SAN JOSE SHARKS OWNER CONFIRMS HE REGRETS THE ERIK KARLSSON TRADE WITH THE OTTAWA SENATORS

Out of all the names that I did not think we would be making a video about, Hasso Platner has to be one of them. Now, the reason we are talking about Hasso Platner, the founder of SAP SE software, a guy whom Forbes reported was a multibillion dollar man, is because he also happens to own the San Jose Sharks. And earlier in the week, there was an article published by Shangpang on San Jose Hockey Now where Platner went out there and spoke about owning this team. Okay, he spoke about owning the team, but he also spoke about liking the team. If you didn’t think that Hasso Platner is a huge San Jose Sharks fan before, you’ll definitely believe it after reading this interview and seeing what he has to say about the San Jose Sharks. I’m going to leave a link in the description to Shangpang’s piece. go out there and read it. It’s a really insightful look as to one of the more I’m just going to say likable NHL owners out there. But part of the reason we are talking about this is because of what Platner says in regards to regrets because Shang Pang went out there and tweeted this. Passo says some of his biggest regrets that he was a part of in regards to the San Jose Sharks are that one, Josh Norris was let go and the Sharks never got to draft Stutsa and also two letting Joe Pavevelski walk. Now Joe Pavvelski Movelski, let’s go out there and talk about this first point here and expand on it a little bit more with this tweet by Max Miller. Hasso says, “One mistake I want to share with you was that Tim Stutsla and Josh Norris were let go or not acquired in the draft. Think about the last three years with Stutsla and Norris. This San Jose Sharks team would have been a different team.” He also admitted that it was a mistake not to keep Joe Pavvelski, but this is over. We are looking forward. And essentially what that means is that he regrets the Eric Carlson trade pretty much, right? That’s exactly what he’s saying here. Hey, the Eric Carlson trade, that’s what he regrets. Maybe if we just got Pajama Boy, those things wouldn’t have happened. Okay, that is that’s a big blast in the past there. Yeah, I got to remember John Tiverus was really close to signing with San Jose for $13 million a year before taking a much cheaper deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs at 11 million bucks. Nowadays, everybody’s getting 12 plus, so maybe 11 doesn’t seem like a lot, but back then, oh boy, it was. Now, that contract’s expired. It was seven years ago. But anyways, with this in mind, I wanted to go out there and talk about that same Eric Carlson trade that was made with the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators and how things are looking like. What was it? The trade was 2018, so 2018 to 2025, 7 years later. Because if you just take a look at the additions and the subtractions, San Jose got themselves Eric Carlson, who was signed to an 11.5 million extension by 8 years. And the Ottawa Senators acquired Josh Norris, who is a prospect, the draft pick that became Tim Stuts, Mad Sogard, Zaka Sapchuk, and Levi Marilinan, who is admittedly still in the organization today. Say what you want about Levi Carolina and the caliber of goalending he provides, but he’s on the team. Of course, drafted with the draft pick that San Jose gave to Ottawa. So, when you think about this trade, I mean, Eric Carlson, say what you want about him, but this was a guy who I will honestly go to bat and say had a decent run with the San Jose Sharks. I know the owner is going out there and saying like, “Yeah, I regret not drafting Stutsla. I regret trading away Norris. Essentially, he regrets trading for Eric Carlson, but you got to put your mind back in where the San Jose Sharks were at that time. Eric Carlson was a top defender in the NHL. He was so good, so productive, the best defender in the world still around this time frame. And in San Jose, it’s really unfortunate, but things didn’t work out for him all too well right away. Yes, he was under a point per game, but you think about what the San Jose Sharks did that season when they got him. They ended up going to the third round, the Western Conference Finals before losing to the inevitable Stanley Cup champions in the St. Louis Blues. Eric Carlson in that playoff run was quite productive and I don’t think you can take away 16 points in 19 playoff games. Now, the only reason it’s really difficult to look at that Eric Carlson trade as a positive is because shortly after the San Jose Sharks started to suck, and that’s where