Coe and Emberson getting QOs is surprising, thought they were on their way out.
Coe for sure but I low key thought Emberson was quite solid when healthyCoe and Emberson getting QOs is surprising, thought they were on their way out.
You mean the guy who got pretty solid reviews for his time with the Sharks last season until he got hurt? Yeah, why would the team want to keep him around.
That’s the same group I would have qualified. I was starting to think that Afanasyev might be let go, since he’s waive eligible and wants an NHL spot and we have like nine fourth line forwards under contract.
Out? What did you hear?I had heard that Grundstrom was out...interesting to see him qualified.
What I had heard was that the trade was about freeing up a contract/positional slot; the Sharks had no interest in Grundstrom.Out? What did you hear?
Afanashev is more interesting to me than most of our bottom 6 forwards. I'd like to see what he looks like with an extended chance.That’s the same group I would have qualified.

It sounds as if he’s finally been able to put it all together. I think they’re banking on that.Honestly Coe being qualified was a bit surprising. Dudes been in the system it seems like forever now and has never sniffed the NHL.
I honestly hope so. Always felt there was potential there. Just haven’t really seen him make much of any noise.It sounds as if he’s finally been able to put it all together. I think they’re banking on that.
Got it. Didn’t hear or read that interview. Well, if he thinks highly of Coe, I’ll take his word for it. Let’s see what he’s got!Todd Marchand spoke highly of Coe in a recent interview with Sheng and @Kcoyote3. Shouldn't really be surprising he was qualified.

He’s had a taste of it so we should know pretty quickly if Coe has a future. He’s 22 and 6’4”. He could put on 15 or so pounds of muscle this summer. If he really wants to play in the NHL he will come back jacked, start living in the crease and going into the corners winning board battles. With his puck skills he could make a career if he starts playing the right way.I’m not sure I’d characterize what Marchand said as “speaking highly” of Coe. In essence what I heard was “we’ve been trying to get Coe to play inside the faceoff dots, instead of what had worked for him in Junior. After two full seasons of not finding success by playing the way he was comfortable, as a perimeter player, he finally decided to give what we’ve been suggesting a try, and he’s been really surprised and encouraged by the positive results”.
On the one hand, good on Coe to adjust and find success, as it probably earned him this contract. It sounded from the Marchand interview that the org felt he finished the season strong and may have turned the corner. On the other hand, WTF, dude? If the whole staff is telling you to make an adjustment to how you play if you want to get to the next level how do you go almost two full seasons in the AHL ignoring the input to the tune of crap results before thinking “hmm, maybe I should listen and implement the things that the people who are literally paid to get me to the NHL are telling me to do”. It’s a bit of a backhanded compliment from Marchand.
I’ve always thought Coe had a really interesting profile when he was drafted, a potential late round gem. So I’m hopeful he has turned the corner. But I imagine he’s been frustrating to coach and develop.
