Needs:

• Forward Defensive Depth
• 1 Offensive Defensemen

Thoughts:

• The sharks are here to stay, they will let their forwards deal with the offense with letting their conservative Defensemen deal with shutting other teams down
• The Sharks GM is taking a page out of a certain NFL team's mantra of "JUST DO YOUR JOB"

Vancouver Canucks

Roster Count:33

Prospects:23

Picks:9

Roster Salary:$34.8M

Needs:

• More Salary to be above the Cap Floor
• Scoring Depth
• Defensive Depth
• Finish Rebuild

Thoughts:

• After a few years of rebuilding, I would definitely say that they hard work is paying off. I feel that this team has quite a bit of young talent and they may not make the playoffs this year but I'd say they are one good year away from making the playoffs. Look out Season 11 Playoffs and the teams that have to face the crazy Canucks.

Vegas Golden Knights

Picks:20

Roster Salary:$64.7M

Needs:

• Drop some roster spots (Over Roster Cap)
• 1 True Center
• 1-2 Defensive Forwards
• 1 Offensive Defensemen

Thoughts:

• This team has been in the league for 2 years and they have just missed the playoffs both times. With a bit of hard work and a bit more luck, I assure you that they will be getting into the playoffs this year even if the Western conference may be as competitive as it's ever been.
