I dont know what the Sharks are thinking. they traded a great coach, a great defensemen, and now their team captain! i know. they are having a bad year, and nolan was set to get $$$$. @0 mil over next 3 years. but still! now we gotta see the sharks rot and rebuild again for a few years!

 

I aqree, bad times ahead for the Sharks. My personal theory is that they should have kept the team intact for the rest of the season. I believe they would have pulled it out alot better than what we are seeing now....if they trade Sturm...I am done.

 

what was diff from last year and this year?

how many key players did they lose???

 

Not many differences at all. I think that Nabokhov's hold-out in the beginning of the season affected the team. They couldn't get a good start. Ron Wilson, when he was an analyst, projected the Sharks to win the whole thing this year. It's ironic that the Sharks picked him to be coach after Sutter got fired. It's kinda like saying, "Oh yeah?! Prove it!"

 

there was no difference from last year. the team was basically the same. I think it was just a fluke year and they woulda turned it around next year. but i guess management didnt agree. Sutter, Ragnarson, and now Nolan gone. i cant believe it.

 

Don't forget Sundstrom, he's gone too.
