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

[BaileyMacTavish]

Still think we can move him to the 2nd line.

Kinda seems like Dosnkoi is gonna be the guy with the Joes. He's been the first guy up with them any time they take Labanc off of it.

Could be. As much as i would like all lines to have success, I also want Timo to play with some solid, consistent (meaning both the same players and ones who have a steady production) players. It's tough to grow when there are too many changes

 

[Juxtaposer]

Donskoi is the guy up front right now. Don’t punish him by playing him with Thornton and Pavelski.

To be fair, Donskoi had a fantastic passing sequence with Thornton in the Anaheim game. I think they could do well together.

I also honestly think any line that Donskoi is on is going to dominate.

I don't like jumbo and donkey on the same. Line. They both need the puck on their stick to be effective.

Agreed.

It's obviously tough to know whether that statement is just smoke and mirrors or actually how PDB thinks, but logically that makes sense. Confidence is key, and frankly, why not utilize the Cuda given the proximity.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Honestly, I don't think we give PDB enough credit for how good he is at blowing smoke and coach speak. I feel like PDB has a generally higher opinion of his players than TMac did even though McLellan generally had more talented rosters.

Is there a thing as too good for ahl but not quite good enough for the nhl? I only say that because labanc has top 6 or bust written all over him.

The baseball version is "AAAA player"

Yeah it's called a KHL player

It's called being Ryan Vesce's clone.

 

[WTFetus]

Yeah Keith Aucoin, Ryan Vesce, and early Benn Ferriero are players that come to mind.
Size was a huge issue for the first 2 though, and I think Lebanc is more talented than all.

Yes, Labanc is decently more talented than all of them. It is just that like them, if he isn't scoring, he isn't doing much else. He's subpar defensively which is a death kel for most players.

This screams robbie schremp.

But Benn scored on his birthday in the playoffs right? So he's a keeper lol

Only because Brad Stuart was a sleeper agent all along.

A very recent sharks "prospect," Jeremy Morin

 

[Lebanezer]

Chartier must be getting close to being healthy, he's officially been sent down to the Barracuda.

 

[WTFetus]

Moved the Barracuda roster moves (ie McAuley to Allen) to the Barracuda News thread.

 

[LadyStanley]

Yoyo?

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Yoyo?

Awesome news

 

[shorkie88]

i thought our lineup last night was pretty decent, who will sit for labanc?

 

[LA Shark]

Maybe they will try Meier and Labanc with Tierney, then scratch 1 of Beodker or Hansen...I doubt it, but that's what I'd like to see.
