(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.

Colby Cohen joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! ESPN college hockey color commentator Colby Cohen jumps on to talk all things Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith! (54:34) But first, this week in San Jose Sharks news! The Sharks signed Thomas Bordeleau to a one-year contract. Where does he fit in on the forward lines and on the power play? (03:28) The San Jose Sharks also re-signed Henry Thrun. Does the San Jose defense have too many left-handers? (13:35) Keegan talks about his impressions of San Jose Sharks prospects at the World Junior Summer Showcase, chiefly Brandon Svoboda and Quentin Musty. He's been impressed with Svoboda.

(1:30:50) If Macklin Celebrini doesn't pan out, why would that be? (1:33:30) Cohen doesn't shy away from comparing Celebrini to Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews. (1:39:40)

Sam Dickinson joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! But before we get to Sam (2:04:47), we recap a busy week in San Jose Sharks hockey, including free agency and development camp.

His childhood friendship with Beckett Sennecke and a good laugh at Sennecke's shocked reaction to being the No. 3 pick by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2024 Draft. Something fun about London Knights teammate Halttunen that nobody knows?

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.

(1:22:52)What is Macklin Celebrini's ceiling? Why is Craig so high on him? (1:23:30)Button draws parallels between Smith getting drafted a year before Celebrini…to the Pittsburgh Penguins getting Evgeni Malkin in 2004 and Sidney Crosby in 2005. Whoa! Button calls Smith a difference-maker. (1:28:40)Button compares Celebrini to Leo Carlsson and Adam Fantilli. (1:30:12)He discusses the recently-concluded U-18's. (1:32:00)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.

(2:00:37)Button shares his thoughts about Quentin Musty (2:06:55), Kasper Halttunen (2:08:55), and Luca Cagnoni. (2:11:45)Button shouts out a now under-the-radar San Jose Sharks prospect.

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.

Is Zeev Buium the best defenseman in the 2024 NHL Draft? Tony Ferrari of the Hockey News believes he can be. We dive into the University of Denver product and what makes him an intriguing prospect, questions on his height, and who Ferrari thinks that Buium can model his game after. We then examine where Buium would fit in the San Jose Sharks pipeline and if he would be a good partner for Shakir Mukhamadullin. Then, we discuss the rumors about a potential NCAA and CHL agreement that would let CHL players join the NCAA and why it makes too much sense for players like Quentin Musty in their development path.Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

It's been almost a year since the San Jose Sharks traded Timo Meier to the New Jersey Devils. Start by revisiting the trade grades from right after the trade and how Sharks fans feel much better about it a year later. Then, look at how each individual piece has performed this season and why Timo Meier may not be performing up to expectations this season in New Jersey. As well as how the Sharks' pieces have yet to hit their peaks, and if Quentin Musty turns into a star, the Sharks could be in a position of long-term sustained success. Finally, how would the roster would look if the Sharks had kept Meier, and if they would possibly contend for a playoff spot this season?

Another edition of The Prospect Reef to dive into the most recent games of three of the San Jose Sharks prospects. Start with Quentin Musty's December 30th game against the Soo Greyhounds. Although Musty didn't have his best offensive game, there were plenty of developmental opportunities in the defensive zone. Examine how Musty was put in an uncomfortable situation without Dalibor Dvorský and had to work in his own zone more but could still help create offense for his teammates. Then, Shakir Mukhamadullin's game against the Tucson Roadrunners on January 3rd and why he is close to being NHL ready. Start with his ability to create offense and how he makes life easier for his defensive partner by creating space and knowing when to utilize his large frame to help make that space. Also, discuss how he is refining the finer points of his defense with his ability to shut down the opposing team at the blue line and cover large amounts of space quickly. Finally, Luca Cagnoni's December 31st game against the Vancouver Giants displayed why the points may not be there; Cagnoni is the engine of the Winterhawks. Plus, how Cagnoni uses his size to his advantage against bigger players. Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The 2023 NHL Draft is complete, Steve Yzerman & Kris Draper have made their picks for Hockeytown, and we have a new Detroit Red Wings draft class - and with it, another MASSIVE podcast mega-episode! Tune in as we begin by recapping the 1st round of the draft (results below) (5:35), leading up to the Detroit Red Wings selecting Nate Danielson 9th overall. We discuss how he compares to Dvorsky, Moore, & others available, whether the pick fits Detroit's rebuild needs, how he slots in with Larkin & Kasper, pick reactions, & more analysis (16:40). Moving through the 1st round, we reach the Red Wings' second top pick: Axel Sandin Pellikka 17th overall. We discuss how he "replaces" Filip Hronek, addresses a positional need, how he slots in compared to Seider, Edvinsson, & other defensemen, his style of game (Letang type?), pick reactions, value, 1st round grades, & plenty more (29:30). We move on to the 2nd round, where we go over Yzerman's 3 picks (& a trade back), first, goaltender Trey Augustine out of the USNTDP (40:55), big, right-handed defenseman Andrew Gibson (47:55), and an even bigger, hard-hitting left-handed defenseman in Brady Cleveland, which leads to a passionate discussion on draft strategy, upside, & Detroit's lack of scoring talent (54:55). After that, Detroit drafts brother of Liam Dower Nilsson (2021 Red Wings pick), Noah Dower Nilsson, to start the 3rd round, adding scoring talent (1:04:55). In the 4th round, left-handed defenseman Larry Keenan (1:09:20), and in the 5th round RHD Jack Phelan (1:11:40) and intriguing German forward Kevin Bicker (1:13:20). Another "Cossa insurance" goaltender in Rudy Guimond in the 6th round (1:15:20) before wrapping up with center Emmitt Finnie in the 7th round (1:16:05). To wrap up the initial draft recap, we give our overall Red Wings/Yzerman & Draper draft grades, vibes, and general thoughts (1:17:40) - with plenty more on these players to come! Finally, we discuss the trade in which Yzerman acquired Klim Kostin & Kyler Yamamoto for "Future Considerations" from Ken Holland & the Edmonton Oilers, where both players could fit into the lineup, and if Yamamoto will even stay with the Red Wings (1:23:45). To wrap up, we discuss the Alex DeBrincat trade that never materialized on the draft floor, why Pierre Dorion hasn't pulled the trigger, other trades that never happened, free agency notes, Al Murray news, & lots more (1:31:55) before we take your question during Overtime (1:42:10) - enjoy this massive episode!
