The way he has started out, if he continues at a productive rate, would Aidan Thompson forgo a senior year at DU and turn pro also given he is turning 23 in Feb ?

Josh Erickson

Oh, absolutely. Given his age, he doesn't need a fourth year. For context – 5'11 center, 2022 third-round pick of the Blackhawks. 4-7--11 in 6 GP for Denver.

What defenders are available who you think could help the Sharks blue line?

Would have to be a pretty low acquisition cost. They're obviously in no position to give up significant futures, even with how under-staffed that defense is. But Walman is a huge improvement on what they had and will be a great transitional piece for them. I'd be looking at waiver wire names, mostly.

Vegas sure has quieted the “where is the offense going to come from” crowd, although unsustainable. Do you think they add pieces near the deadline? Injuries play a huge role as well but as the roster is constructed, who do you seem the targeting?

Last one here before the top of the hour.

But oh, you betcha they'll add. Staying out of LTIR this season is huge for them. They'll have about $2MM in deadline cap space if they keep the roster the way it is for the most part. Defense doesn't need any work. I wonder if they go after a goalie with Hill having quite an underwhelming start.

Alright, that's it for today. Thanks for the questions, all. Same time next week!
