Rookie Henry Thrun matured and grew despite the San Jose Sharks’ grueling and tumultuous season. The 23-year-old defenseman, who started the season with the San Jose Barracuda, eventually finished only behind Mario Ferraro in average time on ice, above veterans like Jan Rutta and Kyle Burroughs.
There weren’t a lot of feel-good stories on the last-place San Jose Sharks this season. Mikael Granlund was perhaps the best of them. After being dealt from the Nashville Predators to the Pittsburgh Penguins at last year’s Trade Deadline, Granlund produced only a goal and five points in 21 games in the Steel City.
Last week, the San Jose Sharks announced the winner of three organizational awards that were voted on by members of the media. These were the Player of the Year, Media Good Guy, and Rookie of the Year.
If you thought Nico Sturm was blunt in his exit interview last season… buckle up. After setting career highs in goals and assists last season, Sturm—along with most of the San Jose Sharks’ roster—saw less production.
William Eklund started his season slow, but by the end of it, showed why he’s a big part of the San Jose Sharks’ future. Points aren’t everything, but it’s a decent thumbnail for the 21-year-old forward’s first full season.
Mike Grier has a couple ideas about how to make the San Jose Sharks better next season. Of course, the Sharks can’t get much worse, right? Their .287 Points % is the second-worst of the salary cap era, only ahead of the 2019-20 Detroit Red Wings’ .275.
Logan Couture is hoping that his nightmare season doesn’t repeat itself next year. Couture played just six games this season in January, hampered by a deep groin issue, revealed to be Osteitis pubis.
Devin Cooley’s feel-good journey to the San Jose Sharks is well documented. When it happened, it seemed the trade deadline deal was simply a move to bring a hometown player into the mix to close out the season.
When you’re the worst team in the NHL, there’s a lot wrong with you. But if I were to start with one thing for the San Jose Sharks to focus on this off-season, after they ended their year with a 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames?
The San Jose Sharks visit Scotiabank Saddledome to take on the Calgary Flames. Fabian Zetterlund scored, but the Sharks lost 5-1. 7 in: Gushchin tracks him down a Flame, I think Klapka, trying to exit, doesn’t allow an easy exit.
It was an up-and-down first season with the San Jose Sharks for Filip Zadina. Will the pending RFA return next year? “Guys who have been drafted where he was, the expectations are so high,” head coach David Quinn said.
It's the last day of the NHL regular season, and we want to end it on a bang. Most of these games matter very little, but we're seeing quite a lot to like from the Vegas Golden Knights tonight, and we're going aggressive off of that read.
