Barracuda News & Discussion VII

[Lebanezer]

The plus is that other than Graf and Mukh, I don't expect any of those guys to get significant NHL time this season. I don't see any reason to interrupt Cagnoni'a first pro season by jerking him around and would rather he just focus on the Cuda this season and worry about making the Sharks next season. If he's still playing this well all season then I'm sure he'll earn a brief call up at some point, but that should be it. I don't really feel like Bordeleau or Gushchin will see significant Sharks time either. So if you have Poturalski, Schuldt, Carlsson, Cagnoni, Gushchin, Bystedt, Bordeleau, Cardwell, and Furlong, I think they're okay from a skater perspective. Graf would be a significant loss, but not back-breaking.

I think the biggest threat to the Cuda is the Sharks taking Askarov. I wonder if he'd be willing to go back for a Cuda after the Sharks' season is done, hopefully for a deep Calder Cup run.

I’m fairly confident that Askarov won’t be in the Cuda for much longer.

Especially because Romanov's been pretty meh so far and Dell's currently being outplayed by Carriere at the ECHL level. If we deal Blackwood I wonder if we do acquire a new AHL goalie in the trade.

Yeah, when I've talked with other fans in Blackwood trade threads, I've specifically sought out teams who can send us back a capable AHL starter.

I’m fairly confident that Askarov won’t be in the Cuda for much longer.

Well, now we see if there's a corresponding promotion from Wichita, though the Barracuda don't play again until Saturday.

Wichita has games on Wednesday/Thursday/Friday, I assume they'll need two goalies.

i would think that if the Cuda are locked into the playoffs in March, we'll see the call ups for sure. I'm wondering if they'd send Smith and Celebrini for a Calder Cup run.

They most certainly wouldn't.

Cuda name a captain

Seems pretty telling that Sabourin is the only guy with a letter that was on the team last year, no?

I just don't get alternating, well, alternate captains between home and away games.

More letters to divvy out.

Seems like a new thing to do, right? The Sharks are doing the same

Well kind of, they just gave the letters out to the veteran players (minus Bailey) and the veterans are almost all new faces.

We named five alternate captains last season and it was Sabourin, Cassels, Todd, Carpenter, Bailey. Then eventually Simek as captain, for the month or so before he was traded.

Get well Nollie
