Barracuda News and Discussion Part 4

[Fistfullofbeer]

I'll take a crack at the forwards. There are a lot of them! Barracuda tend to equally roll four lines so while rookies will get ice time, they aren't going to be getting 20 minutes a night. Very young lineup with forwards to go with good experience at D and G. So overall should have a solid team.

I'm assuming Gambrell, Suomella, and Brodzinksi will be Sharks (simply based on # of NHL games played to date) but of course this part is all up in this air.

	W	C	W
Line 1	Kellman	True	Halbgewachs
Line 2	Yurtaikin	Gregor	Blichfeld
Line 3	Bergmann	Chmelevski	Checkhovich
Line 4	McCarthy	Letunov	Viel

Others:
Dahlen (was mentioned a while back he might be looking to play in Europe)
Wiederer
Weinger
McGrew (juniors?)
Gallant (juniors?)
Vela (ECHL?)
Kosorenkov (ECHL?)

Am I missing anyone???

Defense is going to be interesting.

NHL (2-way) contracts: Roy, Sund, Ferraro, Jacob Middleton
AHL contracts: Gregoire, Keaton Middleton
Unsigned: Wood, DeSimone

With Prout and Heed re-signed, I don't see any of these guys really be on the Sharks roster unless we trade Dillon. I am guessing we re-sign atleast DeSimone.

You know I always had high hopes for Letunov. We didnt lose anything in the picks we gave up(and gained McGrew) but I always hoped he would pan out.

What the hell? Are the Barracuda planning on playing 18 forwards next season?

no. some of these guys will end up in allen / ECHL

 

[themelkman]

I mean he was amazing last year as an overager. Who knows maybe he does well and gets a sharks contract

I'm just gonna assume some guys are gonna get traded at this point.

Dude is only 3 months older than Blichfeld. He was also 2nd in scoring, only 1 point behind him.

Zero risk taking him and an ahl contract means it doesn’t count toward the 50.

They bit now have the number 1-2 in The WHL in both goals and points. At 6’, 205lb he’s not undersized like a halbgewachs. Add in Chekhovich a top 2 scorer in the Q and the sharks are stacked with high level junior performers. I guess the only question is whether it can translate to the pro game...

I’ll keep an eye on him at camp...

 

[OrrNumber4]

Maybe the Sharks plan on sending players like Chekhovich and Chmelevski back to juniors?

Zero chance of that.. likely one makes the team from camp (my money is on Chekhovich)

This signing is and ahl/echl target for now... he’ll get a short look in camp perhaps, but like viel, Martin, Gregoir, weinger or the like, he’ll start as a depth cuda guy and have to work up the charts with good play. No doubt he’ll get a little look but it’s gunna be tough to get major cuda time and he’ll need to take advantage of what little he gets. Still 113 points with 53 goals doesn’t suck...

No. Both are 20, so would count against 50 limit. (Currently 47 plus three slideable, and that's not counting Thornton and/or Marleau signings. DW likes more flexibility; wouldn't be surprised to see someone traded before camp, or season start.)

 

[LadyStanley]

Now, maybe I can schedule some trips. Tomorrow.
