Will Brown play tomorrow? Will Smith or someone else be recalled for Friday?

I wonder if he even knows how to skate...

 

[Coily]

Dillion has missed a week with day to day so a while might be two weeks +.

Hopefully it's Goodrow or someone taking his spot since Brown doesn't provide much.

They should bring up Smith and move Karlsson up to Wingels' spot.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Damn it Ekblad just let Tommy run you over next time! He pulled up as Tommy closed on him and they clipped skates. One of the few spills not caused by the bad ice.

 

[Sharksfan83]

They should bring up Smith and move Karlsson up to Wingels' spot.

I think tomorrow you'll just find Brown playing. When we get back home hopefully they bring up Smith.

How long is waivers? Doesn't Smith need re-entry waivers?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I think tomorrow you'll just find Brown playing. When we get back home hopefully they bring up Smith.

If he's going to be out for a little while, they're not going to wait to bring someone up. They may not be ready for tomorrow's game but they're not going to wait until they get home when they have two more games on this road trip.

Re-entry waivers is abolished.

Re-entry waivers went away with last CBA.

Smith can be recalled and play Friday night.


Smith can be up for up to 10 games or 30 days on NHL roster before he'd have to clear waivers to be assigned to AHL.

Well....

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I feel terrible for Wingels. He was on a roll too. Bad luck and timing with that injury.

I feel even worse for our team. We miss Wingels and now Brown is going to be in our lineup (strong hunch).

 

[KirbyDots]

If this does turn out to be serious I think this will expedite whatever DW was planning on doing at the deadline, I could see him adding a depth forward maybe in a larger deal to also acquire a d or a backup.

 

[TrappedInFullerton]

Stupid, ****** Florida ice...

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

As long as they call up Ben Smith instead of inserting Brown into the lineup, this shouldn't affect much. I like Wingels and wish him a speedy recovery but he's definitely the weakest link of the top nine.

 

[LadyStanley]

Stupid, ****** Florida ice...

But he was pushed into the boards and fell awkwardly.

 

[Lebanezer]

Sucks for Wingels, hopefully they have someone by tomorrow night's game. I don't really want to see Brown play.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

But he was pushed into the boards and fell awkwardly.

He wasn't pushed. He clipped skates with Ekblad going for a hit.

 

[DystopianTierney]

Hope it's not serious. I don't like the idea of Wingels with a banged up shoulder. His shoulders are like 90% of his game this season.

GOLDOBIN TIME!

Or trade for McGinn...

I would imagine a depth forward wasn't at the top of DW's 'want' list but I agree, if this is anything at all serious (and hopefully it's not) it could push him to do make a move.

The Sharks are currently at the 23 man roster limit so they'll have to make a move before being able to call someone up, likely putting Dillon on IR since he's already been out for a week.

This is crappy timing for Wingels as he was playing good hockey since the Donskoi-Couture-Wingels line got put together, he's also elite at drawing penalties and penalty killing so they're going to miss him.

I would hope Smith gets the call (he's earned it) and if he does that DeBoer gives him a real chance, on the wing where he belongs, to prove himself.

GOLDOBIN TIME!

I think Smith has a better chance at a recall than Goldie at this time.

Which one?

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

Just found out Smith has 7 goals in 11 games in the AHL. Anyone know if he's been playing center or wing?

He's been skating at wing.

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

He's been skating at wing.

Thanks. It never made any sense that DeBoer apparently saw him exclusively as a center. He barely played center in Chicago.

GOLDOBIN TIME!

I think the team is going to do everything they can to avoid calling Goldobin up. At this point, his ELC can slide if he doesn't play another NHL game this season.
