San Jose Sharks Send Annti Suomela to Barracuda

The San Jose Sharks have finally made a decision on Suomela, at least for the time being. It was announced yesterday that the Sharks have sent Annti Suomela down to the AHL for further training and ice time.

He was the victim of a couple of healthy scratches recently, and his play has slowed down of late. Suomela had seen a demotion to the fourth line, and diminishing numbers as it looks like the NHL game had caught up to him a bit.

Since the return of Joe Thornton the vaunted “Scandinavian Design” (sorry), of Suomela-Sorensen-Donskoi had been broken up, and Suomela pushed down to the fourth line where he’s seen light production.
