Sharks Training Camp 2015

[LadyStanley]

So, expect McLaren's assignment to Barracuda to be announced soon.

SJSharks lines this AM -- 8-19-82, 12-39-42, 57-48-83, 18-50-13. Looks like Goldobin gets shot on top line

Ward seems set on stone on that 2nd line, hopefully it works out. Wouldn't mind a trial of others there, but I prefer him to Hertl playing wing on the line.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Jesus... I'm a mess right now around here.

One week until real hockey. We're close.

I wonder who our whipping boy will be this year. Most of these guys should at least be competent.

Marleau

Mike Brown is still on the roster. I wouldn't also be surprised if the "Burns back to forward debate" starts again. Also, some people here have some irrational hatred of Dillon.

I'm betting on Dillon. The same people who hated Demers will now hate Dillon and talk about how horrible the trade was.

Yeah, and Dillon will be playing on his offside all season, so I expect neither side of the argument will concede.

I really really hope they sent Mueller back and start with Dillon-Tennyson. But I do see that as an unlikely scenario.

 

[weastern bias]

"Burns back to forward debate" starts again.

We don't have the depth for that, and haven't since Boyle left

I'd much rather start the "Burns to another team" debate

I believe in Brenden Dillon

The guy can't play defense, but that's why we got Martin.

You won't be happy until Burns is a healthy scratch in the KHL.

Yes, trade Burns for someone who know how to look up "defense" in the dictionary

You won't be happy until Burns is a healthy scratch in the KHL.

I will never be happy

Then there will be no one on the blueline who can even put up 25 points. Again, Burns having more experience on D again plus being on a pairing with Martin will help a lot.

The Dillon-Tennyson pairing was one of the bright spots last season, but then Hannan got healthy and that was the end of that. I sadly also agree that seeing the scenario you outlined is indeed unlikely.

 

[LeeIFBB]

This could be one of the best looking forward groups, that won't score enough goals to seriously contend, EVER.

 

[OrrNumber4]

I don't quite get the fascination with Tennyson. He has good size and has good speed. He has lateral mobility issues, makes dumb plays, is fairly soft, and outside of his hard shot, doesn't have any notable offensive skills. I don't think I've quite forgiven his atrocious 2014 season (in Worcester).

He had 8 points in 27 games last season, which wasn't too shabby all things considered. Also, being paired with Dillon helps cover up some of the legitimate critiques you have, after all, there are no perfect players, and that's where chemistry is important.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Am I the only one who wants Mueller to suck tonight so it's Tennyson & Demelo fighting it out?

I really want Dillon the left side and also want Mueller to develop as a top pairing dman. He'll only get that chance playing top pairing minutes in the AHL.

 

[hohosaregood]

"Are the Sharks quietly roaring back?"

probably a post at some point during the season

 

[do0glas]

Tennyson gets love because he was a mobile d man when we were sticking Hannan in the back. I think it's hyperbole that he makes dumb plays and is soft but he's no better than #6. It's just a great spot for him. Limited minutes, puck mover, can step up on 2nd pp unit on a pinch and has a good point shot. Who do we have that's better in that slot?

I think demelo has looked better though and would like to see them fight it out.
