That said, chances are Gabriel was added for organizational depth and will head to the AHL, rather than taking a spot in the Sharks’ lineup. San Jose has done a good job adding some forward depth in the offseason and it could be a good idea to use the few open spots to filter in younger players with higher ceilings.
Gabriel will get the chance to fight for a spot in the bottom-six, however, and extra depth is certainly better than no depth.
