Boom, undefeated (do not look into my record)

Think Bystedt used to wear 18 internationally if I remember right

Yep that's exactly right.

I'm vacillating between "being respectful of vet who was traded from contender to basement dweller and is expected to be a leadership guy" vs. "taking top prospect's number from him to give to depth guy makes me concerned that we're keeping Ceci at the deadline".

I think Dickinson only had #4 because Thrun wore his #3 anyway, and he wore #2 as the team captain for Canada at the U17s, so I don't know if he's too fussed about it, just seems like a "give me a single digit" kinda guy

Jesus, Thornton has become THE face of the franchise, hasn't he.

Yeah I don't think Dickinson is especially attached to #4 but for this to happen either the team would have had to specifically go out of their way to reach out to him about it or they just did it and told him. Either way, it feels weird to me.

 

[Star Platinum]

meh, hes going to teach him how to grow taller

Son, it's time to work on your beard game...

It's all gonna be water under the bridge when he debuts in 2 years wearing #1 and wins the Norris, Hart and Conn Smythe as a rookie and rips the C off Couture's chest before skating over to Bettman and ripping the cup out of his hands without waiting for the photo op

 

[Star Platinum]

Yep that's exactly right.

By the time Dickinson is on the big roster, that number will be available again

 

[gaucholoco3]

Dickinson has been changed to #6 on the rookie faceoff roster so I'm assuming Ceci is taking back the #4 he wore in Pittsburgh

Not confirmed there but we're also still waiting on Dellandrea, Walman and Wennberg for confirmation on jersey numbers for new additions, also not sure about Goodrow but I don't see why he wouldn't take back #23

? #4 - Ceci
#30 - Askarov
#73 - Toffoli
#91 - Grundstrom

? - Dellandrea, Goodrow, Walman, Wennberg

This is what my brain is always thinking of in the background

I saw #4 at a skate over the weekend while watching my son play. I thought it looked like Ceci but definitely not Dickinson.

Sheng just tweeted about some of the Sharks practicing at Sharks Ice:



That is what number he wore in Flint.

Not sure I love Dickinson wearing Merkley's old number.

Would be more concerning if Dickinson could fit into the little guy's jersey. At least we know they have to get an Adult Sized uniform for #6 this time.

It’s odd that Sam would be the 9th shark of all time to wear the number 6, and they’re ALL defensemen.

It's a pretty rare number for forwards in general

Great shot, jersey looks clean

 

[OrrNumber4]

Yep that's exactly right.

It's 100% the former. It would be weird if the Sharks didn't let Ceci have his preferred number because a prospect who isn't even in the AHL wanted it.

I am overflowing with exuberance

Things will obviously change when we start losing games, but man the vibes are so f***ing immaculate this year.

I'm really bummed about Brodie. Hedi is also gone, right? Who's left? Drew and Baker?

Don’t forget Ratto.

 

[TheBeard]

Don’t forget Ratto.

Hannan's gone too, right?

 

[The Nemesis]

Don’t forget Ratto.

Oh my god, if Ratto becomes a fixture on Sharks broadcasts I might actually become grateful for how infrequently Sportsnet+'s choice of feed is the NBCSCA one.
