What a Summer for the Sharks! Preseason Mailbag | E62
Episode 62
Monday, September 9, 2024 • Duration 03:10:19
It’s been an exciting summer for the San Jose Sharks!
So it’s a good time for a pre-preseason subscriber’s mailbag!
Thank you so much for subscribing! Go here if you haven’t subscribed yet!
Ken Fischer: Now that Brodie Brazil is out at NBC, who are we going to get stuck with for Pre and Post-Game? (3:16)
James R: Any recent chatter about Joe Pavelski joining the San Jose Sharks’ front office or coaching staff in some capacity? (6:15)
Rothgar: What is Shakir Mukhamadullin’s preferred nickname?
Flying Frenchman: Can you talk about the phases of a rebuild and where the Sharks are? (12:28)
Bring Back Celebrini: Since Grier has taken over, he appears to have changed over about 60 percent of the organizational depth chart. Have you seen any other NHL club go through such a dramatic change in such a short period of time, and if so, how long did it take for those clubs to climb back into contention? (20:15)
Chris Boucher: How do the Sharks get into the position where they’re contending for a playoff spot by the 2025-26 season? (33:36)
Joshua: Who do you see as a realistic target for the Sharks to pursue or what position do you see them building upon? (39:50)
SJShorky: Do you think Mike Grier makes some big purchases or acquisitions next summer?
Matt Harrison: Who are some potential free agents or trade targets that you think may be on Grier’s radar in the next 1-3 years?
Stephen Akerson: How do you each view the balance between tanking and establishing a winning culture these next few seasons? I find it tempting to keep chasing top-five picks, but obviously that has to change at some point. (55:38)
Mark Bonham: Which top prospects are most likely to be on the opening night roster? (1:06:41)
Lizbeth DeSelm: Not really a question, but a vision that is both exciting and terrifying. I can’t help but look at the Leon Draisaitl extension and looming Connor McDavid extension and feel like I am looking at issues the Sharks will be facing in eight years with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith (or William Eklund or Sam Dickinson). (1:08:45)
Meetyourmako: I was told that the San Jose Sharks’ goal horn is a foghorn taken from a decommissioned ship, I have been dying to know its provenance? Can you uncover the name of the ship that foghorn came from?
Alaskan_ice: At this point, there are quite a lot of ex-Sharks players around the organization. Some have issues with this process, I like it. Do you think it’s a good idea to bring back people that wore teal? (1:14:20)
TJ: Is there any concern that the Sharks alumni that Grier is hiring back, they never got over the hump and that may translate to the younger players they are developing? Always seemed like there was an element missing from those 2000s and 2010s teams despite all the success.
sharkzilla: Is there anything in the works to get another guest on the show like Pierre McGuire/Jimmy Murphy again (or better yet Greg Wyshynski) talking about the current state of the Sharks’ rebuild? (1:19:42)
Embrace_the_rebuild: How many more seasons would it take before Sharks get to the playoffs? Win a playoff series? (1:26:37)
Gary To: What do you think is Mukhamadullin’s biggest skill-set and what is his weakest skill that he needs to work on?
Jenna B: When should the holiday video return? Who is lowkey the funniest guy on the Sharks, staff or player? (1:36:25)
jacob b: Is this the off-season the best in San Jose Sharks history?
Steven Stoker: Is this the end of Logan Couture’s return? (1:51:18)
David Gotlieb: Who are the best mascots?
Patrick: Among the prospects, who are the potential busts? (2:00:10)
Zeke: What happened to Yaroslav Askarov in the playoffs?
Alex Genadinik: Who should the San Jose Sharks deal at the Trade Deadline? Any surprises there?
Any Askarov-like trade targets for a young defenseman? (2:07:00)
Eric Pichette: Who has the better offensive numbers this season, Eklund, Celebrini, or Smith?
Matthias893: Have there been any indications the Sharks or NBC would be interested in a more direct streaming model? (2:19:55)
Splash114: Of the veteran defensemen, who, if any, do you think will spend time with the Barracuda and/or on waivers?
George West: What are the odds of Celebrini playing 1C for most of the year? And does Will Smith have a chance at being the 2C? (2:27:35)
El Gato Joe: Why didn’t they buy out Vlasic?
Chaz Marshall: Have the San Jose Sharks hired a Russia-based scout to replace Igor Eronko? (2:35:15)
Fin Coe: What players have benefited or suffered from the Sharks’ system? How has the Luke Kunin trade aged? (2:36:48)
Daniel Almaraz: With the announcement of Celebrini and Smith living with Thornton and Marleau respectively next season, I’m curious, have there been any other Sharks vet/rookie combos that we know about over the last couple years?

