I think Ferriero was brought up because he is the best fit for a top 6 role and I think he’s going to have a really good opportunity to prove he belongs in the NHL.

If he can find some consistency in his game and contribute some on the score sheet it’ll give the Sharks some options when Havlat comes back.

Except Seto plays enough games to score goals. LOL!

He’s our leading scorer in the AHL despite missing 6 games, and he’s come through in a couple of clutch situations before when playing with the big club. His overtime goal against Detroit in Game 1 last year, on his birthday no less, definitely should prove a bit of his worth. Defensively, he’s not too shabby, either. The biggest problem is his size. He’s not a roster player regularly because we like to have bigger guys in our 3rd and 4th lines, Torrey Mitchell being the exception, and because we wanted him to develop better offensively. Ferriero also isn’t a stranger to dropping the gloves, which is good because he doesn’t let other players knock him around because he’s smaller.

In the past, he’s played well with Clowe and Couture, so it’s interesting that he’s up on the first line with Jumbo and Pavs. It gives Jumbo another right-handed shot to play with, and that could work out well. As much as I dislike the thought of Marty being out long-term, Ferriero isn’t anything to panic over.

And since I wrote this, I jinxed it and he’ll be -347 for the night.

This is the first year since 07-08 that he will miss an extensive amount of the season.

I genuinely do like Havlat. That being said, he hasn’t done much so far this season. There’s time yet to prove everyone wrong though.

And I don’t take too much stock in Minnesota fans being happy to see Havlat and Burns go. They needed a change there, and losing those two guys were part of that change. Many here on FTF were happy to see Heater to go; doesn’t exactly mean that the player is no good. It just means that he didn’t work out for the team…

He is a very smart player, always in the right position. I think his offensive game will show through eventually.

The better Ferriero plays now the better the return we’ll get from him.

Ferriero and Mike Moore for soon-to-be UFA Shane Doan? Yes plz.

Or maybe Minnesota wants another Sharks forward. I wouldn’t mind me some Cal Clutterbuck.

lmaooo

The Sharks won’t likely be facing Roloson tomorrow…

It would be a mistake to separate McGinn & Handzus right now, they’ve developed very good chemistry and are playing really well.

I don’t understand, maybe you should write a fanpost about it?

If he can finally transition that to the NHL, then he’ll definitely be making a very good case to stay.
