The San Jose Sharks are 3 years away from being a solid NHL team. Currently, many players on the roster are marginal NHL players, and the players they are counting on to do big things are still too undeveloped.
The three D-men who would not be on any legitimate roster are Ferraro, Rutta, and sadly, Vlasic. Walman and Ceci are serviceable, and possibly Walman may stick, but I consider them bridge guys. I think Thrun and Thompson will be solid 2nd and 3rd pairing guys. Liljegran may stick. Dickinson, Mukhamadullin and Cagnoni are expected to make the roster within 2-3 years if not sooner for Mukhamadullin. Dickinson projects to a 1st/2nd pairing…we hope.
The goalie situation seems to be whoever gains the most value between Blackwood and Vanecek will be traded, the other should be the backup, and the eventual starter will be Askarov. Again, this could be a 1-2 year development.
Lastly, the forwards have a lot of journeymen and fringe guys. Kostin, Givani Smith, Grundstrom and Nico Sturm don't move the needle. They will be gone. Goodrow and Kunin are serviceable 4th liners. Dellandrea and Wennberg are 3rd/4th liners. 6 fourth line guys and two who are borderline 3/4 liners. Guschkin and Cardwell will replace some of them. The bridge guys are Granlund, Tafolli and Zetterlund – maybe a couple of these stick depending on the development of Bystedt, Bordeleau, Musty etc…and of course the core future guys being Smith, Celebrini and Eklund. I doubt we see Couture again.
Again, 2-3 years at earliest. I still respect all of them – even the low-tier 4th line grinders.
What I would give for an Owen Nolan/Rick Tocchet type prospect to play on Celebrini's wing. 30 and 30 and enough grit to put a guy into the boards and drop the gloves if needed. Maybe Musty? I don't know. Porter Martone might fit the bill. Do they still make power forwards the way they used to? I'm getting old.
I said it in the summer. Sharks are going to win 30 this year.
Definitely hoping for good things in San Jose, it was bad enough watching their old core be so good but never getting over the hill and winning a cup (even if it was my team that beat them that was a great group of guys) Hopefully this time they will, obviously not this year though lol imagine.
Love this content! Could you possibly do a video similar to this for Anaheim?
They’re in a very similar situation as San Jose, however there are questions from the fans regarding the leadership, coaching from Cronin, and roster construction of Verbeek
The defense/goaltending is certainly better (except for a couple last night that Vanachek just sort of waved at). You can tell though that it's still work in progress on offense.
They forecheck better, but they just don't get much offensive zone time (generally) and struggle to move the puck to get good scoring opportunities.
I admit the games I have watched are a small sample size. Being on the east coast I'm in bed way before games on the west coast get started.
I lived in central California back when they came into the league, so they are still "my" team, and I hope they get back to winning form sooner rather than later.
5/9
As a lomgtime Sharks fan, I think you're right that they are past their absolute nadir…but they still have lots of problems. They aren't scoring enough, their power play has gone cold, and their D continues to make giveaways in the D zone and offers zero offensive punch. THe bright spots?Their top 6 and the emergence of Walman and Thompson on D, as well as above average goaltending, which has already stolen them a couple of games….I'm not as optimistic as you that their win streak will continue apace -but at least they're not getting blown out regularly anymore. That's progress.
Correction: They lost to Philly in the shootout yesterday.
Hope and optimism may not be useful but when your team is part of the bottom row
year after year yet it's always nice to see that glimmer of hope…
Thank you for the video 🧡👍
The Sharks did NOT beat the Flyers in a shootout last night. The Flyers beat the Sharks.
I’m getting married at the game at the stars so uh. Please no loss for Dallas then.
The Vancouver game the sharks tied it with about a minute left but gave the goal right back with :30 seconds left. That was a brutal game to tie it just to give up the lead again with only 30 seconds left.
+/-
This shows 6 wins in the last 8, something is wrong 😛
Thanks for the video! They were hard to watch for a while but have found a way to generate some excitement. Good for them!
I enjoy having a team that’s watchable again. They are moving in the right direction but still have a long way to go. Go Sharks!
