Some of the San Jose Sharks' most recent draft picks might be assigned back to their junior hockey teams this week but they've already left a positive impression on coach David Quinn. The Sharks started camp last Thursday with 64 players split into three groups and on Monday, are expected to trim that down to a more manageable number that can fit into two groups. Among those cuts could be forwards Quentin Musty and Kasper Halttunen and defensemen Luca Cagnoni, who were all part of the Sharks' 2023 draft class in June. Musty and Halttunen are property of Sudbury and London of the Ontario Hockey League, respectively, and Cagnoni plays with Portland of the Western Hockey League.
In a recent bombshell revelation on the Mitts Off Podcast, former Edmonton Oilers defenseman Tyson Barrie pulled back the curtain on a potential blockbuster trade that never came to fruition. Barrie disclosed that he was the pawn in the Oilers' bid to acquire San Jose Sharks' superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson, shedding light on a behind-the-scenes saga that left fans and analysts speculating. It's an interesting confirmation that makes you wonder just how close the Oilers got and had they been able to make the trade, how different things would have been.
The Sharks have a lot to figure out as they open training camp ahead of the 2023-24 NHL season.
