Prospect Info: Sharks Prospect Info & Discussion Thread XVII

[The Nemesis]

Not announced anywhere but CF says Adam Raska inked an elc as well.

He could be an interesting 4th liner. He's shown some issues with questionable penalties during the WJCs, but if he can sort that out he looks like a high energy sparkplug type this team could use sooner or later.

Confirmed with Link: - Raska signed to 3 year ELC

There’s a thread for it. It’s halfway down.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Smooooooth.

Even though it's against beer leaguers.

Even the ref wants Dahlen's number after that

Gregor and Viel now have competition.

Gregor and Viel now have competition.

A Viel - Ozzy - Raska 4th line would be a pretty annoying to play against. I don't think they'd keep Ozzy up just to play on the 4th line though.

I feel like in today's nhl you need 4 solid scoring lines. Why not run 4 lines with high skill?

It's be an annoying line but it would also be destroyed on a regular basis. Raska needs at least a year at the earliest and Wiesblatt probably isn't ready to center an NHL line.

Oh I agree 100%. I guess depends on who our coach is gonna be, but we've gone so many years without doing that.

Fair point. But the Sharks need to build a team for tomorrow's NHL.

Would say Reedy more likely than Ozzy or Raska on the 4th line. Think he’s got a great chance at potentially making the team out of camp next year. Depends what the rest of the offseason looks like and what they do with Gregor (4th line speedster and PK guy or bump him up to a scoring line). I still contend a 4th line of Gregor-Gambrell-Nieto would be fun. Undersized for sure, but all three are great skaters and should thrive together in a heavy DZ role with PK time.

First they got to start with getting three scoring lines before they get to four.

Can we start with 2?

 

[themelkman]

Can we start with 2?

Well we have atleast one. Kane-Hertl-Barbed Wire is pretty decent

 

[Gecklund]

So it looks like Robinson is the only unsigned prospect that we lose rights for this year. Anyone think he gets signed?

Stats look pretty bad and he is 24. With Emond, Melnichuk, Korenar, and Chrona all in the system along with Jones not going anywhere and Sawchenko being there too, I don’t see any space for him. Granted Chrona is in college but they still can sign someone to an AHL deal.

I seriously doubt it. Sharks have four goaltenders for the NHL/AHL already (Korenar, Melnichuk, Sawchenko, Emond), so I kind of think they're already looking at their NHL backup, two AHL starters, and ECHL backup (provided someone isn't traded or injured). Another AHL contract might happen, but Robinson seems well down the list - I'd re-sign Harvey first. Chrona could be a year away as well (replacing one of those guys).

There just isn't room, and Robinson hasn't been too impressive.

Agree with everything you said.

ECHL announces 2020-21 All-Rookie Team

Congratulations to Garreffa being named to ECHL All Rookie team



Sharks have until August 15 to sign Robinson.

 

[themelkman]

Robinson was pretty much just drafted for being huge if I remember correctly

 

[hohosaregood]

It's crazy how the Sharks are inexplicably bad at drafting in the 3rd round

In 2004 they hit Thomas Greiss haha thats it

Times may be changing. Gush is a guy I really hope works out

I have high hopes for Gushchin. I'm also happy that they're moving away from avoiding these sorts of picks.

Next Wave: 2020 Draft Class

Sharks look at their 2020 draft class

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Our 2020 prospects have been pretty damn awesome across the board. All these guys pretty much produced at a pretty effective level. Makes me optimistic for the future at forward. I have a feeling we go heavy on defense in the 2021 draft past rd 1.
