But given the choice between Eklund, Bordeleau or Nieto to play third line for two games - most sane people would take Eklund or Bordeleau.It’s not the plan nor should it be. Eklund and Bordeleau are not ready to be effective top nine forwards in the NHL.
Dude. Everything is expensive here. I took a cab from the airport to my hotel and it cost 80 Euros!Funny, the price of a cheeseburger at 5 guys in Germany is as expensive as here in San Jose.
I’m in Munch and went to Oktoberfest this weekend. It was awesome! I’m going to miss the European games since I’ll be in meetings, but Germany has been super fun! Minus the cab fares!Dude. Everything is expensive here. I took a cab from the airport to my hotel and it cost 80 Euros!
How long was the ride? In Bangkok you can get a Mercedes car service from the airport -> downtown (45 mins with traffic) for like $40 haha, normal taxi would be like $15Dude. Everything is expensive here. I took a cab from the airport to my hotel and it cost 80 Euros!
In all fairness, I’m in Hannover currently which is a little more outside the realm of convenience. I’m taking the train to Berlin this afternoon for the game and then back to Hannover tmrw morning for a trade show before Prague. Timing just worked out.How long was the ride?

Im actually glad I bailed on going to Europe for this, the baht is like 18% weaker than normal right now, i'd be so poor. But if I were a dollars-making man i'd be there
I’m sure way more fun than where I currently am.I’m in Munch and went to Oktoberfest this weekend. It was awesome! I’m going to miss the European games since I’ll be in meetings, but Germany has been super fun! Minus the cab fares!
Not if the goal is prioritizing Eklund and Bordeleau’s long term development over winning some meaningless games. They can have Nieto’s lineup spot when they dominate the AHL and round out their defensive play.But given the choice between Eklund, Bordeleau or Nieto to play third line for two games - most sane people would take Eklund or Bordeleau.
Nieto is a 12th/13th forward at best. I’d take a “maybe not ready yet” over a “never a top 9 forward”.
I actually don’t necessarily agree with this. I think that having them on this trip is a good plan. I think having Nieto on the third line is a bad plan but I also think there are other guys that could be put there. I think I want both of them to head to the Cuda and prove why they belong in the NHL. Let them pick up some better habits and gain a ton of confidence.Eklund and Bordeleau should be on the Sharks......
Mostly no surprises. The one change should probably be Guschin over Viel. Even if he was an extra he earned it more than Viel.

Barabonov out for another week. Nutivaara close to return.
