DeMelo was recalled from the minors Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo will remember the 2015-16 campaign as the time he broke into the NHL while serving as a depth defenseman. The 22-year-old has played nearly three times as many games in the NHL than the minor-league affiliate this season. He's only combined for nine points in 46 contests between the different league league levels, but is held in high regard by the Sharks for his ability to move the puck and limit mistakes.

DeMelo was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo's stay with the Sharks was a short one, and he didn't see any game action before heading back to the club's AHL affiliate. The 22-year-old blueliner has averaged just 12:18 in 33 contests with the Sharks this season, and doesn't really provide much worth consideration in the majority of fantasy leagues. Expect another update if he winds up being recalled again before the season expires.

DeMelo has been recalled to the Sharks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie defenseman is likely being recalled as insurance at this point, unless an injury pops up between the recall and Thursday's contest against the Devils.

DeMelo found twine on a late-third-period power play Tuesday against the Avs for his first NHL goal.
EDGE Analysis
The tally represents only the rookie's second point in 23 NHL games this season, and considering the very modest offensive upside he's shown in the AHL, this is more of a nice moment for DeMelo than an actionable item for fantasy owners. It is worth noting, though, that DeMelo has seen increased time on the power play over the last two games despite his overall ice time remaining quite limited.

With an assist in Saturday's win over Dallas, DeMelo registered his first NHL point.
EDGE Analysis
With just one assist in 18 NHL games, his fantasy value isn't high. Yet, he's a defenseman of the future for the organization. His real value for next season may begin to crystalize as the season wears on.

DeMelo was recalled back to the Sharks on Friday, Kevin Kurtz of CSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo is having an up and down year, literally, as he bounces back and forth between the majors and minors. In his two NHL games, the defenseman recorded just two shots on goal and was a minus-1.

DeMelo was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo was recalled before Saturday's game as an extra in case one of the Sharks' blueliners couldn't go, and he'll now return to the minors following the contest. He'll once again provide organizational depth, and could continue to move between the two clubs when needed.

DeMelo was recalled to the NHL on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo is getting a shot with Justin Braun being placed on injured reserve. DeMelo has posted no goals and five assists through 12 games with AHL San Jose this season. He may be up with the team for a bit, but there's not yet any indication that he'll draw into the lineup.

DeMelo was returned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo may ride the carousel all year -- up and down, up and down. He's played just two NHL games this year and he's young enough that the team will prefer him getting games in the AHL to sitting in the press box in the NHL. That lack of consistency makes him tough to roster.

DeMelo has been recalled from AHL San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo makes his return to the big club following an initial two game stint during mid-October. DeMelo is not likely to play for the time being, as the Sharks don't have any injuries on their back end, meaning his recall was prompted only by Mirco Mueller's reassignment to the AHL.
