Sharks Roster Discussion Part IV

[Evgeny Oliker]

Dell

I have a few questions about Dell:

1. Do you think he has the potential to be a #1 goalie in the NHL?

2. Can he eventually challenge Jones for the #1 job?


Thanks.

1. Probably not
2. Probably not

But, between you and me, I kind of hope so. He's rock solid in terms of positioning although I'm not sure if he's got the sheer athleticism to make up for his size.

I guess we might as well do an end of year advanced stat check up.

Season total:
http://www.naturalstattrick.com/pla...pfilt=none&fd=2016-10-12&td=2017-04-08&tgp=25

Personal highlights:
-Tierney might be developing into a pretty solid player. Last 25 games, he's been at a 52 CF%
-Timo's not scoring but the possession stats are ridonkulous so that's a nice sign. Good CF, FF, SCF, HDCF ratios.
-I dunno if it's the role they get stuck with but Vlasic and Braun don't work together this year. In limited minutes away from Braun, Vlasic puts up like 58 CF% vs their 46 CF% together. Braun is capable when partnered with not Vlasic.
-Personal heartbreaker: Goals go in a lot when Hertl is out there.

Vlasic and Braun legit play the hardest minutes in the league, but they've been bad this year.

Was Braun injured? Or is he nursing something?

 

[AgentCooper]

Was Braun injured? Or is he nursing something?

Based on his scratch last night, yeah, maybe.

 

[Le Grand Quebecois]

Could Ward take on a Center role on the bottom 6?

I think his faceoff % is decent and I was wondering your thoughts on the idea of him centering a bottom pairing, say as an alternative to Haley or a call-ups?

Maybe, I suspect Vlasic is injured as well.

Who are you talking about? Tierney?

He's talking about Ward. It's in his post title.

Can't see post title on mobile unless you're looking for it.

 

[Jaleel619]

All hals had to do was hit Luc with a left the other night.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Maybe, I suspect Vlasic is injured as well.

I was thinking that as well. He doesn't seem as active as usual in the games I have seen.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

This is rosterish, not a word. Daryl Sutter is now available!

 

[hohosaregood]

We should hire Sutter and Lombardi.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

We should hire Sutter and Lombardi.

You must be too young to remember the Deano days.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say hohos is joking.

Thanks.

1. I think so, but I'd give it another year. He could go the way of stalock, but stalock had terrible AHL numbers and Dell has stellar AHL numbers so it doesn't seem likely that Dell will be non NHL quality, although he can/probably will decline a little bit. If he plays this good next year, 100% he could be a starter.

2. Even if he does play the same next year it seems highly unlikely. Jones is proven (relatively) to be a capable starter. Considering the cost to acquire Jones, his age, and his playoff performance last year, it would take Jones playing at an atrocious level and Dell being lights out for an extended period of time before that happened.


I think it would be wise for LV to take him and draft someone like pavelec and give Dell the reigns and if he falters at least they have a not God awful goalie.

If Jones keeps playing like he does in March, they might have no choice but to go with Dell.

 

[FunkyPhin]

If they have to, I have faith in Dell. Even though we haven't seen much of him this season he hasn't been a liability, except for that one game when the whole team was playing awful. Dell has been good enough for the team infront of him to win on a nightly basis. Whether that continues with more ice time or not is to be determined.

 

[Vaasa]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say hohos is joking.

I certainly hope so!

 

[Juxtaposer]

So this is probably really not the time for it but we should go after Alex Galchenyuk this offseason. I saw he's starting on the Habs' fourth line. Definitely a ton of talent there, maybe a future #1C.

Not to pick on you specifically, but the tradition is that during the playoffs, no other hockey discussion but the playoff discussions are ever bumped. Nothing about prospects, trade speculation, draft, roster speculation, etc. The fans try to follow the example of the players in that nothing matters but the playoffs; live in the moment.

Silly tradition? Yes. Superstitious nonsense? Absolutely. But, I still like it!

We've never done that to the best of my recollection. It may be your own personal tradition, but I can't say I ever remember it being one for the board at large.

You guys still feeling Strome?
