SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has recalled defenseman Mike Moore from the Worcester Sharks, the team’s top development affiliate.

Moore, 25, made his NHL debut with San Jose on Oct. 19 against the Carolina Hurricanes, registering 7:35 of ice time.

In five games with Worcester, he has posted three points (two goals, one assist) and is a plus-two.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound native of Calgary, Albert was signed by San Jose as a free agent on April 8, 2008.

This means a couple things to me:

1) Douglas Murray probably won’t play tonight.
2) Niclas Wallin might be in worse shape than McLellan indicated at practice yesterday.

With Moore on the roster that gives San Jose eight available defenseman. Scratching Wallin and Murray gives you the six you need, and if McLellan decides to roll seven (like he said he would consider), then either Wallin or Murray will play but be watched closely to see if they can compete at a level that is in their best interest from a health standpoint.

I’m interested to see what happens tonight. Could be a very young blueline getting the go against Colorado.

Pairing Moore and Jaws is a little worrysome. I imagine they get spread out a little.

Definitely. I’d have to think McLellan would consider splitting up the pairings he has going, maybe dropping Vlasic with one of those two in order to balance it out. Otherwise you’re going to see the top four log about fifty five minutes of total ice time tonight haha.

Show me Vlasic/Demers! I wouldn’t mind seeing Boyle/Joslin either.

Although from those quotes in your article on Demers it seems like Huskins and Demers have some good communication and chemistry. They’ll definitely be put to the test tonight with a big step up in competition and minutes.

Joslin/Vlasic could work.

Which would mean Moore/Boyle, which I am okay with.

Did we see some of this in the preseason?

Hard to remember since we only had two games televised…on NHL Network…but I seem to recall it. Moore can be a poor man’s Murray fairly easily.

That;s what I was thinking, too.

I figure that they probably split the Boyle/Vlasic pair from last game (unless they’re suddenly completely in love with it) and stick Moore with Boyle and Jaws with Pickles. I don’t know that I think that’s the best set of three pairs, but they seem pretty intent on keeping Demers with Huskins.

I concluded this also regarding Murray and Wallin. Tonight should be a pretty exciting game, as the Avs will no doubt smell blood (at least in their minds), though their injury problems make ours look like a minor inconvenience.

Be nice to see Joslin get another start tonight. I thought he didn’t look terrible last game…

Of course consider the source and use it as you will....

Eklund is calling Seto and a third for Beauchemin. !!?!

But it’s Eklund…

That could be interesting.

Beauchemin would probably give us some needed blueline offensive production, but he’d basically have to be paired with Pickles. He needs a solid defender to cover him.

I assume Eklund thinks Seto would give Toronto needed scoring. But I’m not sure how assured of that anyone could be.

And I’m not sure the values exchanging hands make sense. Not to mention that I’m pretty sure Seto plus our free cap space isn’t enough room for Beauchemin’s contract (he costs 3.8mil on Capgeek, Seto+free space is 3.2mil on Capgeek).

by Auth0r on Nov 17, 2010 12:28 PM PST up reply actions

According to capgeek we have 1.48m of cap space. Seto for Beach takes on 2m exactly.. But if Joslin is sent down that adds 550k…

I think it just fits by like 30k…. That’s not including probable extras from the Worster shuttle…

And I’m not necc supporting the idea. It’s still am Eklund rumor but it does fit cap wise…

Per Twitter: JeffMarek CAR trades Anton Babchuk and Tom Kostopoulos to CGY for Ian White and Brett Sutter.

Damn.

Ian White was supposed to be ours… OURS!

As I said in another thread, I think it could still work out in a couple months. Just wait till Carolina’s out of contention. Wilson already dealt with Rutherford last year in the Wallin deal, so why not go back to the well?
