That's a nice looking arena. Lots of on-ice ads though. Are most AHL rinks like that?

Yeah, I did notice that in road games. Couple examples:

Bakersfield

San Diego

Pristine (no ads) as of image

Wonder when they'll pull "paper" off glass

Thought the Barracuda were getting a new logo as part of the rebrand? The logo at centre ice appears to be the same.

They are gonna rename the mascot Hombre and are simply adding a thick bushy mustache to the Barracuda in the logo. All they will need to do as far as the ice surface is add the mustache over the logo at center ice. Once they announce everything, of course.

It all fits with the bigger, tougher, more masculine playstyle MG wants.

I believe this is technically a new logo. They changed the size of it pretty recently in comparison to the letters behind.

I’ve always thought the barracuda logo was pretty friggin cool. The new version with the SJ with the Barracuda intertwined is really good.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Beautiful.

That was the rumor, they didn't officially say they would.

The one thing I'd point out is that the jersey they revealed early on had no logo on it (just "CUDA" in diagonal writing), and the teaser that came out last week just showed the shoulder and nothing about what's on the front. Could be nothing, but I'm waiting til Thursday to see.

I hope you’re right. I wish the Sharks would revamp their look as well. The current permanent home and away jerseys are the worst set in the Sharks existence IMO.

Solid disagree from me. I hate the 2007-2013 set with the yoke and the orange piping so much. Current set is 2nd worst out of the 4.

That's an interesting one. Right handed center, scores at a decent rate in the AHL, looks like he gets involved physically- so, Chmelevski replacement?

Statistics of Luke Johnson, a hockey player from Grand Forks, ND born Sep 19 1994 who was active from 2011 to 2025.

He played for the Wild in 20-21, had 1 goal and 5 PIM. The 5 PIMs are from fighting Viel:

Feels like the AHL team had plenty of players; no need for warm bodies even with Chmelevski gone. I'm guessing they actually want some element of Johnson's game.

 

[Hobocop]

Finally, a defense addition! (yes, as in former #8 overall pick Derrick Pouliot)

 

[hohosaregood]

I think we have like 19 forwards that could play in the AHL this year. I'd guess Ibragimov and Hamaliuk are more likely to be ECHL bound and there's room for a 13th and 14th forward in the NHL which could be Gadjovich and Viel. So I'm guessing we'll have about 15-16 forwards rotating in the AHL which is fairly reasonable

 

[gaucholoco3]

It is really obvious they are prioritizing the Cuda this year.

I love that signing honestly. If Merkley stays with the big club they still have an offensive option on the right.

 

[themelkman]

They are really loading up on bruisers. Hopefully they dont get played over guys who prove they are worth having in the lineup.

I think it’s more to get a little bit of experience into the lineup. With so many new guys and guys in their first couple years and a brand new head coach, think it makes sense to have a couple veteran guys.
