Sharks need someone to stand up for their teammates (as cheesy as that sounds) and Gabriel is there to do that. I know he won't contribute much points-wise, but against these physical, annoying teams like the Blues and the Knights, I'm fine with Gabriel being given ice time.
I do agree with you, though, that a forward prospect should play in the top 6, not Nieto.
I would go with something like this-
Kane-Couture-Labanc
Meier-Hertl-Blichfeld
Donato-Gambrell-Leonard
Nieto-Marleau-Gabriel
