Recalled/Assigned: Sharks roster moves 2021-22: 4/17 Hatakka recalled

Where has Dzingel been? Doesn't seem like he has any AHL stats for the Cuda so I'm guessing he hasn't been playing Cuda games?

Apparently his wrist is injured and he just disappeared.

Sommer had some thoughts on that:

Tfw the org is so ridiculously tight-lipped that even coaches don't know what's going on

His wrist had been Dzangling off his arm so he had dzurgery.

We've been talking pretty regularly now about who we even want back from this Barracuda team while we watch games lately. On that list: Pederson (provided he clears waivers) and Halbgewachs. That's about it. Blichfeld has taken a big step back in a lot of ways and McGrew is pretty replaceable.

If you need to open up more roster space, there's Ibragimov and Hamaliuk. Ibragimov has already been sent to the ECHL and Hamaliuk can just be a regular healthy scratch (he basically already is right now). Neither of them IMO should be taken into account when we're talking about AHL roster spots.

Gallant and Morand also fall under the category of "They could be back, but if they're not, whatever."

I also want Weinger back, again.

I think they have enough flexibility with contracts to not have to worry about opening up lineup spots on the Barracuda. I don't see anyone with an expiring RFA deal that should be qualified at this point. I think they've called up anyone worth a damn at this stage. lol

this is why media members need to start playing a Let's Just Cut the Bullshit instant before their Injury Inquiry sorcery

Yeah, in this case I mean the Barracuda would be well served to stop bringing back guys like Topping and Hrabik (even without the racism stuff, that guy was useless) and try to surround the rookies with some veterans and talent who can actually play at the AHL level, like he mentioned. I don't really want to see Robins out there with Steenn Pasichnuk on his wing or something.

None of the pending RFAs are anyone they need to qualify, though, no. Maybe Brinson Pasichnuk, since he looks good when he does play, but those health issues are a concern.

Kinda surprised they went with Weatherby over Pederson, he's been pretty meh lately.

It’s the size difference.

 

[TheBeard]

It’s the size difference.

Youth difference as well. Now that we've been eliminated . I anticipate we're gonna see Bordeleau before the season's out anyways.

Wouldn't he need a contract first? Not that caphit will be a huge issue for the Sharks given their current non-contending status, but he wouldn't qualify for an ELC slide either so it'd seem like a waste to burn a year for like 5 NHL games at the end of the season.

He would need a contract. Them signing him to an ATO makes it seem like he won't get in Sharks games this season.

We could sign the OHL/WHL kids to play some Sharks games without burning a season I think.

The kids under contract could be given nine games like Gush, Coe, Robins, and Wiesblatt.

I don't think Coe qualifies since he turned 20 in December.

Coe doesn't have the nine game slide thing but they can play him on the Sharks.

Hatakka was re-assigned to the Cuda 4/20, but recalled yesterday 4/24.

Cuda have released Bird and McInnis from PTOs

 

[TheBeard]

I didn't like how Hatakka looked this weekend, but I guess when you lose like 15 in a row no one looks good.

As an uneducated observer what are the Sharks plans for goal next year? I'd assume they're going to move on from one of Reimer or Hill as they have 3 non-waiver exempt goalies?

Probably keep Reimer and Kahkonen and trade Hill.

Strauss Mann and either Zach Sawchenko or Magnus Chrona hold down the spots in the AHL, with Zacharie Emond in the ECHL. Ben Gaudreau in the OHL, then moving up to the AHL.

Sawchenko likely isn't an NHL goaltender, but he's adequate in the AHL (poor numbers this year probably indicate how utterly awful the Barracuda were defensively more than they indicate his own talent) and might be the first goalie called up when necessary. I don't think we have a good sense of Mann or Chrona yet. Emond is bad.

This only happens if Doug Wilson gets hired somewhere else.

Someone will be willing to buy a below-average, youngish goaltender with one year on his relatively cheap deal.
