The Sharks lost two more players before last night’s game, as Ryan Vesce was recalled to San Jose and Torrey Mitchell went back to the NHL at the end of his conditioning stint.
He'll probably start out on the 4th line and if he's still got speed(please dear God tell me he hasn't lost his wheels... ) then he'll eventually fight ortmeyer or someone for a 3rd line spot.

It will be great to have Mitchell back, hopefully at full strength. I have an idea he may needs some time and games to get up to speed, but if he can regain the stride he had two seasons ago that will be great news for the Sharks...
MY 2 FAVORITE TEAMS ARE (1) SAN J0SE SHARKS and (2) ABSOLUTELY ANYONE PLAYING THE ANAHEIM DUCKS!!! SHARKS NATION LIVES HERE!!! "DON'T TELL ME, SHOW ME!!!!!!!"

According to DP(I think, know i heard it somewhere lol) Mitchell probably wont play wednesday but should be playing soon. They had to get him off of the conditioning stint to avoid waivers.
Scary thought: If he absolutely sucks, waivers may end up being the only choice...

Probably not a bad idea by the coach, although I'm headed to tomorrow night's game and would love to see him skate.
He won't absolutely suck, and he won't have lost a stride. Quit worrying, people, he'll be fine! That being said it might take him a few games to get used to the NHL level again.
i read that mclellan doesnt want to rush in bringing him back, I'll be at the chicago game tonite so id love to see him but it probably wont happen. im thinking he'll debut either on the canada trip starting friday or next weeks home stand
