We say goodbye to a special San Jose Sharks season! But before that, Sharks legend Dan Boyle remembers the time that he walked Brent Burns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV3AWKsTK7U Also, Zubair shares a great “hockey” movie that he watched recently. So where did Sheng vote Macklin Celebrini for the Hart Trophy? GM Mike Grier, in his exit interview, gave a spirited case. Will Celebrini be the next captain of the San Jose Sharks? Recent history gives a good idea of what Celebrini's extension should look like. What did Dan think of Luca Cagnoni's recent NHL call-up? Would you trade Michael Misa for Zach Werenski? Dan and Keegan have a perhaps surprising answer. We discuss what the San Jose Sharks blueline might look like next year. What about head coach Ryan Warsofsky? What did we think about his performance this season? What does Dan think of Eric Pohlkamp? We get into a thoughtful conversation about Shakir Mukhamadullin: What will it take to get him to the next level? Finally, we each give thanks for all your support this season!

The San Jose Sharks' playoff hopes are on life support! So it's time for an emergency subscriber mailbag! Let's get to it! Knewbs3: Why trade William Eklund instead of prospects like Quentin Musty and Filip Bystedt? Flying Frenchman: Is management happy with Ryan Warsofsky's performance? Ohheytravis: Is Warsofsky on the hot seat? Tim Graveline: If the San Jose Sharks win the Draft lottery, should they take a BPA forward like Gavin McKenna or trade back for a defenseman prospect? For Zubair, what's a song or maybe an album that best represents this sharks season? What song/album would you hope would represent the sharks next season? Zeke: Which San Jose Barracuda forwards have a legit shot at a playing role in the NHL? Rphillips: Is our organization's ability to develop defensemen a concern? (22:39) Bob Horenstein: What does the defense look like next year? Which UFA's do the Sharks bring back? Dave: Following how patient the Colorado Avalanche were in building a Stanley Cup winner, shouldn't we allow GM Mike Grier that kind of rope? Dylan Smallwood: Does Alex Tuch fit the San Jose Sharks? Would you give him a maximum contract? What player type do the Sharks need next year? Do you see Michael Misa or Sam Dickinson starting next season in the AHL? (40:23) Stephanie K: How much did Doug Wilson Jr.'s drafting hurt the San Jose Sharks' current team? Downriver: What skills do Shakir Mukhamadullin, Dickinson, and Luca Cagnoni need to develop if they're going to be regulars at the NHL level? Do you see Pohlkamp as NHL-ready for a contending team? Finny Damphousse: What are you all sipping on? Alcohol or non-alcoholic. Giant Shark Tooth Necklace: Is there a specific player you would have liked to have seen the Sharks trade for at the Deadline to help with the playoff push? If so, what would your “take or leave it” trade offer have been for that player, if there was a bidding war? Or do you think Grier made the right call to wait until the off-season to make any major moves? James R: For Keegan, realizing there is no Matthew Schaefer in this Draft, are there a defenseman in this year's class that could reasonably step into an NHL lineup next season and be a legit everyday player? (56:33) How comfortable do you feel running back the same goaltending tandem next season? Yetis: The organization has a glut of forwards both on the NHL roster and in the AHL in Musty, Bystedt, and Kasper Halttunen. Who is most likely to go? Rob S: Does Mukhamadullin want to return to the Sharks? Can Mario Ferraro develop his puck-moving beyond what it is now? Sven_: Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized Dan Boyles or 1 Dan Boyle-sized duck? James Murphy: Shouldn't the Sharks have called up Luca Cagnoni earlier to run the power play? Spon: Are the Sharks pushing Dickinson (and possibly Pohlkamp when he arrives) too hard and too soon? Megabite: Any chance Nedeljkovic is not going to return?  BiscuitBoy: Is Yaroslav Askarov's glove hand fixable? Will Will Smith learn to be stronger with the puck? Stefan Schwartz: What do you think about the D by committee route for the Sharks, since true No. 1 D are hard to come by? Which middle-pairing defensemen would fit the Sharks? FaultySynapse: What will the San Jose Sharks' depth chart look like if they pull the trigger on a No. 1 defenseman in a trade? (1:14:25) Just Steve: How do you think the Sharks have handled Mukhamadullin and other prospects? Michael K.: What are the Sharks' options on defense next year if Pohlkamp or Cagnoni aren't ready? And they strike out on defense? Cole Seavey: Should the Sharks be in the chase for Auston Matthews? Jigglz: Do you ever see yourselves doing a live, in-person recording of the Pod with an audience? (1:27:36) Sarge: The Sharks have the No. 9 pick of the 2026 Draft. The top-4 defensemen are gone, leaving Daxon Rudolph on the board. Should San Jose take Rudolph or a forward like Oscar Hemming? How angry will Sharks fans be if they pick the non-defenseman? NotAlexKorolyuk: Which stars would you like to see on the Sharks over the next three years, be the most fun? Ken Meehan: What three moves should the Sharks make this summer to “guarantee” a playoff spot next year? Bellizar: If the Sharks pick Albert Smits, is he NHL-ready, and what does a Smits and Dickinson-led defense need around them? Kyle Johnson: As a non-season ticket holder, how do you go about getting prospects scrimmage tickets? I want to get them before they sell out. Chris Geer: If the Sharks don't win the Lottery, should they package a good prospect like a Bystedt etc. with their pick to go up higher in the Draft? Radioheadliner (the other James R.): What would Kevin Woodley or Thomas Speer say about Askarov's ability to stop shots up high or track the puck through screens? Keegan, didn't you tweet way back when that you were worried about his hands? Fin Coe: If Warsofsky keeps his job, are there any Assistant Coaches that could be in the hot seat? Keegan, will you be repping your Sharks fandom at your wedding? Sheng, are there any colleagues of yours whose work you think we should follow? Zubair, what sticks do you rock? Joe E: What's going on with the San Jose Barracuda? They're on a nine-game losing streak. Also, do we trust them to get the most out of Pohlkamp or Leo Sahlin Wallenius? Ricky LaFleur: In Mike Grier's opening presser, his mission statement was that we were going to be hard, heavy, and difficult to play against—basically the complete antithesis of what we are. Why do you think he's deviated from his original blueprint? Gary To: For top power play quarterback next year, would you prefer a youngster like Dickinson or Cagnoni to QB the PP or should they re-explore the five-forward PP? Or acquire a bridge PP1 QB?  Kevin: Do we see the Sharks emptying the war chest for one star difference-maker on defense or multiple solid d-men? What will a Michael Kesselring cost? Jon Swenson: Could the San Jose Sharks ask Tyler Toffoli to waive his NTC this off-season? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

