2014 Training Camp

[LadyStanley]

D Brendan Ellis is congratulated on first pro contract. Not clear if NHL or AHL, so I've put it here.



Edit: appears to be NHL deal. (He is listed on early rookie roster "as of 9/2". But Sharks have not announced.)

#SJSharks cut five after rookie camp tryouts: Baille, DiFruscia, Moynihan, Trojanovich and Yorke.

Just passing it along.

"It was a great experience," said Baillie of the Sharks' camp. "You quickly learn how quick the pace gets and how much stronger the players are at the next level. Overall I thought I did a good job and I'm looking forward to the start of the [WHL] season [this weekend]."

Yorke also returned to Kelowna.

It's an AHL deal: http://themackreport.com/brendan-ellis-signs-with-sharks-will-attend-sj-camp/

The depth on the left side of both the SJ & Worcester Sharks defense is still, um, lacking.

Rockets vet Rourke Chartier on way back from San Jose Sharks camp tomorrow in advance of Saturday season opener #yup #letsgo #3moresleeps

Camp head count is shrinking by the day. This is actually a smart move in my opinion, I think they should do the same with Lebanc, Sadowy and Schoenborn as well.

Also, Yonkman (who LS mentioned a little while back) won't be a PTO for the Sharks, he's been invited to Calgary's main camp.

With training camp finally getting under way there are two questions I'm hoping get answered tomorrow...

First, I've heard that one or two players (not Sheppard or Torres) are nursing injuries so I'm curious to see if they'll be involved in the on ice sessions tomorrow.

Second, whether or not one of Braun or Demers, or possibly Burns, are moved to LD.

I have quite a few other questions but I doubt those get answered for another 2 weeks.

Think I know one of those as I haven't seen him skate this week. May have a good idea of the other. And there's a third that skipped a few skating sessions. So I've got three veteran candidates for that.

And their names are...??

Don't withhold information!!

There were 15 forwards and 5 defense on the ice for rookie skating drills yesterday.

(Plus one player in orange. And one guy was sporting full cage.)

Ya, 9 or 10 more players have been "released".

Having around 52-54 (or less since 2 are already injured) players for camp is a much more reasonable number.

@PollakOnSharks Math update: Eleven players being trimmed from #SJSharks roster. Leaves 50 (plus Torres, who still faces knee surgery).

Looks like 50.

9/23's Sharks-Canucks game will be "joined in progress" (at the conclusion of previous game). Now it kinda sounds like it will be the in-Vancouver game, not the Stockton game.

Here's the article on the 11 that were released:

I was kind of hoping they'd hang on to Vanier for a little while longer so he could work a bit more with Robinson and Johnson but oh well.

No surprises with the cuts. Most of them will get their chance in the future.
Happy to see MacInnis latch on after a PTO.

Interview with Fedun.

Thanks for posting this Kirby. Great interview.
I am really pulling for this kid. No offense to Irwin or Hannan.

I haven't heard much about him in camp so far. Has anyone seen him skate??

I've seen him play several times but unless he (or someone else) is moved to their off side he isn't competing with Irwin or Hannan for a roster spot.

If Mueller or KA don't stick I'd guess that Fedun might have the inside track on the #7 spot.

Well shouldn't the Sharks go ahead and play him on his off side and see what he's capable of there? I know it's not an easy transition for some guys but Fedun seems like a good puck handler, skater and smart guy. Not sure if he's played on his off side previously either.

Doesn't Burns play on his off side?

The Sharks coaching staff has been fairly adamant about playing right handed D on the right and left handed D on the left at evens.

Stuart has been the only d-man that spent any kind of significant time on both sides.

I'm really, really, REALLY hoping that they're aware of how awful the LD is and get away from that but I won't believe it until I see it.

I seem to remember a time when the Sharks had NO right handed d-men. Then came along Tom Preissing and some wins, lol.

As long as I've been watching hockey I still am unsure of the differences from playing on the two sides.

It seems like the off side is good for offense and one timers but makes it harder on keeping the puck in the offensive zone. Probably harder to play defense and get pucks out on defense too?

Am I close?

Here is the breakdown of the two groups for training camp #SJSharks

 

[Bowie22]

Hopefully we see Goldobin with Hertl and Thornton.

edit: nvm Scott is in Thornton's group. inb4 Hertl-Scott-Thornton. John Scott best center NHL15.
