  20.  &lt;p id="c7TdQT"&gt;Hi everyone! &lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="Y4oCto"&gt;Quick update. The new site is live. It’s bare bones and will have a lot more posts when I get the previous posts.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="xplJoV"&gt;That said, the commenting platform should work so set up your logins now and drop a comment in the welcome post so I know you’re there. &lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="JewzqG"&gt;Due to some behind the scenes stuff I’ll be moving over early and putting the game thread for Thursday’s game against the Golden Knights on the &lt;a href="https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io/"&gt;new site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="w0QGFK"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io/"&gt;https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io/&lt;/a&gt; for those of you typing it into a browser instead of clicking the link. &lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p id="r08a2i"&gt;Let me know if you have any problems in the comments below. Vox is cutting things off on March 31, so I’ll try to address things here, especially if you can’t log on for some reason.&lt;/p&gt;

  46.  &lt;p&gt;Henry Thrun practicing with the team&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="vodA3P"&gt;Harvard defenseman and newly signed San Jose Shark Henry Thrun might play in tonight’s game against the &lt;a href="https://www.arcticicehockey.com"&gt;Winnipeg Jets&lt;/a&gt;. According to San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng, Thrun was suited up at warmups this morning. &lt;/p&gt;
  47. &lt;div id="OWVGUQ"&gt;

  49. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;First time on the ice as a member of &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SJSharks?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#SJSharks&lt;/a&gt;, No. 3 Henry Thrun &lt;a href="https://t.co/9lVW6AWP6E"&gt;pic.twitter.com/9lVW6AWP6E&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Sheng_Peng/status/1640771427770191873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;March 28, 2023&lt;/a&gt;
  50. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  51. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  52. &lt;/div&gt;
  53. &lt;p id="d225UV"&gt;Thrun signed a two-year deal over the weekend, though the first year of his deal burns off this year. As a result, it makes sense to work Thrun into the lineup as soon as possible. &lt;/p&gt;
  54. &lt;p id="WvJaxl"&gt;Also, keep an eye on Erik Karlsson. We have nine games left in the season and Karlsson is sitting at 90 points. &lt;/p&gt;
  55. &lt;h3 id="s2Hczv"&gt;Tank for Bedard Race&lt;/h3&gt;
  56. &lt;p id="JzhcAT"&gt;The Sharks continue to wallow at the bottom of the standings with fingers crossed for that first pick in the draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  57.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;

  61. &lt;p id="ynQJfX"&gt;As of this morning, the Sharks and &lt;a href="https://www.jacketscannon.com"&gt;Columbus Blue Jackets&lt;/a&gt; both have 53 points. At the moment, the Sharks have the tiebreaker since the team has played one more game. The &lt;a href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com"&gt;Chicago Blackhawks&lt;/a&gt; are just a point ahead of the two teams, while the &lt;a href="https://www.anaheimcalling.com"&gt;Anaheim Ducks&lt;/a&gt; are three points ahead of the bottom of the pack.&lt;/p&gt;
  62. &lt;p id="dtcvNM"&gt;Looking at the remaining games on the schedule for the Sharks, there’s reason for optimism. The only team left on the schedule not in the playoff race is the &lt;a href="https://www.fiveforhowling.com"&gt;Arizona Coyotes&lt;/a&gt;. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets have a game against Ottawa and one against Philadelphia still on the schedule. The Ducks also have a game against the Coyotes left on the schedule as well as one against the &lt;a href="https://www.nucksmisconduct.com"&gt;Vancouver Canucks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  99.  
  100.    &lt;figure&gt;
  101.      &lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/hIFD1MQoOGDCfKogv128mzcDtdc=/0x51:1800x1251/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/72116537/Fear_the_fin_1800_px.0.jpg" /&gt;

