Injury Report: 3/11 Greiss to IR (retroactive to 3/7)

Small fine print at the bottom of the article has Greiss to IR retroactive to after last game (he played, got injured).

So, Stalock is no longer on emergency recall, but regular recall.

wouldn't that mean that stalock needs to now clear waivers?

Nope. Stalock is exempt from waivers for this season (at least).

Stalock is exempt for the remainder of this season or 58 more NHL games, whichever comes first...my money is on him not reaching the 58 NHL games before the season is over.

Greiss is skating, but Stalock backing up tonight

Here is a good question. If the Sharks miss the playoffs, or even just sell at the deadline, do they play Greiss at all? I doubt they have any plans of retaining him after this season, and Stalock needs NHL time, do they basically bench Greiss and give Stalock or even Setari his time in order to see where they are at?

What does missing the playoffs or selling have to do with playing Greiss. Obviously Greiss sits

haha. yah

But seriously, I can't come up with a real reason to ever ice Greiss again if the Sharks are going to sell. My bet is they'd bench him if they can spare the roster spot, or waive him, and give Stalock as many NHL starts as they can to get a real feel of if he's ready.

 

[Juxtaposer]

My completely irrelevant and uninformed opinion is that Greiss will be traded at the deadline for a late pick. He clearly doesn't have a future with this organization, and there are plenty of team's who could use a good back-up with some upside.

I agree and hope so, be good for him to get some place where he can play / complete. Stalock really is ready for the NHL I believe.

I hope Greiss can find a good home if he's traded. I've always felt comfortable with him in net, where I'm screaming "aaaaaaah!" in my head whenever Alex faces a shot. Guess I just need to get used to him being in net because there's good reason as to why I get nervous.

 

[EastBayShark]

What have backup goalies (traded as depth-only goalies) typically received in the past? Thinking Greiss could receive any better than a 4th? He is getting up there in age to be considered a "prospect".

If that happens, I feel bad for Stalock because he will end up playing 14 games over the course of next two years instead of getting all kinds of play time in Woostah. Experience never hurts.

Official word

He's been recalled from Worcester...

He's been recalled from Worcester...

Back to San Jose already? Did he even get to play?

 

[Sharksfan83]

He played yesterday, gave up a 2 goal lead with 3 minutes remaining to get beat in OT. Not sure how much of that was his fault..

He should have gotten the last one in OT...the other ones I would have loved to see him stop but I don't have much issue with it being his fault any of the first four went in.

Wondering if JP is reporting to Worcester (as they just sent Heemskerk to SF).

He could be, but I'm expecting Stalock to be returning...

 

[Sharksfan83]

Out of the two goalies, which one do you see as having a better NHL outlook?
