I wonder why musty isnt with the cuda? Cherny should be joining soon.

Musty is going on ltir for the summer

 

[Shark Finn]

Kasper better watch out--Cherny is stepping into his office!

And actually doing something else too.

It's a joke, Musty would not go on LTIR (which would have zero function or purpose for us at this time), but given his injury he's unlikely to play again this season at any level.

We'll have to wait and see how healthy he actually is. I imagine Sheng will try to find out if he'll play a game with the Cuda, and I doubt the Sharks' brass would let him play if he's not 100%.

 

[Le Rosbeef]

Interesting he says he took a step back this year.

Time to Shine for Denver's Pohlkamp

Interesting article.

I like him just because he said: "Let's go, this is big-boy hockey tonight."

Does anyone have any other sources or stats to back up this claim? There’s no doubt that Pohlkamp is a great defender, but to be ranked #1 out of 503 seems like a stretch.

Musty, on his late-season injury:

It was just upper body—wasn’t too bad, I ended up coming back in Game Two of the playoffs. I feel good now, I feel 100 percent.

Well, I guess either I'm a terrible keyboard doctor or Musty is exaggerating his health a smidge. He didn't look right at all in his series with Sudbury. Glad to be wrong, obviously.

probably somewhere in-between. I doubt your observations were wrong but sometimes its mental.

Yeah, and it's also Musty, and it's also Sudbury, and it's also the fact that they were totally outclassed by their opponents. I would guess he's still not 100% but between the series and now he's improved enough to want to play pro hockey.

Couture unfollowed the Sharks, does that mean anything?

We did this whole news cycle yesterday -- it happened so fast that it's no surprise you and others probably missed it.

Apparently he unfollowed, but then refollowed. Nobody knows what's going on, some fans are speculating he's crashing out, others give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[SjMilhouse]

I feel like I've read about this stuff 100 times this year and can't keep it all straight.

Next year the only prospect who is NHL or CHL is Dickinson right? Everyone else can be AHL? (ignoring the 2024 draft guys but I am curious on Chernyshov because I feel like he's old enough to potentially play in the AHL)

Chernyshov is AHL eligible yes! Sheng confirmed as much

The other Canadian junior players selected in last year's draft are in the same boat as Dickinson, but yes.

[Jargon]

What is there really for Dickinson to prove next year in London? I am really pro-Will Smithing him next year.

 

[Cas]

Not really - Couture is done and will never play again, but we already knew that (well, some people are in denial about that, including possibly Couture, but it's evident at this point).

This is just people looking for "content" to attract eyeballs.

Chernyshov was always AHL eligible being drafted out of Russia.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Nothing really. It's just whether or not things shake out to where a spot on the Sharks is there for him. It seems likely that there will be a spot for him but there are scenarios where he might get squeezed out for next season and have to eat another juniors season like Musty did.

Ostensibly, carrying a mediocre team instead of a powerhouse.

The rule is that players drafted out of the CHL must play in the NHL or CHL until they have played four full seasons in the CHL, or until the season in which they will be 20 as of the end of December. Once their CHL season is over (their team has been eliminated from further competition), they can join their team's AHL affiliate. There was also an exception for players signed to their ELC and drafted out of the OHL during the covid season (Coe was able to play in the AHL at 19 as a result), but that is no longer relevant.

In recent years, Sharks players subject to this rule included Dickinson, Musty, Wetsch, Roberts, Misskey, Weisblatt, Coe, Merkley, Chekhovich, or Chmelevski.

Next season, this will impact Dickinson, Wetsch, and Roberts. Misskey is 20 and now AHL-eligible.

...

Players drafted out of anywhere except the CHL (that is where they last played) are able to play in the AHL at age 18, even if a CHL team owns their rights:

Chernyshov, for example, was considered drafted out of Russia, even though Saginaw picked him in the CHL Import Draft. Halttunen was considered drafted out of Finland. Smith and Celebrini were both AHL-eligible this season, as they were drafted out of the USHL and NCAA respectively (even though Celebrini is Canadian).

It isn't a reason to keep him back but he could be the guy for team Canada in juniors next year (if Schaefer plays NHL)

Would be kinda fun to see a Sharks drafted Schaefer and Dickinson both play on Canada juniors next year though

He could still get released from the Sharks to play WJC. Don't think that impacts the decision personally.
