2016 Training camp (and season prep)

[OffSydes]

The Sharks seem to randomly allow players to choose their numbers. Pavs had to "earn" 8, Meier was handed 28 and I remember Jamie McGinn commenting after he was traded that he was able to get rid of his "training camp number".

I do like it when players just adopt the training camp number though like Hertl with the 48, Braun with 61, and Wingels with 57. Player numbers are surprisingly cookie cutter for the most part. So many 19s and 4s and 30s out there.

Really? He played ONE GAME wearing a different # before changing to #8.

Rookies are given numbers in 60-80 range (invitees 90s).

He made his NHL Debut 11/22 and he is still wearing 53 against the Ducks 12/16 http://www.gettyimages.com/event/an...ickname-is-lil-joe-stands-picture-id728961525

And 48 is back.

 

[Lebanezer]

So in attendance at Captain's skates right now:

Dillon, Schlemko, Marleau, Sorensen, Goodrow, Meier, Dell, Jones, Armalis, Haley, Carpenter, Mueller, Ward, Kelly, Ryan, Hertl, Tierney, Jevpalovs, Schoenborn, Wingels, Chartier, Braun, Bergman, Karlsson, Heed, Demelo, Goldobin.

Apparently Paul Martin is too cool to come.

He's probably out surfing right now.

And Nieto.

Who??

 

[Gecklund]

I feel like this is a great opportunity for Meier, Mueller, Goldobin, and Sorenson to really show their stuff. With so many players out, Mueller has to be one of the top 4 D ou there. All 3 of those wingers have to be pretty high and getting lots of minutes. It could be a great chance for Hertl too. He can really get some practice in at C.

Also just a thought, where's Jeremy Roy?

He can still be sent back to Juniors, so he's in the QMJHL with the Armada playing preseason games right now. He'll be in San Jose starting Thursday for the rookie camp, and I imagine he'll stick around in the main camp briefly.

How long did Meier and Roy stick around last year?
Edit: I found it.....Roy was sent back on day six of main camp; Meier on day 11

Beat me to it.

And Acolatse (and Setoguchi - who's heading to LA soon). Winnik seems to have headed out to Washington as he wasn't there Monday. And Igor (former Jr Shark heading to St Louis for their rookie camp on Wednesday).

For the most part, it looks like all the "rookies" were in the CHL last year, with a handful of college and european spoilers. Biggest pieces to watch will probably be Sorenson, O'Reagan, Meier, Leblanc and Armalias. Couple over-agers and a few more recent picks might stand out - but those 5 probably have the best shot at any NHL time this year. Other than that, the U50 roster is pretty empty. It's basically a line of Jevpalovs - Carpenter - Goldobin with the Barracuda's D-Corp. Gonna be interesting to see how Heed looks compared to DeMelo and Ryan. Would like to see Ryan get a few games this year as injuries inevitably steal a game or two from the more established guys. Hopefully DeMelo can earn a full-time spot, but with our depth at defense, I am not sure that is gonna happen anytime soon.

Who is 70? There's no #70 on the list on your site (thank you for that, by the way), and I looked up the entire list of Sharks jersey numbers (at http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/SJS/numbers.html ) and they don't list anyone having #70 for the Sharks ever in their history.

There is an AHL section on her site where it says 70 is Matt Willows.

Ah, thank you. I am sure, however, that I am not alone in never having heard of Matt Willows.

Missed the July 11th announcement, I guess.

I was making a joke because I clearly forgot about him.
