As bad as the sharks have been this past 2 weeks, there isn't need to panic just yet. they are 3 points (functionally) out of 5th place in the west. The sharks are struggling, but when pavs comes back, that will boost the offense and if dougie can get a dman, then the team will suddenly really resemble last year. Chicago last year was dominant and so fast, but vancouver doesnt scare me as much and neither do chicago or detroit this year. The west is winnable once your in the PO's. Obviously, they miss blake a ton, but there are chips to be dealt, and dougie has been shrewd before.
As frustrating as heater has been, I'd rather have him than michalek and a minor leaguer that cost the same.
And as annoying as it was that he overpaid carle, I'd still rather have boyle than carle, wishart (who is still working in the A), and Kyle Palmieri (who came from the 1st rounder in '09) in that deal... though palmieri looks like he might end up legit.
I surely would do the jumbo trade the same if given the chance.
Dougie has made several small errors in his tenure, but in the big name deals for top line players, he has managed to come out far ahead. Perhaps he has one more of those steals in store...
