Over/under on Sanheim being scratched for Folin? Is 50% about right? Or 75 for the more pessimistic of us?

Sharks are big, the dinosaurs will need to compensate.

Gudas in for Sanheim and they will go with the two righties together like in pre season.

Weise will be in for jvr instead of Weal.

I cannot imagine MacDonald Hagg against Thornton, Couture or Pavelski.
Provorv has to step up his game.

I don't have issue with mixing it up a bit with top 6. They have not been good enough 5v5.

I don't think it's a demotion, and it probably has more to do with Jake, hoping if he's reunited with G and Couts he'll get his crap together.
Meanwhile, TK with Lindblom and Patrick could be a long-term combination if they work out, 22-20-21 could play together for a lot of years.

While I'm annoyed at the demotion, I'm wondering if it's to spark Patrick.

That dude has been a skating corpse this season. Inject a little speed onto that line and maybe he'll be forced to catch up and skate.
