- The San Jose Sharks have announced their opening night roster!
We react to the roster on this episode of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast.
But before we deep dive the San Jose Sharks’ roster, we talk about the big Quentin Musty news. (01:33)
Musty has requested a trade from the Sudbury Wolves…we speculate as to why.
And now, our thoughts about the San Jose Sharks’ opening night roster! (10:30)
We touch on pretty much every forward, first waxing poetic on Danil Gushchin busting his way onto the roster.
We talk possible No. 1 center Macklin Celebrini and what we expect from Will Smith. (32:52)
Sheng defends Luke Kunin and the Sharks’ cohort of high-compete forwards once again. (50:27)
We also touch on the forward prospects who didn’t make it this time like Ethan Cardwell and Collin Graf. (1:13:46)
On defense, we focus on Henry Thrun and Jake Walman. (1:19:10)
What about Luca Cagnoni and Jack Thompson? (1:28:47)
Finally, goaltending!
We have a sleeper pick for San Jose Sharks’ opening night starter.
What about Yaroslav Askarov? (1:43:35)
Thanks for listening!
Last season we were hunkered down in Helm's Deep, besieged by every team in the NHL. But we looked to the east at dawn of draft day and there we saw Joe Thornton, standing at the top of that hill with Macklin Celebrini and heard Grier giving a monotone speech "NOW FOR WRATH AND FOR RUIN AND THE TEAL DAWN"
Well said brotha
Guschin! That is the best news! Well deserved, he should be in top-9 line
I like him with Wennberg + Goodrow (or Kostin) on the 3rd line
@@sempcastyup! Exactly where I see him
While he should be in the top-6, I think the team is going for a hard to play against and very sound 3rd line, and Gushin doesn't really fit there. Likewise, he is probably still seen as enough of a risk to get top-6 minutes, at least while Smith and Macklin remain question marks / get their feet wet. So, honestly, 4th line minutes in sheltered roles + PP time is kind of the best spot for him. The PP allocation should still keep him up to 10+ minutes a night and give him the best chance to put his offensive talent to use.
27:30 There's a famous hockey quote. "If you're small you have to prove you can play, if you're big you have to prove you can't."
Just FYI because it helps pronunciation and it's kind of funny Halbgewächs translates to half grown which I find funny because he was on the small side. But also halb == half gewächs == grown so thinking of it as two words makes it easier to pronounce.
Thanks guys for putting out the content over the summer. I listend pretty much everthing. Here we go. Let's go sharks🦈
Thanks for watching!
best part of my week!
this is season is the break of dawn after the long night
Luke Kunin looked faster during preseason, so hopefully he can stay healthy and find good chemistry with his linemates.
From the Athletic's season preview of the Sharks, "The Sharks have three forwards - Barclay Goodrow, Nico Sturm and Luke Kunin - who carry a Net Rating under minus-10. While half the league also has one forward in that realm and several have two, the Sharks are the only team with three."
It will be interesting how Mitchkov does in Philly. How will Will Smith compare to him. I think the Sharks and orher teams blew it by not taking Mitchkov. Smith and Mitchkov are both starting in the NHL at the same time.
Michkov controlled his destiny wich was not the Sharks. Why drafting a Player that would not come to San Jose. Pretty sure thaut was the reason Grier did not Draft him.
On the other side would the Sharks like to have a Player around with that Attitude, probably not
We got a poor man's michkov in goosh!
Michkov came across as a prima dona, told teams picking high that he would not play for them
Guschin led the NHL preseason for all 32 teams. In a preseason meritocracy, he'd be picked over every Sharks player, so that's not a very helpful criteria. Guschin looked way way better than Zetterlund in preseason, for example. Zetterlund really struggled in preseason (bad passes, not skating hard/gliding, not physical, not getting chances, not driving play, slow to react defensively, etc), and nobody is talking about that. Will Smith looked better and better each preseason game, creating more chances every game, despite not having impressive line mates. He started out his college career a little bit slow and then got better and better every game, more and more comfortable, to where he dominated in the second half of the season. Same thing likely here. But, Will Smith is already better than the majority of the Sharks players. They can't send him down.
Zetterlund definitely looked sluggish and couldn’t hit the net all preseason. He led a terrible team in goals last season because he saw a ton of ice time. I’m not sure he gets the same amount of time this year if he can’t hit the net.
If Mitchkov did not want to come to San Jose then its true, why draft him. Maybe its closer to Russia to play for an East Coast team, unless he came from a village in far eastern Russia.
Nope. Not watching sheng. Bye 👋
Lmao why even click on this then… let alone leave a damn comment LOL
@@TylrVncntRight?!? 😅
@@TylrVncnt because I wanted you to know how much I don’t like sheng
If it's your first time here, welcome! Just to let you know, the podcast has been ongoing for a year and a half now with Sheng as a co-host.
I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully he’s respectful.