Toffoli shares his memories of the 2014 and 2016 San Jose Sharks/Kings’ playoff series. (1:05:55)
Who was Toffoli’s least favorite San Jose Sharks player to play against back then and why? (1:09:05)
Toffoli compares the Kings’ rebuild and the Sharks’ current one. (1:12:35)
Toffoli has surpassed 30 goals in back-to-back years, two of his three 30-plus goal campaigns. Why has he gotten better with age? (1:14:50)
What are his thoughts about a new 70’s Line with Celebrini and Eklund? (1:15:45)
What’s the worst part about moving? (1:17:15)

Episode 51
Sunday, June 23, 2024 • Duration 02:26:44
Chris Peters joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!
Peters says people are underrating…Macklin Celebrini? He also thinks winning the Draft Lottery could well be the second-most important day in San Jose Sharks’ history. Chris also chats about other 2024 Draft targets for the Sharks and why he thinks Will Smith should’ve stayed in school.
But before we get to Peters (1:27:00), we discuss a busy off-season week for the Sharks.
What are our thoughts about the Ty Dellandrea trade? (2:14)
Could all the moves this week be a prelude to dealing Mikael Granlund or Nico Sturm at the Trade Deadline?
Sheng shares his four stages of Barclay Goodrow acceptance, from the San Jose Sharks claiming Goodrow to the revelation that the Sharks were on Goodrow’s No-Trade List. (14:56)
Regardless, Sheng makes the case for adding Goodrow. (35:32)
Finally, Keegan shares his personal top-32 2024 Draft rankings, highlighting his underrated favorites like Konsta Helenius, Jett Luchanko, and Andrew Basha. Who would Sheng and Keegan take at No. 14? (53:21)
Now, Chris Peters (1:27:00)!

Episode 50
Monday, June 17, 2024 • Duration 01:13:18
Welcome to the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! This week, we have defenseman Henry Thrun to talk all about new San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky. (56:00)
Warsofsky ran the defense last year and worked closely with all the defenders, Thrun included. Thrun shares his insights into Warsofsky’s coaching and development style, and how he thinks next year will be different than last year.
But first, Sheng and Keegan share their initial reactions to the hiring of Ryan Warsofsky and discuss some of the industry chatter about his reputation and coaching style. (02:15)
Why does Warsofsky, now the youngest coach in the NHL, make sense for a rebuilding San Jose Sharks team? (08:50)
Will they keep Brian Wiseman as a power play coach for next season? (12:00)
Who should they bring in to coach the defense? (15:05)
Why Warsofsky despite the Sharks having a terrible defense and penalty kill last season? (19:20)
Why not Marco Sturm? (22:30)
Lastly, we focus a bit on the upcoming 2024 NHL Entry draft, including adding a few more confirmed names to the Sharks’ Combine interview list. (38:00)
Now, it's time for the Henry Thrun interview! (56:00)
We start off hot: Ryan's a coach who was part of a staff that led the San Jose Sharks to just 47 points last year. What’s going to be different next season? (56:30)
How did Henry think he got better under Warsofsky? (57:32)
What makes Warsofsky a strong development coach? (1:00:45)

Welcome to the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!
We welcome San Jose Sharks' Director of Player Development Todd Marchant back to the show for our 50th episode! Todd was our very first guest on the new San Jose Hockey Now Podcast, and we celebrate our 50th episode by getting his thoughts on tons of Sharks prospects, from Quentin Musty to Alex Young. (57:13)
But first! It was the NHL Scouting Combine this week and Sheng was on the ground in Buffalo. He shares loads of buzz, rumors and some confirmed prospect interviews. He added a new name to his list from yesterday. (3:25)
We cover whether we think Macklin Celebrini is actually going to return to the NCAA or sign with the Sharks, after multiple interviews have come out that Macklin is undecided at this point. (16:00)
We have some coaching search updates, including some rumored finalists to share. Also, did the San Jose Sharks ever reach out to David Carle or Joel Ward? (25:05)
Are the Sharks going to be active in free agency this summer? Jeff Marek floated the possibility of Jake Guentzel as a FA target, and we give our thoughts on that possibility. Also, will Eetu Makinemi be back? (33:25)
Our last topic is the retirement of Joe Pavelski. We share some of our thoughts about his tremendous career, and whether he has enough of a resume for the Hall of Fame. (42:50)
And now it's time for Todd Marchant! (57:13)
We decided to go through the San Jose Sharks system, from the 2023 Draft to the 2020 with Todd, discussing some well-known and lots of lesser-known prospects as well, focusing on mostly non-Barracuda prospects.

