four straight top-10 finishes. He now returns to Indy with his image plastered all around the city.

Frederik Andersen stopped 28 shots, Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored twice and the Carolina Hurricanes dusted the New Jersey Devils, 6-1 to grab a 2-0 series lead.  Game 3 in on Sunday afternoon at the Prudential Center in Newark.  After a scoreless first period, the Hurricanes scored 4 times in the 2nd period with Kotkaniemi getting an early brace.  His power play goal at 1:35 gave the Canes a 1-0 lead and then scored roughly 2 minutes later to double the score.  Jordan Staal and Martin Necas would score in the final 3 minutes of the period to make it 4-0.  Carolina got 3rd period goals from Jordan Martinook and Stefan Noesen to close out the scoring.  In his 3 playoff starts, Andersen has a 3-0 record with a 0.97 goals against average and a .963 save percentage.

The Carolina Hurricanes got off to a super start in a 5-1 win over the Devils to open up their best-of-seven series.  Brett Pesce and Seth Jarvis each scored during a dominant opening period that saw Carolina out-shoot New Jersey 10-1.  Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Brady Skjei and Jesper Fast would add goals and Frederik Andersen made 17 saves in the win.  He's 2-0 in the playoffs with 50 saves on 52 shots on goal.  Also starring, Carolina's penalty kill which was 2 for 2 on the night and has now stopped 19 of 20 power plays this postseason.  Game 2 is Friday night at 8:00 at PNC Arena.

Antti Raanta made 20 saves, Stefan Noesen, Jordan Martinook, Brent Burns and Jesperi Kotkaniemi all scored as the Canes beat Detroit, 4-1, ending a 3-game losing streak.  The two points earned also means that Carolina can do no worse than finish second in the division, thus they will have home ice advantage for at least their opening round series.  The Hurricanes can clinch the Motropolitan Division on Thursday by beating the Panthers in Florida.  Carolina can also win the divisioin with a loss, either in regulation or in overtime, as long as their result at least matches that of the Devils who will close out their season in Wshington.  

The Carolina Hurrricanes got the 4th overtime game winning goal of the season and beat the Ottawa Senators, 3-2, at PNC Arena Tuesday night.  The win was Carolina's 3rd in a row and helped them maintain their 3-point lead over the New Jersey Devils in the Metropolitan Division.  Jersey defeated Pittsburgh at home on Tuesday as well.  After goals from Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Brady Skjei staked the Canes to a 2-0 lead after the first period the Senators really assumed control of the game.  Claude Giroux scored midway through the 2nd period to halve the lead and Brady Tkachuk followed in the 3rd with a power play goal and Carolina was just trying to survive into overtime.  And, in the OT is where Necas does his best work.  His 4 OT GWG's are best in the NHL.  Antti Raanta made 26 saves for the win and is now 15-0-2 in his last 19 appearances.  He's not lost in regulation since November 12 at Colorado.  The Canes next play Thursday night in Nashville.

Jordan Martinook's first goal in more than two months gave the Carolina Hurricanes a 2-1 lead early in the 3rd period and then Frederik Andersen and company did the rest as the Canes held on for the win.  Coupled with the Devils loss in Winnipeg Carolina's lead in the Metropolitan Division is now 3 points with 6 games left to play.  Martinook's goal was his 12th of the season and his first since a February 1st win in Buffalo.  Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored for the Hurricanes, his 15th on the season and first in 10 games.  Kotkaniemi's goal evened the score midway through the 2nd period.  On the play, Jesse Puljujarvi registered his first point as a Hurricanes player, getting the primary assist on the game-tying goal.  Andersen made 21 saves for his first win in 4 starts.  The Canes are off on Monday and will host Ottawa on Tuesday night at PNC Arena.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored two goals -- a gorgeous, wrap-around marker in the 2nd period and then a 120 foot, empty netter with 4 seconds left -- as the Hurricanes beat the Winnipeg Jets, 5-3 at PNC Arena.  Carolina was in dire need of a win.  They'd lost two straight, saw their division lead evaporate after consecutive shutout losses.  AND, they were playing for the first time since learning that Andrei Svechnikov was done for the year with an ACL tear.  They needed a win in the worst way.  Jaccob Slavin and Brady Skjei got the offense going first, then Kotkaniemi and Jack Drury handled the rest.  Drury's goal was his first of the year and came a day after being recalled from the minors.  Expect him to geet regular playing time the rest of the way.  Canes are off until Friday when they play in Toronto.  That is the first of a 3-game road trip that will take them to Philadelphia and then Madison Square Garden to meet the Rangers.

