Recalled/Assigned: Sharks Recalls 2016-17: Meier reassigned 4/23/17

[Juxtaposer]

I was on board with all of this until you kept Ward in the lineup. I'd prefer Boedker play over him on the second line with couture and Marleau. Move donskoi to the third and Meier to the Cuda line.

Ward is better than the non-superstar version of Boedker, which is Boedker 90% of the time. Ward is still a useful player defensively, physically, on special teams, and he chips in goals every once in a while. He also gives a young 4th line some vet presence. He'd be much more useful in the fourth line than Boedker.

That's fair, I just don't like how Ward is playing right now. I still think Boedker could work with Marleau and Couture though. That's where he was at his best.

If Hansen is out, I'd like to see Sorenson on the top line. Some great, much needed speed with Thornton and Pavs.

Hadn't thought about that - but I wouldn't be opposed to trying it. He has been driving that 4th line for the last few games. Would be interesting to see him with the Joe's. Could definitely see it working.

This actually sounds like a good fit.

Ward does a lot of good things (like contributing the 5th most points of our forwards) and I think many folks undervalue/underappreciate him.

I would move Boedker back to the second line though.

 

[Kcoyote3]

I think Ward is playing slow lately. He could use a game off.

 

[mooncalf]

Just saw the Kurz article that Hansen is with the team in Dallas (though his status is still unknown). Hopefully if he is well enough to travel that means his injury isn't too bad.

 

[hohosaregood]

Hopefully coaches actually do some experimenting. We definitely need to shake things up

O'Regan sent to Barracuda and then to Allen.

that's just weird.

 

[Gecklund]

O'Regan sent to Barracuda and then to Allen.

Only thing I can think of is that they want him to play today before calling him back up. Americans play tonight while Barracuda don't play again until Saturday. Even then though it doesn't make much sense to me.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

that's just weird.

I think it's merely a scheduling convenience because Allen is in Missouri tonight for a game. I think it's just a cap-saving move until Friday.

Why are the Sharks still worried about saving cap space this season? Is anyone in range of hitting a bonus?

They have five players including O'Regan that have bonuses in their ELC but it could just be a simple matter of ensuring that they have space if more short-term injuries pile up or if the flu bug gets worse.

And then Allen is back home on Friday, in the Dallas metroplex, where the Sharks will be on Friday for the Sharks at Stars game on Friday. That might play into it too.

Barracuda are in SD tonight.

Allen is a whole lot closer to Dallas than SD.

And on his ELS, O'Reagan can be assigned to ECHL.

Cap move.

Pete's coffee was cold.

 

[The Nemesis]

Pete's coffee was cold.

He also asked for cream and 2 sugars and O'Regan brought him non-dairy creamer and 3 splendas. That's why he went all the way to Allen instead of just back to the Cuda.

Boedker?

Guessing he wanted a Great Dane.

Wanting real sugar in your coffee and only having splenda is terrible

I'm not one for sugar in my coffee. Down for milk though.
