Every call, dated and left up. Open ones stay open; resolved ones get marked held-up or missed, including the embarrassing ones. That is the entire point.
Test runs October through April. He signed his entry-level deal July 3 and every published opening-night projection has him in the top nine, but role is not production and the number is the bet. One anchor projection lands under it, at roughly 48.
Either move alone was defensible; the blue line genuinely had to be fixed. Wrong if the Sharks extend the core in 2029 and can still add without subtracting. Right if that summer is spent moving Trouba or Nurse to make room. Revisit every offseason through 2029-30.
A read, not a conviction. He is the last unsigned RFA and the odd man out of an overloaded top nine, which makes him the obvious chip if San Jose adds another veteran defenseman.
Resolved June 26: San Jose took Stenberg, Reid slid to Seattle at No. 7. Evaluator rankings still have Stenberg clearly ahead a year on. The real test is Stenberg versus Reid over five years, not draft night.
Resolved July 1: the Sharks let him walk. The call matched the decision. Whether it was the correct decision on the merits gets graded by Klingberg's 2026-27 season, checked at year end.
Scored as a miss on magnitude, which is the honest grade. The direction was emphatically right and the consensus board (two years, $3.5M) was off by an order of magnitude, but Trouba signed four years at $33M. Being less wrong than everyone else is not being right.
