BARRACUDA HIRE ERIC GRUNDFAST AS DIRECTOR OF BARRACUDA BUSINESS OPERATIONS | San Jose Barracuda

Cuda hire new Biz Ops guy.

In this newly created role, Grundfast will oversee all aspects of the Barracuda’s business operations, including ticket sales, corporate partnerships, marketing, communications and fan relations. His immediate focus will be building out an expanded business staff dedicated to the Barracuda with a primary focus on the successful completion and launch of the new 4,200 seat Barracuda Arena, slated to open in August 2022 at Sharks Ice at San Jose.

Will allow the NHL biz ops to concentrate on SAP Center, and allow Cuda to have their own corps of folks rather than syphoning off of NHL staff.

Can't win the Calder cup...can't get a calder trophy winner...what's the next best thing? Buying a Calder beer.

Love Weinger, was feeling disappointed he might be out the door with all the additions.

I'm anxious to see what happens prior to the start of the season, because at this point I'm figuring some of the guys I have penciled in for the Cuda aren't going to be there anymore.

Officially announced now.

Steenn held his own on the fourth line here, he was better than I thought he'd be.

still seems pointless

Make Brinson feel better. I don't know how critical he is either, but Steenn doesn't take up a contract spot, costs very little, gets to eat up some time in the ECHL and as an injury replacement/late season callup, and has as much upside as any other 26-year-old retread they'd be signing anyway.

I was expecting Steenn to be ECHL fodder, but I didn't mind having him around. I don't know where he's going to fit in with all the forwards the Cuda currently have, but he's fine when he plays. Doesn't look overmatched.

Is he going to progress past where he is now, probably not. Can he contribute on the fourth line in the AHL right now? Yeah.

 

[LadyStanley]

Henderson changing some start times, including one vs Cuda.

 

[LadyStanley]

Cool

 

[Stewie Griffin]

The Barracuda should be strong to start the season. Guys like Merkley and Chemelevski are very close to breaking the big team, and Leonard, Gregor, and Blichfeld have scored at this level. The goaltending may be iffy though.
