Well, the Sharks are almost half way there to their own record of 11 in 1995-96. No reason this bunch couldn't set a new one.

I mean they are pros and I guess they'll win one here, but this team is clearly so bad it's hard to envision them beating anyone other than the very worst teams. Again they could be historically bad.

Can this team get 10 regulation wins this season? 15 total wins? It could be close

One has to wonder whether the ongoing horror will be so bad as to pose an existential threat to the franchise's continued existence in San Jose. Already, last year they had the league's worst attendance, and one has to figure this year will be even worse. Perhaps, Bettman's insistence on keeping teams in losing locations will work to their benefit.

That has been my concern as well. we've talked about this in the past on this forum, but clearly the Sharks are in a dangerous situation. Poor product, clearly lost their fanbase, and the arena i think is one of the oldest in the league. And to add to all that, they're also competing with their own AHL affiliate that offers a better experience at a fraction of the cost.

That being said, look at the Coyotes....

They are leading the race for the next draft:

Even if they win the draft lottery, they missed the generational
prospect of Bedard.

So William Smith, chosen just 3 picks after Bedard, isn't even on the
roster of a winless team?
