Recalled/Assigned: 2017-18 Sharks Roster moves thread: Heed recalled to keep Ryan company in the press box also Bibeau

[Lebanezer]

Heed recalled again, obviously. I'm not sure why a forward wasn't recalled with him, the Sharks currently have 11 healthy forwards unless one of Hertl or Ward are ready to play again.

Deboer is intent on leaving an empty spot in the lineup while Heed remains scratched. Just to make his point. And then he'll take DeMelo for cake after the game, but make Heed drive and sit in the car.

 

[hohosaregood]

Every time the continuous back and forth recall and demotion happens, all I think about is the vasectomy scene from the office. Snip snap snip snap

 

[Lebanezer]

Balcers has also been recalled.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Balcers has also been recalled.

Deboer: Wait, we only have 11 forwards. This means we'd have to move Burns to forward and I have to play Heed. I WILL NOT PLAY HEED! Recall another forward damn it.

Poor Heed got his hopes up only to get crushed.

Heed goes into the locker room and sees all his gear in a locker, except for a pair of skates.

"Oh, you won't be needing those..." DeBoer says, a sneer crossing his lips as he breaks into a cackle. "Now I need you to take this plate of brownies to Dylan. And I counted them, so don't even think about taking one. They're not for you"

I am seeing this happen when PDB is interviewed.

Reporter: Will we ever see Heed on the ice again. He was doing very well with 11 points in 27 games before getting healthy scratched.
PDB: We believe we have a really good D-man in DeMelo. We want to give him a chance to prove that he can match that level of production. Once he hits that level of point production we will re-evaluate both players and do the best thing for our team.

24 games later ... after our 81st game of the season.

Reporter: So DeMelo has hit his 11th point of the season in his 62nd game of the season (and 81st of the Sharks). Do you believe that Heed needs to be given a chance given that he has shown that he can produce points at a better rate than DeMelo while having defense at par with DeMelo.
PDB: Exactly. They both have 11 points and about the same level of defense. We are going to play DeMelo in the next game.

 

[WSS11]

I’d love for Balcers to get In a game but doubt he will. He could be a spark though

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Maybe Balcers needs one more year?

 

[Juxtaposer]

Maybe Balcers needs one more year?

Realistically, I think he'd benefit from another year in the AHL, but why not give him a cup of coffee to see how ready he looks against NHL opponents? It's the best way to show him what he still needs to work on.

 

[Lebanezer]

Maybe Balcers needs one more year?

He’s doing great considering he’s the youngest player on the Barracuda on an NHL deal besides Roy who’s hurt. Giving him more time in the AHL isn’t a bad idea, but I agree with Jux that a cup of coffee would be a good idea.

This is where I'm at. Him playing now isn't "you're ready for the show." it's just a combo of the team needing someone short-term while they sort out the injury issues and a reward for the fact that he's having a damn fine season.

Unless he comes up and plays with his hair on fire, he should go down after a game or two and get the rest of his development.

Besides, I selfishly want to see the Cuda start next year with a line of Gamrbrell, Balcers, and Blichfeld

[Lebanezer]

Balcers was sent down after the game last night.

At least Heed didn't go with him

Give it time.

 

[The Nemesis]

Give it time.

You're right. We gave to wait for Heed to get back from his Costco run. Dylan needed a case of gatorade, 5 of those family sized bags of Doritos and a 4 pound tub of artichoke dip for the awesome Halo party he's having tonight.

DeMelo is going to be packing on the pounds.

 

[Lebanezer]

O’Regan recalled.

 

[Lebanezer]

Paul Martin recalled.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

PaulMart eh. Has his game gotten better in the A?

 

[Friday]

Burns hurt or are they trying to get him some games before the deadline?

 

[The Nemesis]

Our top offensive performer and really the only dangerous offensive defenceman on the team is hurt. We need a replacement.

PAUL MARTIN TO THE RESCUE!

DeBoer:

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

If we literally decide to play Paul Martin in place of an injured Burns, forcing a left handed defenseman to play the right side, while continuing to healthy scratch Tim Heed...wow.

 

[hohosaregood]

You don't want to play an older and more experienced Joakim Ryan?