San Jose Hockey Now Podcast #49: Smith Signs! His Agent Takes Us Inside Decision To Sign With Sharks
Episode 48
Thursday, May 30, 2024 • Duration
Will Smith’s agent, Sean Coffey, joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!
Coffey takes us behind the scenes of Smith signing with the San Jose Sharks this past week.
But before we get to Coffey (44:15), we talk about what Smith’s arrival means for the Sharks.
We’ll talk more to Coffey about this -- he wasn’t one of Sheng’s sources!! -- but Sheng got wind of Smith signing last Friday. (1:50)
What was our initial reaction to the news? (4:20)
Would it make sense for the San Jose Sharks to send Smith to the AHL? Would the Sharks try to “slide” his contract? How does Smith compare to William Eklund at about the same age? (15:05)
Comparing Macklin Celebrini-Smith to Sidney Crosby-Evgeni Malkin and Jonathan Toews-Patrick Kane? Why start the clock on Celebrini and Smith’s contracts at the same time? (24:00)
Where does Smith slot positionally, center or wing, in his rookie year? It is more common than Sheng thought to go through a season with two rookie centers in the line-up. (27:20)
Sheng shares a conversation that he had with a league source about the lumps that Smith will likely face in his rookie year, his struggles at the World Championships, and what Smith has to learn about winning NHL hockey. (36:35)
Sheng and Keegan predict how many points that Smith will put up next year. (40:23)

Episode 47
Saturday, May 25, 2024 • Duration
Craig Button joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast this week!
The TSN draft guru thinks Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith might make a Crosby-Malkin like impact on the San Jose Sharks, who he’d consider for San Jose at No. 14, and an underrated Sharks prospect that he really likes. (1:22:52)
But before we get to Craig, Keegan and I talk about the San Jose Sharks coaching search. (2:18)
Then, we chat about four positions that the Sharks should target this off-season if they want to be more competitive, and discuss J.G. Pageau, Dakota Joshua, Dylan DeMelo, and Sean Walker as realistic possibilities. Sheng also suggests a couple more intriguing names in this middle class of the free agency market. (15:49)
We discuss the San Jose Sharks signing Luca Cagnoni. Are Sharks fans perhaps overrating Cagnoni? And is he better suited to start next season in the AHL or go back to the WHL? (44:24)
Have Sheng or Keegan changed their minds about whether Will Smith will sign with the San Jose Sharks for next year? (1:10:18)
Finally, before we interview Craig Button, we discuss his recent, perhaps controversial top-64 list (1:12:22) on TSN. By the way, we talked with Craig before he released these rankings:
What is Macklin Celebrini’s ceiling? Why is Craig so high on him? (1:23:30)

What can Will Smith learn by leaving the NCAA and breaking away from his long-time linemates? (18:45)
Sheng talks about an interesting dynamic that could form if both Celebrini and Smith leave college at the same time. (22:30)
We transition to the playoffs of Kasper Halttunen and Luca Cagnoni. Halttunen had 17 goals in 18 playoff games, leading the London Knights in goals in the postseason. (30:35)
The ultimate speculation: Leon Draisaitl to the San Jose Sharks in 2025? (35:00)
What do Sheng and Keegan think about moving up from the No. 14 pick to take a defenseman in the 2024 NHL Draft? (42:20)

