Recalled/Assigned: 2018-19 Roster moves thread: 4/25 Black Aces: Suomela, True, DeSimone, Korenar and Middleton

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I agree that Karlsson is definitly the top priority by about a mile.

I think that 3-3.5 is a little optimistic. I suspect, 4-4.5 is probably more in line with what they will get. And I honestly think both are going to improve with Meier possibly becoming a 30 goal scorer. Labanc I honestly don't know how much h he is going to improve.

Losing Pavs will hurt. Alot. But he isn't going to be in our long term plans since we won't be rebuilding any time soon.

This is assuming their improvement isn’t more than marginal and it’s based on a good chunk of contracts signed by comparable players.

What can I say? I'm an optimist.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

They would need to be scoring like, 60 points or asking for a long term contract to be getting over $4M.

 

[LadyStanley]

Between 20 and 23 players.

Minimum 2G + 18 skaters. (23 active players. If a guy is suspended, doesn't have to count against roster #, but does against cap, nominally. If a guy is on IR or LTIR, that frees up a roster spot.)

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[seroes]

Wonder who is next...praying it's gambrell

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I hope Bibeau clears. I think he can be a solid backup starting in 2019-20 season.

 

[tony d]

Was surprised Toronto waived McGoalie. I think I would have kept him if I was Toronto.

Yeah, I don't know why they decided to keep Garrett Sparks. Sparks was terrible this preseason. Both Pickard and McElhinney at least had a good outing. I suppose it's LTIR maneuvering but I'm not sure.

 

[hohosaregood]

I hope Bibeau clears. I think he can be a solid backup starting in 2019-20 season.

I don't think anyone is looking for an unproven backup so he should be safe.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

He probably is with the other goalies that are on the wire as well.

 

[The Nemesis]

Bibeau's not going anywhere. There are so many goalies on the waiver wire that it shows there simply aren't the places for any of them around the league.

Isn't that what Boston thought last year about Malcolm Subban?

 

[rangerssharks414]

I hope Bibeau clears. I think he can be a solid backup starting in 2019-20 season.

I think so too, but Dell is still under contract for next year. If Dell and Bibeau have solid 2018-19 seasons, maybe they could trade him (Dell) in the 2019 offseason to save a little bit of cap.

 

[LadyStanley]

I thought it was noon. Ah, well.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. I'm earmarking Karlsson to get 12 mil here so saving 1.3 mil on the backup at least until Martin's buyout money comes off the books is probably a good thing without losing much in terms of value to the team.

 

[wishman]

Bibeau cleared. Whew! (Mostly from a Barracuda perspective). Figured Carolina would claim a goalie and they got McElhinney. Flyers claimed Pickard.

 

[seroes]

Is our roster at 26? Or have we already made enough cuts?

 

[LadyStanley]

Need to be down to 23. Bibeau plus.

San Jose Sharks 2018 Roster

Currently at 15F, 8D, 3G. Need to cut 3 (Bibeau plus 2F most likely).

 

[wishman]

Radil, Gambrell, and Bibeau have been sent down.

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[Hobocop]

Chartier made it. Happy for that guy.

 

[Gecklund]

Radil, Gambrell, and Bibeau have been sent down.

So for opening night, we are probably looking at:
Meier-Thornton-Pavelski
Couture-Hertl-Labanc
Kane-Suomela-Donskoi
Karlsson-Goodrow-Sorenson
Chartier

Vlasic-Karlsson
Ryan-Burns
Dillon-Braun
Simek, Heed

Jones
Dell

 

[one2gamble]

God that 4th line is 100 times better with chartier than with karlsson

 

[Munnyro]

Melker shall be our whipping boy for quite awhile. Enjoy that hot seat Milk man.