Compared to last season the overall roster looks much better.
I still think doing a full rebuild where you get insurance on all draft picks is the safer and smarter way to go. Grier did the opposite of that with the Lily trade. Steve Dangle said the sharks overpaid. I would have tried to talk Grier out of that one. I hope Lily is a star sharks player now of course.
Getting a 2nd to take Walman is the type of move I would do myself. Cap dump trades are good for bad teams to take advantage of.
Grier has made the sharks at least be watchable and I give him that.
A Sharks video from the hockey guy? Shannon you spoil us.
Rest of the league best pray we don't get Martone or Schaefer next year
I've been choosing to watch Shark games over Sacramento Kings games when they are playing at the same time for the first time in probably 5 years.
I think it says a lot that the Barracuda are winning games.
I’m getting excited about the future for the Sharks!
So glad to see Granny is off to a good start! Still miss him on the Wild.
Hey HG,
As a long time Sharks fan through thick and thin it looks to me like we are just beginning to see the guys start to coalesce. I think this is the beginning of this roster finding chemistry and cohesion and I suspect by the all star break we will have a much clearer idea of this teams ceiling this season. We are still fiddling with the lines and pairings but, I was very happy to see Coach Wars reunite the "Lund Line." I think they are a solid group that already has established chemistry and gives us at least one line in the bag that is stable and is likely to improve as the season goes on.
Will Smith is showing flashes here and there but, he is still adjusting to the NHL. Celebrini looks like he belongs. Pretty incredible to watch such a young and talented players. I think our defensive corps is beginning to look like there is something cooking that might work.
I suspect that 60 pts is probably a reasonable expectation for this season. I suspect we a re likely to finish bottom 3 barring major injury trouble and depending on which players we trade by the deadline. Things are definitely looking up these days.

I’m thinking the Sharks win 5 of the 10 remaining November games.
Also, PHI won in the SO, not the Sharks.
Good video & liked the various stats!
4 morewins by the end of November.
Granlund won’t be there next season.
Great Video, as usual, Shannon
I can't forgive you for not putting Cagnoni on that list, He's leading Barracuda's Dmen in points with 11 pts in 11 games (4g,7a) he's my most anticipated Dman in the pipeline, the next Dan Boyle. i'm expecting him to man up on the point for the first power play when he comes up, he had lots of chemistry with Celebrini in the pre-season.
I stopped watching the Sharks consistently when management made Erik Karlsson the player to build the team around. Top 3 teams from one season to dead last the next season…with only 1 core player difference. Pavelski. Was never a big fan of EK or any defensive players who consistently risk the dzone for personal points.
sustainable step forward, still a ways to go to become playoff contender?
Dont forget we lost to Dallas in a shootout without Celebrini, wed may be different with him
they’re playing more complete games now, they were still not showing up to the third period at the beginning of the season
This team is infinitely more entertaining to watch than last year, they compete hard night in night out and I’ve seen steady improvement over time as the season goes on
3 Lunds
Let’s go sharks!!! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
hello, as a sharks fan (i live in sj attended 3 games this season) my opinon is: no I dont think this will be sustainable. Main reason is goalies would need nearly 40 saves JUST to keep us in it. our goalies did improve i would take blackwood+vanecek over reimer+kahkonen any day of the week.
The 23rd is The Joe Thornton jersey retirement night, so expect them to have an extra pep in their step.
yes
Really excited about the pipeline right now. Not going to jinx it.
I love that you give the Sharks the time of day. They have been really fun to watch this year, although the start was rough! Thanks again.
At least they’re putting up a fight against some teams – but I’m really concerned about how quiet Smith is…..
What happens to Granlund in trade deadline? Those rookies surely needs him, but what are your predictions?
Let’s GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
When the Sharks were winning , The Tank was constantly packed with 17,562 night in,and night out, it was a hard ticket to get, winning cures everything, Grier has done a good job, considering what he came into, I can see The Tank filling up again in the near future, Grier has the team going in the right direction, still some growing pains ahead, but things are looking up. Great video Shannon.
Revisiting in December, and yes, yes we will.
