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

[LA Shark]

Lol, Deboer put Melker up with Pavs and Meier in practice today.

 

[Lebanezer]

Official announcement.

 

[Lebanezer]

Their probably shopping him and Gambrell to East Coast teams.

DW: We’ll trade you Karlsson for Panarin, straight up hockey trade.
CBJ: Done!
DW: Ohh your gonna love him. He’s such a versatile forward.

 

[Agent Zub]

I haven't ever seen Gambrell play but his college stats are great. Hopefully he takes advantage of this opportunity.

Does he have top line upside?

I haven't ever seen Gambrell play but his college stats are great. Hopefully he takes advantage of this opportunity.

Does he have top line upside?

Hes only played a few games with the big boys and he really hasnt done much. I mean thats judging him off 3 games.

 

[Lebanezer]

I haven't ever seen Gambrell play but his college stats are great. Hopefully he takes advantage of this opportunity.

Does he have top line upside?

More like 2nd/3rd line C. He has to find him game, he has been extremely passive in all of his NHL regular and preseason games thus far.

 

[Kegsey]

I'm hoping it's because of the 5 game roadie and they don't want him being hurt early in the season. I truly hope its just precautionary.

 

[Barrie22]

Swelling in the right knee. Crapsicles.

 

[Friday]

They did say there was swelling after game 1 and he looked way better in game 2. So hopefully its just to take it easy and smart. Like he could play if it was the playoffs.

[The Nemesis]

I haven't ever seen Gambrell play but his college stats are great. Hopefully he takes advantage of this opportunity.

Does he have top line upside?

I doubt it.

Just from what I've seen and read his probable place is a 3C with 2nd line fwd upside if everything breaks right

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Seems just precautionary and I hope its nothing too serious. Though I am definitely interested in seeing what kind of lines are being thrown in Jumbo's absence. If it really is Meier-Pavs-Karlsson I hope they get played more like the 3rd line and we play Kane-Shovels-Donkey as the 2nd line.

 

[tony d]

To bad to hear about Thornton's injury. Wishing him all the best in his recovery.

 

[The Nemesis]

Save us Rudy..... oh.... right....

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I wouldn't freak out just yet. I've had swelling in my bad knee after my hockey games for over 20 years after my major injury and have just treated with ice and ibuprofen. His issue could simply be scar tissue. After one of my procedures my knee had a bunch of scar tissue that had to be removed in another minor procedure a few months after I finished my rehab. I was back playing in games 2 weeks after that 2nd minor procedure.

 

[Brent Burns]

Depends on date of surgery, how long post-op is he?

 

[Mafoofoo]

Hopefully this isn’t it for Jumbo

 

[slocal]

Hopefully this isn’t it for Jumbo

Don't say such things, you goober.

 

[Barrie22]

Well, I'd guess this officially makes this his last year if he can't play two games.. they better close the deal

Hopefully this isn’t it for Jumbo

If it is, i will litterally cry.

 

[Dr Quincy]

No cap savings while he's on IR.

Has to be on LTIR and miss 10+ games for the team to be able to get cap relief, IOW, allowed to exceed cap by amount of contract on LTIR.

There is NO CAP SAVINGS with player(s) on IR/LTIR.

In fact, either eats up cap space that could be used at the deadline.

 

[one2gamble]

If it is, i will litterally cry.

I was a bit choked up to be honest. I'm not sure how the sharks move forward. Not from a talent perspective but from a personality and love of the game/team

 

[Satastic]

Even after he retires I’m sure they’ll hire him as a mascot or something to keep his attitude around

 

[Friday]

Maybe Jumbo can stay on and coach the PP... Cant get any worse haha

 

[Alwalys]

I swear I saw him get tangled up with a king at some point that game.

 

[tiburon12]

Let's also consider that this road tip has 3 weak teams (Rangers, Islanders, Devils) out of 4 games. and then the next game is the 18th against Buffalo at home. No point in risking injury in the first full week of the season against weaker teams.
