Recalled/Assigned: 2023-24 Sharks/Barracuda

[Sharkz4Fun]

Damn I woke up and that Labanc news ruined my day already. TWICE we've been blueballed. First the Myers deal and now this. WHEN WILL IT END??

Also, it will be hilarious if Thrun eventually gets 3rd pairing minutes on the 'Cuda with Shakir and the rest there. Imagine playing your 2nd or 3rd best defensemen in the organization against 3rd line AHLers

Simek being waived is addition by subtraction.

Labanc would've been too but it's too bad it turned out to be fake news.

 

[LadyStanley]

Doubt he'll play with Cuda tonight. But maybe tomorrow

I guess we're putting AHL/ECHL transactions here, couple late ones today. Ethan Frisch and Artem Guryev sent to Wichita (ECHL).

The Cuda D roster is in a weird state, we've got the rehabbing Okhotiuk, we've got the husk of Radim Simek, we've still (I guess?) got Gannon Laroque, who hasn't been seen or mentioned all season. And there's still going to be more change coming once Okhotiuk's rehab is done, and MacDonald comes off IR. Your guess is as good as mine who's still here in a couple weeks.

Official notice

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[TheBeard]

And the circle is complete.

 

[Hobocop]

Frisch and MacEachern are recalled from Wichita (ECHL) to the Cuda.

Bords? Is Couture close to return?

 

[Hodge]

Bords? Is Couture close to return?

Even if Couture isn't close, Bordeleau could really use more time to develop in the AHL.

 

[Barrie22]

And people said Bords had made the decision difficult for the team to keep him up.

There was no way he was making the team with a healthy team to start the year.

 

[hohosaregood]

I'm pleased to see the changes that Bordeleau made to his game but yea, he could use more AHL time

 

[weastern bias]

Bordeleau was one of the 12 best F on this team even once Couture and Granlund are healthy

This is still the right decision, let him play big minutes in all situations against lesser comp rather than 4th line minutes on a historically bad team in the NHL

 

[Hobocop]

Connor MacEachern returned to the ECHL.

Hasn't been any transaction yet, but without clearing waivers, Okhotiuk cannot play another game in the AHL. His conditioning loan should end Thursday and the Cuda are off til Friday.

 

[LadyStanley]

I'd expect Okhotiuk to be returned to Sharks (already has roster spot).

And there it is

 

[Hobocop]

I'd expect Okhotiuk to be returned to Sharks (already has roster spot).

And there it is

Except now with MacDonald coming back too, we do actually have to make a move, unless we plan on playing with 12F going forward... maybe we'll see if we can get a conditioning loan for him, too?

 

[Friday]

Sharks going to roll with 9 #7 d men haha

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Save us Okhotiuk!!!

 

[LadyStanley]

MacDonald taking roster spot created by demoting Bordeleau

I'd expect another move soon to allow for at least 13f

 

[hohosaregood]

Hoping Okhotiuk loves his goalie like a lineman loves his QB.

 

[weastern bias]

Hoping Okhotiuk loves his goalie like a lineman loves his QB.

*fingers crossed* not Mike Mcglinchey

 

[timorous me]

I really hope they're good about giving Okhotiuk regular game time to see what he can do. Look at what Emberson has done after they had him ride the pine for, what, the first four games? Arguably the Sharks' best defenseman since he's been playing.

MacDonald maybe to play forward and run the point on the power play?

 

[OrrNumber4]

It will be very interesting to see how Bordeleau and Peterson respond. Hopefully, they take the feedback without pouting.

Seems like the team should waive Macdonald, Burroughs, and Vlasic. The AHL team could use the veteran help.
