He's not gonna play....
**** DeBoer, anyway....
He is gonna play. Schlemko didn't skate at practice.
Ryan might as well request a trade now. It's obvious where the org stands on him.
Scratch or injury??
Maybe the organization has a reason for calling Mueller over the two. Maybe that reason even makes sense. Don't think we are going to find out. Ryan is only 23 though. He is up for a new RFA contract next year. Unless they promise him a legitimate shot at the NHL, yeah, I would ask for a trade if I were him.
Who knows at this point. Could easily be either. The people who run this team are too ****ing stupid to optimize their roster.
If I were Ryan, I would definitely be upset about not getting a call up. As a kid who has been performing so well it would disappointing to see that you are not getting the recognition. And while I understand that Mueller may not play, I think it is less about that and more about the fact that more deserving players like Ryan and Heed not even getting the chance.

The reason is that Dougie traded a 2nd round pick to move up and select Mueller in the first round, one of the worst picks in franchise history. He is gonna keep giving this worthless sack of **** chance after chance until it becomes utterly impossible to continue denying the obvious: Mueller has never had NHL potential.
Don't look up how Anthony Mantha, the kid drafted with the pick we originally had in that draft before that awful trade, is currently doing.
This is how I feel about Ryan and Heed. You need to reward good performance and show the players that if they play well they have a legitimate chance of making the Sharks. Both Heed and Ryan have played well. Both are RFAs who we'll need to re-sign this off season. Give them a chance.
I know that we don't have all the info but it's still frustrating as a fan. It's probably much more so to the players.
You'd think Sommer would have some say in the matter. Especially when he puts Heed and Ryan out on the ice the most.
Reminds of when Demers was getting scratched for Murray pretty often and Murray would get like 12 minutes of ice time and Demers would get like 19 minutes.

When's the earliest Pickles can come back?
Saturday against Detroit.
And Schlemko not practicing doesn't mean he's out for the next game. Some guys just get maintenance days.