Jesper Fast's late 3rd period goal brought Carolina even and allowed Jesperi Kotkaniemi's shootout winner to give the Canes a 4-3 win over the Canadiens. The win gives Carolina a 4-point lead over New Jersey -- with a game in hand -- after the Devils lost at home to Toronto. Jaccob Slavin and Brady Skjei each scored for Carolina, who spent the majority of the first two periods making a mess with the puck. Turnovers led to all three Montreal goals as the Habs took a 3-2 lead into the 3rd. But, Jesper Fast forced a turnover that led to his rebound goal and, ultimately, to the Canes' 20th road win of the season. Carolina is off until taking on the Flyers at PNC Arena on Thursday

Teuvo Teravainen's second career hat trick was one of many highlights in the Canes' 6-0 pasting of the Lightning. Jesperi Kotkaniemi had the first 5-point game of his NHL career, notching a goal and four assists, Martin Necas had three helpers, and the Hurricanes went 4 for 5 on the power play in winning their second straight game. Carolina is now 7 for 9 with the man advantage the last two nights with the addition of defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who tallied a power play goal for the second straight night and tossed in a couple of assists as well. Freddie Andersen didn't have to do much, but a shut out is a shut out -- his first of the year, and Carolina's 7th as a team. The Canes lead the Metro by 2 points over the Devils with a game in hand.

Artemi Panarin scored 4 goals, 3 in a decisive third period as the Rangers beat the Hurricanes 6-2 at PNC Arena. The loss ended Carolina's 7 game winning streak and trimmed their lead over the Devils to 3 points in the Metropolitan Division. The Canes led 2-1 on goals from Teuvo Teravainen and Jesperi Kotkaniemi until Panarin's 1st goal, with just over 2:00 remained in the 2nd period. From that point on, the Hurricanes sort of fell apart. Panarin's 2nd of the night was the product of a Vincent Trocheck steal and proved to be the game winner. Carolina is off until playing in Washington on Tuesday.

Everything was going well until there was about 1 minute left in the 2nd period. Then the Devils scored twice in an 18 second span and Carolina went on to lose to New Jersey, 5-3, for their 4th straight loss. Pyotr Kochetkov struggled for the 3rd straight game and Carolina wasted two shorthanded goals, one by Jesperi Kotkaniemi and the other by Sebastian Aho in the loss. Carolina will head to Columbus to try and snap the skid on Thursday night.

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Florida Panthers, 4-0, at PNC Arena Friday night extending their winning streak to 10 games. That's the longest in franchise history. It also extends their stretch of getting at least one point to 16 consecutive games, which was already a franchise best. Carolina used special teams to dispatch the Panthers. The Canes scored three times on the power play and turned aside all six of Florida's man-advantage situations. It was the first time all year the Hurricanes rang up three power play goals in a game and the fourth goal came just seconds after another power play expired. Stefan Noesen, Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen and Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored goals, while Brent Burns and Seth Jarvis each had two assists. The Hurricanes will next play on Sunday -- New Years Day -- in New Jersey in a game that starts at 3:00.

Pyotr Kochetkov makes 37 saves, Jordan Staal scored his 9th of the season -- and the 5th time in the last 9 games -- and the Carolina Hurricanes reclaimed the top spot in the Metropolitan Division with a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Jesperi Kotkaniemi opened the scoring just 20 seconds into the opening period winning a couple of net-front battles en route to his 4th goal of the year. Staal and Teuvo Teravainen would score twice in a 2:04 span of the 2nd period, the latter coming while shorthanded, as Carolina led 3-0 after 40 minutes. Stefan Noesen's 6th of the season, late in the 3rd period closed out the scoring. Canes will next play on Thursday in Pittsburgh.

On a night when Carolina was down to 11 healthy forwards the Hurricanes thoroughly dominated the Islanders in a 3-0 win. Pyotr Kochetkov turned aside 16 shots, Paul Stastny scored his first goal of the season and Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jordan Staal added 3rd period goals in the win. The captain's line, with Jordan Martinook and Stefan Noesen, was dominant -- again. Carolina is 4-0-1 on this 6-game road trip that ends Tuesday night in Detroit. In all, the Canes have gone 5-0-4 in their last 9 on the road and are 5-0-2 in their last 7 games.

Sebastian Aho notched his 5th career hat trick and Martin Necas added to his team-leading point total as Carolina beat Buffalo, 5-3, at PNC Arena. The Hurricanes are now 8-2-1 on the year, one point up on the Devils in the Metropolitan Division. Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen and Seth Jarvis all has a pair of assists and Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored his first goal of the season in the win. Antti Raanta allowed a couple of shaky first period goals, but rallied to play a very strong game for the final two periods as he runs his record to 3-0-1 on the year.