  104.  
  105.  &lt;p&gt;Here’s the direction Fear the Fin is headed&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="gXCMsJ"&gt;Hi everyone!&lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="K10FyP"&gt;If you’ve tuned in over the last few weeks, you’ve noticed that we’ve tried our best to ensure that you have somewhere to keep up with our beloved Sharks.&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p id="D7tmCa"&gt;We wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand on our end. As you see, we’ve worked with a graphic designer and come up with a kick butt new logo. (I may be biased.)&lt;/p&gt;
  108.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  109.        &lt;img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/esc5wT54zD8YZau1NBdf6c5V65g=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24537849/Fear_the_fin_1800_px.jpg"&gt;
  110.      &lt;figcaption&gt;Copyright: Fear the Fin LLC&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  111.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="nSysJm"&gt;The transition from Vox is just a few days away. There will be a short period of time when this URL, &lt;a href="http://FearTheFin.com"&gt;FearTheFin.com&lt;/a&gt;, will not work. We’re hoping to keep this downtime as short as possible. &lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;p id="BB8KjT"&gt;As we wait for the transfer of the domain name, we will continue to create content on a new, temporary URL on Saturday, April 1. The &lt;a href="https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io/"&gt;temporary website&lt;/a&gt; is &lt;a href="https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://fear-the-fin.ghost.io&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;until the transfer is complete. After that, you can use this URL or your &lt;a href="http://FearTheFin.com"&gt;FearTheFin.com&lt;/a&gt; URL to find us!&lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="nhLz91"&gt;Our new site looks different than this current one. We won’t have a lot of photos at first — that’s a licensing issue we can’t get around at the moment — but that will evolve over time. What we will have is the content and the commenting platform that many of our readers have come to rely on. &lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="XLByBz"&gt;As we have said in the past, this is about the Fear the Fin community first and we’ll add more as we move forward.&lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;p id="3YYaGh"&gt;As you transition with us to Ghost and our new commenting platform, know that you’ll need to create a new account. While we can take the website with us, we cannot take the usernames, passwords, etc. Accounts on Ghost are free. &lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="7Ji8ap"&gt;Transitioning the website, comments and more comes with a cost. If you have the ability, please consider donating to Fear the Fin’s &lt;a href="https://gofund.me/9f02ff1d"&gt;GoFundMe campaign&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  118. &lt;p id="gHimAs"&gt;For small business owners, you can help too! We’re putting together some sponsorship packages that may include logos on the new site, sponsorships of certain coverage (i.e., draft coverage) and social media postings. &lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="GwCVQp"&gt;Our short-term goal is to have enough in the bank to sustain our website for a year. That includes paying our writers, new web hosting, a commenting platform to fit the community’s needs and more. &lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="5MKYGS"&gt;We will also sell merchandise on our new website. &lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;p id="KTfNsN"&gt;We’re excited for this new journey and we hope you will take it with us.&lt;/p&gt;
  122. &lt;p id="WREyqi"&gt;Go Sharks!&lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p id="u18vGC"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  144.  &lt;p&gt;Plus, San Jose is last in the league!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="vodA3P"&gt;A quick update on the league standings before we jump into today’s game. The &lt;a href="https://www.fearthefin.com"&gt;San Jose Sharks&lt;/a&gt; are now 32nd in the league! Thanks to a 5-4 &lt;a href="https://www.jacketscannon.com"&gt;Columbus Blue Jackets&lt;/a&gt; win over the &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt; last night, the Sharks and Blue Jackets both have 53 points on the season. Since San Jose has played one more game than Columbus, the Sharks are last in the league.&lt;/p&gt;
  145. &lt;p id="L7ADmv"&gt;For those of you keeping track, the lottery odds that the team that places last in the league gets the number one pick in the draft are 25.5%. While the team that places 31st in the league only has a 13.5% chance of receiving the number one pick.  &lt;/p&gt;

  195. &lt;p id="1pHRVy"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.fearthefin.com"&gt;San Jose Sharks&lt;/a&gt; have 11 games left in the season and then Quinn can start preparing for the Worlds. &lt;/p&gt;
  196. &lt;p id="PdWIfO"&gt;Meanwhile, not sure how bad it is but William Eklund was hurt in last night’s Barracuda game.&lt;/p&gt;

