When we discuss the laughingstock of the NHL today, we’re no longer discussing the Arizona Coyotes.
Now it’s the San Jose Sharks.
Even if the Chicago Blackhawks are last in the league at the time of composing, a minimum of there’s a good swimming pool of quality potential customers: Connor Bedard, Kevin Korchinski, Frank Nazar, and so on.
When it comes to the Sharks, apart from Will Smith and William Eklund, there aren’t lots of quality young gamers in the company.
Quentin Musty is having an excellent season in the OHL (69 points in 39 video games), however there’s no warranty he’ll end up being an effect gamer.
What’s most frightening about the Sharks is the absence of hope on defense.
Which’s part of the reason that Frank Seravalli sees the Sharks as the club that will take the longest to make the playoffs. He thinks they will not make it till 2030.
That’s what he stated in the 47th minute of the most current episode of the DFO Rundown podcast with Jason Gregor.
Hanfin & & #GoBoltsWith #mnwild back in the race, what does that mean for Marc-Andre Fleury?
Great deals of trade talk, plus our Hart Trophy argument– and why I believe #nhljets Hellebuyck is worthy of major Hart factor to consider.

Seravalli and Gregor weren’t scared to state what they consider the Sharks, and it’s not quite.
I welcome you to listen to the entire episode, HereIt’s well worth your time.
By the method, at the 42nd minute, Seravalli discussed that the Sharks are having a difficult time.
“I believe the Sharks are so lost it’s not even amusing.”– Frank Seravalli
Originating from Seravalli, the message strikes home. And I partially concur.
As much as I was the very first to desire Will Smith in Montreal and Eklund need to end up being a great well-rounded center in the NHL, the absence of hope on defense along with the missing out on desire to wish to play in San Jose do not actually assist the Sharks.
They’re not beginning from scratch in their restore, and they have some intriguing gamers on the trade market.
According to David Pagnotta ‘s current short article on The Fourth Period actually half the Sharks’ existing lineup is on the marketplace.
My most current on the huge FOR SALE indication the #SJSharks have actually set up, plus:
— Bettman on #Yotes & Expansion
— TimeToHunt strategies
— Canucks stagnating Zadorov
— #LetsGoFlyers & Walker agreement
— No Pesce/Skjei/Teravainen #CauseChaos talks
— #GoSensGo & Vlad

As discussed in the post, Mario Ferraro, Anthony Duclair, Mikael Granlund, Mike Hoffman, Alexander Barabanov, Luke Kunin, Marc-Édouard Vlasic, Kaapo Kahkonen, Kevin Labanc and Jan Rutta might all alter addresses in between now and the trade due date.
Which’s without pointing out Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture, who are presently on the hurt list and are most likely to miss out on the remainder of the season. Interest in these 2 gamers need to be more powerful next year, or perhaps in the summertime of 2025.
If half of these gamers leave, the Sharks must have some fascinating returns, either with quality potential customers or draft choices. Provided the amount of gamers on the market, it can’t be really appealing for other gamers to come and play in San Jose.
And the environment in the dressing space can’t be undue, considered that essentially anybody might alter address in the future … Unless that’s what the gamers desire, to leave San Jose.
Plainly, the future does not look too rosy there.
