Injury Report: 2024-25 Sharks/Barracuda health: Askarov has "little" setback

[TheBeard]

I'll take him over Desharnais tho

I’ll take a stop sign wearing a helmet over Desharnais.

 

[TheBeard]

Might be one reason he hasn't played to your expectations

So he’s been playing with an upper body injury for three years?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I'd have no problems trying Vlasic or Thrun and putting Cagnoni on the right side to see how that plays out. We don't really have any hopeful options after Desharnais anyway.

And Pashelka does not think that Gushchin nor Bordeleau will be recalled as that would need four forwards to get injured to be recalled on emergency basis.

Schuldt went to lockerroom during game

The cuda could be a scary 5th/6th place team come playoff time with players coming back from injury and the sharks season ending which can then send down some of the cuda top players back down.

It would be a massive boost to get Graf down there but honestly I think Ostapchuk spends most of next year there.

The sharks in essence can get Mukh, graf, thompson, schuldt, Carlsson, Lund, and then even any of the chl players that get eliminated early and not injured.

Maybe, but some of these guys may want to rep their country at the Worlds in May.

None of those guys will make the world teams. Celebrini is a lock. Smith could definitely be an option. Eklund is a lock.

I think you’re thinking of something different

Some of them easily could. Jaycob Megna and Noah Gregor were recent Sharks' representatives to the World Championships.

Pashelka is reporting that Asky will start for the Cuda on Wednesday...I don't think this is an April Fools joke

I think Ostapchuk spends most of next year there.

Probably a better life than continuing to have to play on a line with Goodrow.

 

[Cas]

Goodrow himself spent most of his age 21 season in the NHL before returning for most of his age 22-23 seasons. I don't think it's unreasonable to see Ostapchuk return to the AHL for his age 22 season. He has tools, but clearly is not NHL-ready, so why not give him more time to cook?

I'm not even trying to shit on Goodrow again—I honestly have not been able to tell, with his linemates and most of the defense behind him, what we have in Ostapchuk at this point.

Both those guys had been established NHL players that whole season and Quinn was the coach of team USA for Megna.

Megna was only "established" in the sense that the Sharks were so bad that he was a legitimate option. He played a career-high 44 games that year, at the age of 29.

Honestly, Graf is basically as established an NHL player as Megna was (he's certainly more established than Megna's Team USA teammate Thomas Bordeleau was) and could easily wind up on the team. Lund will have exactly as much experience as Bordeleau did.

The only guy on that list I would absolutely rule out of the World Championships is Mukhamadullin, because he's Russian.

Left game after awkward hit favoring shoulder

Left game after awkward hit favoring shoulder

Oof, it always sucks for a player to get injured in the meaningless last few games of a season and have to spend the offseason rehabbing.