  204. &lt;h3 id="gTfK2F"&gt;Tank for Bedard update&lt;/h3&gt;
  205. &lt;p id="AHS5um"&gt;It’s been a while since we’ve looked at the Tank for Bedard race (although I know you’ve been keeping on top of things in the comments). Here’s a look at where things stand as of this morning.&lt;/p&gt;
  206.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  207.        &lt;img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/6KI7eV0PxrYzlefhL0gLBk9DqVU=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24530695/3.23.23_Tank_for_Bedard.jpg"&gt;
  208.      &lt;figcaption&gt;NHL.com&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  209.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  210. &lt;p id="9iLQhE"&gt;We’ve included the &lt;a href="https://www.nucksmisconduct.com"&gt;Vancouver Canucks&lt;/a&gt; in this series only because San Jose is playing our neighbors to the north tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;p id="stse8h"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.jacketscannon.com"&gt;Columbus Blue Jackets&lt;/a&gt; continue to hold on to that 32nd spot in the league, but only trail the Sharks by two points today. The Blue Jackets next play tomorrow night against the &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  212. &lt;p id="rELI13"&gt;San Jose is holding strong at 53 points and doing its darndest to stay at the bottom of the pack. The Sharks are 1-6-3 in the last 10 games. The only team in the mix with fewer than two regulation wins over the last 10 games. &lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p id="6Mt5Iq"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com"&gt;Chicago Blackhawks&lt;/a&gt; are a point ahead of the Sharks with a game in hand. The &lt;a href="https://www.anaheimcalling.com"&gt;Anaheim Ducks&lt;/a&gt; are three games up. After that, it’s a huge jump to the &lt;a href="https://www.habseyesontheprize.com"&gt;Montreal Canadiens&lt;/a&gt;, who have 62 points, 9 more than the Sharks. &lt;/p&gt;
  214. &lt;p id="JtWD8h"&gt;The only teams on the tank list that the Sharks play again this season is the &lt;a href="https://www.fiveforhowling.com"&gt;Arizona Coyotes&lt;/a&gt; and the Canucks. All the other games are against playoff teams including the &lt;a href="https://www.milehighhockey.com"&gt;Colorado Avalanche&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="https://www.arcticicehockey.com"&gt;Winnipeg Jets&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://www.coppernblue.com"&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/a&gt;. I like our odds.&lt;/p&gt;
  215. &lt;h3 id="8PCC3d"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fearthefin.com"&gt;San Jose Sharks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  216. &lt;p id="wVNh9l"&gt;As for game day, the Sharks have recalled Jacob Peterson from the Barracuda to replace the injured Andreas Johnsson.&lt;/p&gt;
  217. &lt;div id="N3Hi5j"&gt;

