NHL: San Jose Sharks will have several will have new players to integrate once training camp starts in September.
with NHL experience since the end of last season. They’ve also changed the look of their defense corps and didn’t re-sign the goalie who appeared in 91 games over the past two years.
The team with the worst record has a 25.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, as most Sharks fans became acutely aware of a few months ago. That won’t be easy, even if San Jose keeps 14 forwards for the start of the regular season. The additions of Duclair, Granlund, Hoffman, and Zadina, plus holdovers Barabanov, Couture, Hertl, Kunin, and Sturm, make for a crowded top nine. Eklund and Bordeleau would gladly take fourth-line roles if meant staying in the NHL, but Zetterlund, Lindblom, Peterson, Carpenter, and Smith are also in the mix for those spots.
Carpenter has played as a fourth-line center in the NHL before and might be best suited for that role right now ahead of the skilled Bordeleau, although the Michigan product will be given ample opportunity to showcase himself in exhibition games. There’s also a chance Granlund becomes the third-line center and Sturm drops down to the fourth line, opening up a top-nine spot.
While Mukhamadullin, Okhotiuk, and Pulli likely need more time in the AHL, Thrun, from all appearances, is more NHL-ready. Can he supplant Simek, who, historically, has had trouble staying healthy? There also seems to be some question as to whether Rutta, coming off core muscle surgery in April, will be fully healthy for the start of training camp, potentially opening the door for someone else.
