It'd be best if Will Smith spent another year in college as I think he still needs to mature more even though it's been two years since that Chris Rock incident.
Smith lead all of mens college hockey.. he’s a big fish in a small pond and would continue to just dominate the competition.. best thing is to transition to NHL which is where he can continue to grow his game.. he’s not growing at the college level Anymore
@@mikevarela1059 He didnt win his college the championship though and he really wanted to. The sharks are still better off to slide his contract for 2 years because it makes him a cheaper shark longer.
Both Smith and Celebrini were dominant at the college level. I have concerns that their development may stagnate if they both stay another season at the NCAA level.
The timing for the Sharks hiring a new head coach and developing those franchise players together are perfect. IMO, they should sign the Sharks this summer. Yes, we are not going to win many games next season, but if we let them stay in college, it'll take another year for them to adjust to the NHL. That is a waste of time for both parties.
Another year of tanking and a higher pic if they stay in college+ it would be a better transition to a better team as eklund and others improve, sending them back another year isn’t the worst idea
As a sharks fan, I’m aware enough to see that even if we had Celebrini, Smith, Eklund, Graf, Musty, Bystedt, and our 14th pick out on the ice the next season, our record wouldn’t improve significantly. Let them stay and develop in college one more year
What do they have to prove? Smith dominated in BC, Celebrini was the Hobey Baker winner, 14th pick gonna be a stud player too....I think they learn more with the 'Cuda even vs. NCAA play. I see the point of learning to how to "win" the big prize (Beanpot, NCAA title, Hockey East title, etc), but it would be more for fun than actual development. Celebrini clearly is ready for a challenge, and Smith could use help in the D-zone--both would help moving up, whether that's with the Sharks or 'Cuda.
they need to level up to development against pros. otherwise it's just wasting a year of wear and tear on the body. the biggest risk is if we dont end up with another high draft pick next year but as you said, we probably still will so ...
“It’s California, the fans don’t know nothing”… another reason that’s flawed is because CA is a migratory state and many people come from hockey regions.
The sharks are better off to tank 1 more year. A sure thing top 3 #1. and #2. and the knights #1. The sharks could bring up the best Barracuda players though just to see where they at. This might lead to a few more wins but might be better for team depth. Grier is better off going all the way with bringing Smith and Celebrini right in or telling both 1 more year away and you both wont have to be on as bad a team.
Was that just a joke by Demers to bring back Jumbo, Patty, Seto and himself? Not that it's a good idea, or a bad one, but would that even be an option at this point? Would those guys even consider coming out of retirement if that was on the table? My teenage self would be beyond excited to see that happen, no matter what the product looks like on the ice... lol The nostalgia factor would be off the charts. i just don't see that being a realistic possibility at all. If ANYTHING, maybe one or two jump on the Coaching or Front Office staff. Thoughts?? Possible? Or not?
No chance lol, but it was funny. The underlying point is still valid though, the veterans they incorporate into the team will be critical to ushering in all the youth (don't underestimate the value of a guy like Nico Sturm in all this, though I'm not sure if he'll stick around beyond this next season)

Very good point about the additional year to adjust. No reason to delay them.

Change the goal song …. That’s where they should start lol
I love the goal song
Want to bring back the old Hey goal song?
Thank you for your thoughtful and informative videos.
Education is important but Sharks hockey is importanter.
😂🤣😂🤣

is this de ja vu or did I see this same content in another video already.
It is, but he split the videos.

Go into coaching as Patty was old and slow at the end.
Smith needs to be pushed out of his comfort zone and sign in San Jose
Sharks are better off tanking though.
first
I hope he goes to college. Kids have no business playing pro sports nowadays.
