DOH 188 – So Long Ginner
February 27th, 2012, 5:40 pm
Another trade deadline day has passed, and the Sharks are again active, trading Jamie McGinn, Michael Sgarbossa, and Mike Kennedy to Colorado for T.J. Galliardi, Daniel Winnik, and a 7th. The Dudes talk about the trade, the worst road trip in memory, and all the other deals that happened.

Agree 100% with you guys, I think Daniel Winnick is the best player in that trade right now. I was pretty bummed when I heard McGinn was traded, but just like Mike I underwent a major about-face when I looked into their advanced stats.
However, my dream of the Sharks rolling 3 scoring lines seems to be at an end. I still wonder what a Wellwood-McGinn combo would have been able to do with McGinn’s shot and Wellwood’s puck possession and passing (Wellwood is having a fantastic season, btw). The top 6 really needs to step up on offense now, as the bottom 6 will not likely be putting crooked numbers on either side of the scoreboard.
Mike Kennedy?
Hey there. This is off topic but I wanted to ask on this site. Why is it that whenever I check out the conference standings, whoever is in third place (which was the Sharks a few weeks back but is now the Coyotes) has the points to be in 7th place or so? Thanks
Because winning the division guarantees you one of the top 3 seeds regardless of your actual point total. Hope that is helpful.
Also your name freaks me out since that is the name I use on Fear The Fin, so when you post I’m like I didn’t post that lol.
Thank Ian. That explains it. Guess I could have googled it. Sorry about the name swoop.
No worries about the name. Its awesome. No one here the dudes or the listeners are generally not going to be jerks about providing a simple answer.
