Kellman cleared. (Handemark getting NHL debut)
I see what you did there...Bravo!its pronounced “shleared”
Bunch o' moves
I'm sure they get a couple days off but the Sharks should be back at practice by Tuesday at the latest I would assume? Clearly they need more practice especially if they're going this long without a game.Getting some AHL practice and reducing cap hit simultaneously? I'll bet several players (Handemark, Leonard) are back when the Sharks play next.
Balcers played with Barracuda last night. He’ll be up with the Sharks soon I’m sure.Balcers to conditioning...? So to the AHL? Isn't that what they normally do for a conditioning assignment? Or is there something else going on?
I don't mind it, on the condition that his job is just to play the F1 and get the puck to one of the other two. He can still skate, and he protects the puck well. As long as he doesn't get any ideas about being an offensive threat, he'll be fine.I like all the lines except Marleau being with Hertl. Love the guy and think he’s been fine in his 4th line role but it’s a bad idea to put him with Hertl.
Marleau should not be the break out or puck carry man at all. Let Hertl get it in and then see if Marleau can take a feedI don't mind it, on the condition that his job is just to play the F1 and get the puck to one of the other two.

See, I feel almost exactly the opposite way. Let Marleau break it out with speed, chip and chase, and then retrieve the puck for someone whose hands didn't age out of the league five years ago. Between the bluelines or below the circles? Go ham, old man!Marleau should not be the break out or puck carry man at all. Let Hertl get it in and then see if Marleau can take a feed
I want to agree but everytime Marleau got it into the zone he would fumble and lose it to whatever D man was thereSee, I feel almost exactly the opposite way.

If we're being fair Patty has been skating hard. Might be good for a jump start for a game. I don't seem him being effective for more than that though.I don't mind it, on the condition that his job is just to play the F1 and get the puck to one of the other two.

How about 3 shifts with Hertl before he goes back to the 4th line.He's either going to get a hat trick or he's going to put up zero points with a -3.
Either way, there's going to be a "3" somewhere on his stat line.
