After missing the playoffs for a third straight season for the first time in franchise history, the San Jose Sharks head into the offseason facing a series of significant questions.
The Sharks are searching for a full-time general manager after Doug Wilson stepped down for medical reasons, must decide on the future of coach Bob Boughner and must find the pieces to get one of the NHL’s top teams from 2004-19 back into contention after a 32-37-13 season that left them in 12th place in the Western Conference.“We did a step in the right direction this year,” forward Timo Meier said. “It needs a couple more steps and it needs some more things to happen to start winning again.
The Sharks managed to stay in contention until late January but fell off following the All-Star break and won just 10 of their final 39 games.Wilson took a leave of absence in November for an undisclosed medical issue and then announced in April that he was stepping down for good. Assistant GM Joe Will is running the team while a search for a full-time replacement goes ahead.