What did we think of what Mike Grier did (or didn't do) at the Trade Deadline? All of us -- San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, and prospects guru Keegan McNally -- actually like how Grier approached March's silly season! There are two reasons why keeping pending UFAs like Mario Ferraro and company was a good idea: Boyle discusses the value of playing meaningful games for a young team. That includes, a short trip to the playoffs. Why aren't the San Jose Sharks calling up Luca Cagnoni? What was up with that left field Sergei Bobrovsky rumor? Finally, our thoughts on the William Eklund-for-Simon Nemec rumor: Was it realistic? What's Nemec's ceiling? Could Grier be holding on to Eklund for a bigger move? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The San Jose Barracuda (2-3-0-0) bounced back on Saturday night, edging the Milwaukee Admirals (2-1-1-0) 3-2 at Tech CU Arena to split the weekend series. In the win, defenseman Luca Cagnoni tallied a goal and an assist, and forward Egor Afanasyev collected a pair of helpers, his first two points as a member of the Barracuda.

We are back! A good showing by San Jose with all around strong efforts from the likes of Cam Lund, Quinten Musty, Luca Cagnoni, Kasper Halttunen, Filip Bystedt, Colin Graf, each had a two point night. First round picks Michael Misa and Joshua Ravensburgen had great games wearing a pro jersey for the first time. Puckguy, Ian, Jules, and Tyler discussed what they liked in a 6-3 Sharks victory over the Ducks to begin the 2025 Golden State Rookie Faceoff.

But before we get to Joe Will (53:15), we talk about this week in San Jose Sharks news! Igor Chernyshov signs with the San Jose Sharks! He's also playing for the Saginaw Spirit.

(2:28) The San Jose Sharks impressed at World Junior Summer Showcase! Keegan talked about what he saw from prospects who impressed like Brandon Svoboda and Leo Sahlin Wallenius and Sam Dickinson, Quentin Musty being just okay, and Carson Wetsch and Axel Landen.

(55:00) Could the Barracuda add one more high-end veteran before camp? Will says yes, and reveals the positional fit. How about the goaltending? Fans have been expecting a more veteran goalie to be added to the Barracuda…Will says that the San Jose Sharks organization, if anything, is looking for an older, more experienced prospect for that role. (57:17) Could the San Jose Sharks find their No. 3 goalie in waivers?  Will discusses stories that have circulated that some of the recent Cuda veterans and their wives haven't been happy in San Jose. In his view, has player treatment been a problem in San Jose in recent years? (1:02:20) Will suggests another reason why veterans might be unhappy.

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?

Less than a week after the San Jose Sharks blew a game to the Chicago Blackhawks, they did it again. This time, they surrendered a four-goal lead to the Hawks and eventually lost 5-4 in overtime. Start with where this leaves the Sharks in their pursuit of the number one pick in the NHL Draft with 12 games to play. Then, some of the positives in the game include Fabian Zetterlund notching his 20th goal of the season, Thomas Bordeleau's continued ascension and Devin Cooley giving a reason why he should stick around. Next, analyze how the Sharks gave up a four-goal lead thanks in part to the offense going to sleep in the second period and their inability to create sustained pressure, and where William Eklund should slot in.  Finally, Sharks prospects Will Smith, Quentin Musty, and Luca Cagnoni had excellent weekends, proving that the future is indeed bright for the Sharks. Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
