Sharks Training Camp 2015

[Levie]

Also, am I the only one who things Hertl should be playing wing with big Joe? Seemed like they had chemistry his 1st year but McLellan never seemed to put them together after his injury

Hertl is only decent with JT if Pavelski is not on the line. Even then I'd much rather him player with other players. I don't think he can reach his full potential playing with a player like Thornton. He can score, sure, but Hertl excels when he has the puck on the stick. Joe Thornton ALWAYS has the puck on his stick. Recipe for disaster and Hertl becomes disengaged.

I completely agree.

The thing is...Karlsson was generally seen as a future fourth liner/fringe NHLer/career AHLer before he made that big jump last year. I don't think SJ had him high on the depth chart until he seized the mantle during his spell.

Donskoi has for some time now been considered a potential top-9 forward with a very polished game.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

No one heard of Donskoi before he signed here. Come on now.

Exactly. Players that have been long time pencilled into the top 9 roster were drafted and signed a long time ago.

Sure some people did. And even saw him play , some like to follow hockey and watch games even if one of the teams isn't wearing teal.

DeBoer says all 26 #SJSharks on current roster going on two-game preseason road trip - plus, maybe, some others

Some others? What would this be referring to?

How is Jones looking in Preseason, Should I draft him for my hockey draft?

Nobody will know until he gets the starters amounts of games and in the regular season

 

[KirbyDots]

Several Finnish people.

Joonas Donskoi Go America.

Would it be worth doing a pole on which 12 forwards will play the most games for the Sharks.

Thornton, Marleau, Couture, Pavelski
Hertl, Ward, Tierney
Donskoi, Torres, Wingels, Nieto, Karlsson
Smith, Goodrow
Goldobin, Carpenter
Brown

That is some seriously stiff competition. It will be even crazier next year with Meier likely ready, and perhaps Chartier, Jevpalovs, Labanc, and Sadowy as dark horses.

Only Torres, Smith, Nieto (RFA), Hertl (RFA), Goodrow (RFA) will need new contracts.

do your own pole

 

[ThePlanet]

... and don't bother to include Torres.

 

[matt trick]

do your own pole

Happy to do it, just can't keep up with when something should be it's own thread, and others may have a better idea of how to do so.

What I won't do is the "who should be our #1 LW" "#C"..."13th forward"...."6th D call-up".

I would have in the past, but now, I am not on as much as I used to be.

^^ I got it...and nicely placed behind the "seriously stiff" part....


I'm seriously ready for training camp to be over and the real show to start already!!

Frazer McLaren...

You're actually right. He's one of nine Barracuda recalled today.

what's the deal with that recall anyway?

Grosenick recalled...

 

[sr228]

They might give several of the top 9/top 4 guys a day off tomorrow.

 

[bigwillie]

I'm assuming this is just to get him a little more NHL preseason action and not because someone is hurt, right?

They recalled 9 players.

I mentioned it in the training camp thread but it's probably so they can give their 'vets' a day off tomorrow.
