    Default Sharks sending Labanc to AHL?

    Interesting. Adjust rosters accordingly.

    1. Kevin Labanc is likely headed to the AHL Barracuda. .

    Puckheads attending the AHL Barracuda?s clash with the Texas Stars at the SAP Center Sunday evening will likely get a chance to watch Labanc flash his skills against minor league talent.

    Labanc received a demotion from the Sharks top line to the fourth line during the second period Saturday and the elevator appeared to be dropping even further once he got out of the shower.

    The 21-year-old forward had a meeting with general manager Doug Wilson within view of a throng of reporters in the Sharks locker room after the game, suggesting a reassignment is imminent. Labanc has recorded just one point in his last six games after bursting out of the gates with three goals and six points in his first seven contests.


    Labanc?s apparent demotion could just be a one-game wakeup call as the Sharks aren?t slated to return to action until the Tampa Bay Lightning roll into town on Wednesday. On the other hand, the Sharks could also recall another skilled forward to take his place among the team?s top-nine forwards until he earns his back to the NHL.

    Danny O?Regan, who won the AHL?s rookie of the year award last season, has recorded five goals and eight points in nine games with the Barracuda, and Marcus Sorensen, who suited up for 25 games with the Sharks last season, including six playoff games, has notched six points in nine games.

    Maybe this opens a spot for Timo Meier to slide into the top six for his opportunity?

    As a Labanc owner, I wonder how long he will be down. The fact that the Sharks have other talented forwards that might be ready for a promotion could mean that he stays in the AHL for longer than a game.

    Bring up O'Regan!

    I need to know what I have in him before he loses farm eligibility.
    It'd be nice to see him get a shot. If he doesn't take advantage, at least it'll make my off-season decisions easier.