you started to see the team fall apart. You saw the team leave Joe Pavevelski in free agency. You saw them go through this entire rebuild, and then you saw Eric Carlson put up 101 points in 82 games, becoming one of the only defensemen ever to do that. Carlson was great, but I think with revisionist history in mind, you can take a look at the direction the Sharks were going down. Identify that that team was old. Thornton, Pavvelski, Marlo, Couture, Brent Burns, Edward Vlic, Carlson himself. Not the youngest team on the block and everybody knew a rebuild was coming. It’s just so unfortunate that Josh Norris, who was a San Jose Sharks prospect at the time, and Tim Stutla were part of the package that Ottawa received. And it wasn’t even Tim Stutla directly. It was the third overall pick that became third overall after the season where San Jose started to suck because they just didn’t have many young guys. It was a really unfortunate turn of events for San Jose because that 2020 pick was being made for a trade that was made in 2018. So, there’s a lot to pay attention to in regards to long-term storytelling here. But now, when you revisit how the trade went, obviously it would have been nice to see Tim Stuts drafted third overall to the San Jose Sharks. Josh Norris, if you disregard all the injuries, because hey, he’s going out there and missing even more weeks with the Buffalo Sabres. Now, by the way, Dylan Cousins was inevitably acquired by Ottawa for that same Josh Norris. But when you think about Norris as a healthy player, he provides a lot of value. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to display that a lot with San Jose. But a part of me does wonder if Norris was just developing in a different system. If he just played for San Jose over Ottawa, would he still have a lot of those same injury struggles? I get it. These struggles have followed him from Ottawa over to Buffalo. So, you can say it probably would have still happened. But there’s always that hypothetical. There’s always that what if. If he just had a different coach or a different strategy in front of him or a different set of linemates, what happens to this guy? Does he get hurt in the ways that he gets hurt so often nowadays? Would he have avoided some sort of a super serious injury? And would his career have looked a lot better? Because the talent on display, you can’t deny that’s there. I mean, three years ago, 35 goals in 66 games played. The guy was only 23 years old. There’s a lot to like out of Josh Norris. And then, of course, Timmy Stew is Timmy freaking Stew. 90 points in 2022, 2023. He has been roughly a point per gameish player when you discount some of the injuries that he has taken. Timmy Stew is a very dynamic player. I think a lot of folks really like his skill set, but San Jose, they had the opportunity to get him had they just kept the draft pick, which unfortunately did not end up going down. However, I will say this, there is one reply that I do think we have to acknowledge when it comes to the San Jose Sharks owner regretting the Eric Carlson trade. Tim says this here, “If we had Tim Stutela, we wouldn’t have Malin Cabbrini. I’d literally have Mac in every situation here. And this, I think, is solace for the loss of Tim Stutsa and Josh Norris. Even though these guys are two very good players, I think Mlin Celibbrini is debatably going to establish a class of his own heading into the long term compared to those two guys. Like if Celibbrini ends up becoming kind of like a Sydney Crosby light, maybe not an Art Ross winner every year, maybe not a heart winner every year, but somebody who is in that level of play, who has that mold of a hockey surgeon attached to him, who’s able to just do everything right and provide some dynamic offense on top of that. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised. I feel like Maline Celabbrini out of the three, if you think about Norris, you think about Tim Stutla, you think about Celabbrini, I’d rather have Celabbrini than anybody. This guy’s really damn good. And if he is the ultimate consolation prize for losing out on drafting Stutsa and keeping Josh Norris and his 35 goals in 60 games as a 23-year-old, then honestly, I don’t think it’s that bad. But of course, an owner is allowed to say what it is that he wants and to regret what it is that he wants. So, with that in mind, I want you to let me know your thoughts in the comment section below about how Hasso Platner is literally saying he regrets the Eric Carlson trade and whether or not you think the trade itself was actually a benefit for the team.