  299.    <content type="html">

  302.      &lt;img alt="NHL: Minnesota Wild at San Jose Sharks" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/dWbO9qAKEfL5Ha-mjkBg6TcdNhg=/0x0:4451x2967/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/72095222/usa_today_20259728.0.jpg" /&gt;
  303.        &lt;figcaption&gt;Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  304.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  305.  
  306.  &lt;p&gt;Why that’s a good thing&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="Yt6KWV"&gt;Over the weekend, the &lt;a href="https://www.fearthefin.com"&gt;San Jose Sharks&lt;/a&gt; sent William Eklund back to the AHL. The idea is he’ll play for the San Jose Barracuda for the rest of the season. While it’s tough to watch when you think about how well Eklund acquitted himself throughout his eight game stint with the Sharks this season, it makes sense from a business and development stance. This decision had nothing to do with Eklund’s play and everything to do with the future of the Sharks.&lt;/p&gt;
  307. &lt;h3 id="Op0xSX"&gt;The Entry-Level Contract (ELC)&lt;/h3&gt;
  308. &lt;p id="Sl1xlE"&gt;Through his short tenure with the Sharks, General Manager Mike Grier has dealt with tough business decisions. He was handed a team in cap purgatory and told to make a Cup contender. He’s dealt bad contracts, traded away players that don’t fit with the team’s timeline to contend (Timo Meier) and tried to build draft capital for a future run.&lt;/p&gt;
  309. &lt;p id="SmPPaW"&gt;Whether that ends in a &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl-playoffs"&gt;Stanley Cup&lt;/a&gt; is yet to be seen, but Eklund is expected to be a piece of that run and so this decision is one of the easier ones Grier has had to make. &lt;/p&gt;
  310. &lt;p id="XL1l7U"&gt;Sending Eklund down helps the Sharks get another year out of Eklund’s contract. Eklund is young. He turns 21 in October and that October birthday is key. Under the Entry Level Slide rule, if a player is 18 or 19 as of Sept. 15 of the year they sign their ELC, then the contract can slide if the player fails to play 10 NHL games in that season. The contract allows for one ELC slide if the player is 19 and two if the player is 18. &lt;/p&gt;
  311. &lt;p id="f8eC1p"&gt;You can check CapFriendly for more details on the &lt;a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/faq#els"&gt;ELC Slide rule&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;p id="hRYQvY"&gt;Since Eklund was 18 when he signed and he didn’t turn 19 until a month later, that means the two year slide rule is in effect. Eklund’s nine games last season and eight games this season do not enact the first year of his ELC. That means the Sharks have three more seasons until Eklund becomes an RFA, starting next season.&lt;/p&gt;
  313. &lt;h3 id="GIx1qB"&gt;Playoff experience matters&lt;/h3&gt;
  314. &lt;p id="AIKk9g"&gt;Like it or not, the Sharks are one of the worst teams in the league this season. The team was the first to be eliminated from playoff contention and sits 31st in standings as of this morning. San Jose is not going to the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  315. &lt;p id="ro369u"&gt;The Barracuda, however, have a shot. While the team is on the outside looking in at the moment, it’s close and every game for San Jose’s AHL affiliate matters. This is the game experience that Eklund needs and the organization knows it.&lt;/p&gt;
  316. &lt;p id="vyff4q"&gt;“It was a tough one, but the value of making the playoffs and potentially playing in a playoff series is huge for development,” said Head Coach David Quinn after informing Eklund that he’s headed back to the Barracuda. “He’s 20 years old. You know, we really liked what we saw in him up here. He gets an opportunity down there. He’s disappointed, get back at it and lead that team into the playoffs.”&lt;/p&gt;
  317. &lt;p id="CwocBL"&gt;Experience now will be valuable for when the Sharks find themselves trying to claw their way into a playoff position in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  318. &lt;h3 id="kZjBZd"&gt;The Calder race&lt;/h3&gt;
  319. &lt;p id="xKKjwS"&gt;I know there’s some guy named Connor Bedard likely entering the league next season and maybe an Adam Fantilli or a Shane Wright, but I think Eklund can give those guys a run for their money in the Calder race.&lt;/p&gt;
  320. &lt;p id="KuPcRL"&gt;Watching Eklund, his game has matured and he’s a much more responsible, much more potent NHL player than he was when testing things out last season. &lt;/p&gt;
  321. &lt;p id="FKOsXc"&gt;Give him a full 82 game season and I think we’ll see his name in the Calder race.&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;h3 id="Ypqt42"&gt;Mission accomplished&lt;/h3&gt;
  323. &lt;p id="AllCgf"&gt;Finally, the point of bringing Eklund up this season was to see if he was ready to play NHL games. &lt;/p&gt;
  324. &lt;p id="oJC1Tf"&gt;He’s ready.&lt;/p&gt;
  325. &lt;p id="rI9loM"&gt;Coaches have seen a vast improvement in his game compared to where it was last season. &lt;/p&gt;
  326. &lt;p id="dp50Sq"&gt;Quinn, a notoriously hard coach on young players, has liked Eklund’s game. So much so, that the coach handed Eklund more responsibility as his time with the club progressed, not less.&lt;/p&gt;
  327. &lt;p id="GQs3os"&gt;Eklund played top line minutes. He played on the top power play unit. And, in his final two games of the season, he received penalty kill time. &lt;/p&gt;
  328. &lt;p id="WXa4MS"&gt;Eklund had three points (2 G, 1 A) in his eight games with the team this season, but he averaged 19:50 per game in ice time. &lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;h3 id="mPdakn"&gt;Final Thoughts&lt;/h3&gt;
  330. &lt;p id="a9nSaC"&gt;While it will be disappointing not to see Eklund out there on the ice for the remainder of the season, it is the best move for his development and gives the Sharks a better shot at making the Stanley Cup playoffs a few years down the road if all goes well.&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt; pay the team’s one and only visit to SAP Center this season.

  351. &lt;p id="0dYfkU"&gt;On the Sharks’ side of the ice, Martin Kaut is back in the lineup in place of Evgeny Svechnikov. Svechnikov left Thursday night’s game with a lower body injury and did not return.&lt;/p&gt;