San Jose Hockey Now Podcast #45: Our Too Early Sharks' Off-Season Plan
Episode 44
Sunday, May 5, 2024 • Duration
Here's our too-early San Jose Sharks' off-season plan!
***Quick aside, Keegan's microphone is muffled a bit this episode. We're sorry, everyone! One day, we'll have pristine audio every single time. But not this day. This is kind of like those workplace accident signs where they knock off 100 days since the last accident and replace it with zero. Again. Sigh.***
This week, Sheng and Keegan outline some potential off-season moves that could help make the 2024-2025 version of the Sharks be less embarrassing than this year's. (53:45)
But before all that, we have a few quick-hitting topics this week (1:15).
We start with Will Smith watch: Is he signing or not? (2:30)
Sheng and Keegan preview the upcoming May 7th Draft Lottery odds and each run a simulation at Tankathon. Do the Sharks win? (6:10)
We highlight what Sheng has heard about some potential candidates for Sharks head coach. (13:15)
John McCarthy and the rest of the San Jose Barracuda coaching staff will be returning next season, despite some poor on-ice results. Why do Sheng and Keegan support their return? (29:30)
The Sharks want goaltending coach Thomas Speer back, even after David Quinn was let go. (37:21)
Finally, we revisit our pre-season bold predictions...how did Sheng and Keegan do? (42:20)
Finally, our off-season plan! Which of their free agents should the Sharks keep or let go? Who should they target in the free agency market? Can they make a good trade? (53:45)
How much cap and roster space could the San Jose Sharks have? (54:45)
Which of the Sharks’ UFAs and RFAs will they keep? Who should they allow to walk? (57:45)
What’s the order of positional need for San Jose this summer? (1:14:33)
In his most recent mock draft, Peters picked defenseman Stian Solberg for the Sharks at No. 14. We also discuss other options there like Cole Eiserman and Adam Jiricek. How did Solberg and Eiserman interview at the Combine? What if Konsta Helenius or Carter Yakemchuk drop? (1:39:31)
Peters also picked defenseman Adam Kleber at No. 33 and winger Matvei Gridin at No. 42 for the Sharks, why? Who else looks like a Mike Grier-type in the second round? (1:52:02)
Sheng asks Peters about two prospects who he’s been hearing that the San Jose Sharks are sniffing around on, center Dean Letourneau and defenseman Gabriel Eliasson. Peters says one of these prospects was described to him, light-heartedly, as “evil”. (2:02:01)
Peters also shares his thoughts about possible Sharks-type prospects after the second round, along with the goalies in this draft class. (2:05:26)
Finally, Peters opines on why Will Smith wasn’t a Hobey Baker Hat Trick Finalist, and why he thinks Smith should’ve stayed in school another year. (2:11:48)

When did Smith actually decide to sign with the Sharks? How many meetings did Smith have with Mike Grier or Todd Marchant or the Sharks throughout the season? (51:55)

Coffey reveals when exactly Smith made his decision to come out. (58:10)
Between Boston College and the San Jose Sharks, how close of a decision was it for Smith? (1:00:10)
For Coffey, from a development standpoint, why did it make sense for Smith to go pro?
Coffey confirms that the San Jose Sharks winning the Draft Lottery and getting presumptive No. 1 pick Macklin Celebrini had nothing to do with Smith’s decision -- but regardless, it’s great for fellow teenagers Celebrini and Smith to start out together. (1:02:40)
Coffey talks about the potential (or lack thereof) of Smith going to the AHL or the Sharks trying to “slide” his contract. (1:05:15)
Did the Cutter Gauthier situation change the paradigm of how NHL teams treat their top NCAA prospects? (1:09:00)
Coffey explains, even though Smith decided in early May, why Smith held off on the announcement that he was coming out until this past week. (1:13:00)
Was it a challenge to keep Smith’s decision a secret? Sean also talks about keeping Sheng’s texts on “Read” when Sheng was looking for confirmation.
Sheng shares his process from getting wind of the Smith signing on Friday to publishing a story on it on Sunday, two days before it was officially announced. (1:17:40)
Why was Tuesday the day that the Sharks announced Smith’s signing? (1:19:45)

Who could the San Jose Sharks pick at No. 14?
Button gives his thoughts about Trevor Connelly (1:36:35), Tij Iginla, Terik Parascak (1:42:25), Adam Jiricek (1:51:19), EJ Emery (1:54:10), Stian Solberg (1:54:47), Charlie Elick (1:55:10), and Dominik Badinka.
Button doesn’t see a big difference between Anton Silayev and Emery!
Button discusses the goaltending in the 2024 Draft. There’s only one goalie that he’d considered in the second round.(1:56:10)

Does Nico think that Quinn lost the locker room? (1:08:00)

Was there a way that this 2023-24 San Jose Sharks team could’ve realistically been better last year? How much better? (1:12:40)
Sturm has also played for former Minnesota Wild coach Dean Evason. He's a potential coaching hire for the Sharks, what does Nico remember from his time with him? (1:15:15)
Nico Sturm hasn't played for Marco Sturm, but Marco's name is making the rounds as a coaching candidate for the San Jose Sharks, what does Nico think about his fellow German countryman? (1:19:00)
