I have huge respect towards Mike Grier, I can't even imagine the hurdles he's had to overcome in his career, Mike more than deserves all the succes he's had. The SJS has a special place in my heart and I'm confident Mike is the right man for the job. Mike, you're the man! ✌️
@@Dirtytanker He might have been an enforcer, but a great player than had two 20 goal seasons and scored 383 points in his career. Great player and teammate. Wish him well in this new role!
As a 25 Year + season ticket holder my family and I have many Great memories of Mike as a Shark...and hopefully building many more as a GM!!!! CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME BACK MIKE and FAMILY!
Sharks need to get good again . Hopefully this new GM can bring the sharks back to their former playoff glory and maybe a Stanley Cup . Looking forward to next season. Go Mike !!!!
I am THRILLED to have Grier as our GM. This dude is a rockstar. Was an excellent high IQ player who really knows the game. I hope for his success and great things from the Sharks. I literally didn't watch the last 2 seasons because I hated the DeBoer firing and couldn't stand Booger. Very excited to tune in again.
I honestly don’t think the contracts are as bad as they seem. And the ones signed before Covid Flat Cap wouldn’t look bad at a $90m+ Cap. They definitely need to play better and I think a new coach (Babcock? I have an odd feeling), an infusion of youth (Eklund), and continued improvement from Balcers, Barabonov, Dahlen will have them doing so. This season will be a ‘prove it’ season for the whole team. They’ll get a lot of rest before October, if they heal and are healthy, I wouldn’t doubt a fight atop the Pacific.
Some of the best hires have been new blood in recent years, whether it's GMs or coaching. Experience is valuable but the NHL recycles old options too much
So what you're saying is that YOU know better what they are looking for than the SJS organization. I just wonder how come they haven't already hired you, because you know the best. 🤷♂️
Mike was an outstanding leader on the Sharks. We're lucky to have him.
Agreed! Hard working player. Always liked him as a shark. Congrats to him.
Nicely done Sharks, and congratulations Mike Grier. You truly earned it.

Man how the years fly by. I remember him as an Oiler and now he's a GM
Mike Grier was badass for the Oilers. Even though I'm a Leaf fan I always rooted for him. Hell ya!
4th line guy.

Wow it’s so nice and congratulations to Mike G. to the SJ Sharks

No more 8 year contracts to injured old players would be a start
He's not yet answer. Quin is his buddy, worst coach in the league. SJ is committed to losing for the next decades.
@@Dirtytanker haha , so far the sharks are worse this year . Quin might be the worst coach...........
Absolutely love this hire.
Somebody please tell Mr. Becher to stop clapping directly into the mic 🤣
Man!! This is so exciting 🤗.
can’t wait!!🚨 great choice
Loved him on the Oilers. Wish him the best on the Sharks. Go Oilers
Been watching Mike since he was at Boston University. Welcome back to the team.

Congratulations Mr Grier are expectations are high and nothing but winning will be tolerated!.Wellcome Back!
Mike has put his time in since retiring well deserved
Lol now the Dolphins and Sharks share more than just a Deepwater connection 😅🦈💪🏻
I hope he's not as mediocre as his brother in Miami,
GO SHARKS GO!!!!!!!
Good for him, maybe san jose could get a championship now . I'm surprised they havnt won yet .
Boston University in The House! Bravo MG!
Let's hope this works.
It will
Grier has his work cut out. The Sharks have a bad cap situation and some unfortunate contracts they're saddled with.
Unfortunately, but I have faith in him.

This is historic. I'm glad that the Sharks are giving Mike the opportunity. I wish him the best of luck
Mike, cap room suggestion, get Pickles to pack his bags.
I think he’s brother of Chris Grier. GM of Miami Dolphins.
They are brothers, both sons of Bobby Grier who was a pro scout for the Patriots and Texans.
big L for Sharks PR... fired people after all the hiring and firing has been done in the league... no chance these guy easily find jobs this year...
I was unable to ascertain any plan or upcoming moves. Anybody get anything?
Congrats to Barry Bonds
Bu hockey legend
This is great news. I can’t wait until a skin color is never mentioned in a hiring of anyone. We all matter.
Sharks have a lot of work to do
Bring in Colin White now?
Good
Hire John Cooper!
Sharks blew it. Went for the PC hire when there were much more qualified gm's available. I hope it works out but I won't hold my breath

@@happytrails151 honestly with GMs grier is the best option tbh i wouldnt hire benning or Chiarelli
So what you're saying is that YOU know better what they are looking for than the SJS organization. I just wonder how come they haven't already hired you, because you know the best. 🤷♂️
Oh damn, now I get it. It's of course because you're white, and the SJS discriminates against white people as you already suggested. What a shame...
Franchise killing move. Being "woke" doesn't work in sports. Picked the worst candidate possible.
