Podcast appearances and mentions of shakir mukhamadullin

Dustin Nielson and YouTube Trev team up to tackle a massive, fast-moving Monday morning hockey board. Stan Bowman and the front office didn't let the weekend slow them down, continuing to piece together the post-Darnell Nurse era with a flurry of backend contracts.   On Today's Show: The Position Strength Pyramid: We all know the center position—anchored by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl—is the crown jewel and the absolute number one strength of this Edmonton Oilers roster. But how does the rest of the lineup shake out from top to bottom? Dusty and Trev go through the positions to assess the team's structural depth. What is the definitive second-best position group on this squad? Where do the wingers land, and are the newly reshaped blueline and the three-goalie rotation floating down near the bottom of the pyramid? The Sunday Backend Signings: Roster puzzle pieces are falling into place! The boys break down yesterday's official announcements as the Oilers locked down two key restricted free agents on the blueline. Newly acquired 24-year-old Shakir Mukhamadullin—the massive 6'4" prize of the Nurse trade—secured a two-year bridge deal at a very manageable $1.75M AAV. Right alongside him, 26-year-old defenseman Spencer Stastney locked in a one-year extension at $1.525M. The guys debate the depth chart, the waiver variables, and who has the early inside track to stick on the opening-night roster. Weaponizing the Remaining Cash: With Mukhamadullin and Stastney officially on the books, PuckPedia shows the Oilers still holding roughly $5 million in clear, usable cap space. The burning question remains: What should Stan Bowman do with the rest of the wallet? Do they immediately lock onto the remaining top-six forward market, or do they hold onto the flexibility to create a massive trade deadline war chest?   The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!

The Edmonton Oilers continue to stay busy this offseason, and Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin are back with another packed edition of Oilersnation Everyday.The boys kick off the show by breaking down the Oilers' latest pair of contract extensions, as both Shakir Mukhamadullin and Spencer Stastney are officially back with the organization. Tyler and Liam will discuss what each player brings to the table, whether either has a legitimate shot at cracking the Opening Night lineup, and how these deals fit into Stan Bowman's vision for Edmonton's roster moving forward.The conversation then shifts around the NHL, where the offer sheet season has officially arrived. The boys will discuss the Leo Carlsson offer sheet, the fallout from one of the biggest stories of the offseason, and the growing rumours that more offer sheets could be on the way. Which teams could be the next to get aggressive, and could another blockbuster be just around the corner?Later in the show, former NHL forward Landon Ferraro joins the program to share his thoughts on everything the Oilers have accomplished since July 1st. From the flurry of signings and trades to the team's new-look roster, Landon will give his perspective on Stan Bowman's offseason and discuss whether Edmonton still has one more significant move left before training camp begins.To wrap things up, Liam returns with another edition of Liam's Board before the boys hand out their favourite daily betting plays courtesy of bet365.

Good morning, Nasties! Welcome inside a brand new, highly volatile Monday morning edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live on Edmonton Sports Talk. We hope you had an incredible weekend, because the sports world absolutely refused to take a couple of days off.   Dusty and the fellas are back behind the desk to unpack a weekend of heavy local heartbreak and a massive, history-making hockey bombshell that rocked the NHL foundation on Friday afternoon.   We start off by catching up everyone's weekends, then diving right into Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap the major headlines from the weekend.   After the break, we got into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. The boys got into some Oilers talk as they were busy signing both Shakir Mukhamadullin and Stastney over the weekend. We then got into a ranking… who are the best defenseman from 1-8?   We finish hour one like we always do on a Monday's show, with our good, bad and ugly from the weekend.

YouTube Trev is locking arms with former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage for a full hour of unadulterated, raw hockey talk to sift through the volcanic ash of yesterday's open market madness.   On Today's Show: Canada Day Post-Mortem: Before the boys open up the hockey notebooks, they look back at a beautiful July 1st holiday. Trev and Gager recap how they spent their Canada Days around town, and swap a few quick stories from the backyard barbecues. The Stan Bowman Roster Overhaul: The Oilers didn't just participate in Free Agent Frenzy—they completely controlled the news cycle. The fellas dedicate a massive chunk of today's broadcast to analyzing an unbelievable string of transactions. We break down the historic departure of Darnell Nurse to San Jose, the blue line additions of Shakir Mukhamadullin, Zack Sharp, and Ryan Shea, and internal extensions for Kasperi Kapanen and Max Jones. The New Look Crease: As a former netminder, Gager gets right into the tape of Edmonton's brand-new goaltending structure. Stan Bowman executed a complete paradigm shift by trading for Devon Levi from Buffalo and signing freshly minted Stanley Cup champion Frederik Andersen to a one-year deal. The boys evaluate how this new look impacts the returning Tristan Jarry and what the vision is for the net going forward. Grading the Blueprint: It's report card time. Trev and Gager stack up all the additions, calculate the massive cap space saved by moving Nurse's contract without retaining a single dollar, and issue their definitive, official grades for Stan Bowman's first major free-agency floor plan. League-Wide Fallout: Once local business is settled, the guys pull out the macro-lens to trace the heavy cash spent across the rest of the league. From Toronto landing Sergei Bobrovsky to John Carlson heading to Tampa Bay and ex-Oilers like Stuart Skinner hitting the market!   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

The San Jose Sharks Announced on Wednesday the acquisition of defenseman Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin and prospect forward Zack Sharp.

The Edmonton Oilers had one of the busiest—and perhaps most impressive—days of any team in the NHL on July 1st, and Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin are here to break it all down on today's edition of Oilersnation Everyday.The boys kick things off by diving into the blockbuster trade that sent Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for promising young defenceman Shakir Mukhamadullin. Perhaps even more impressive, Stan Bowman was able to move the entire contract without retaining any salary. Tyler and Liam will break down the trade from every angle, discuss what Mukhamadullin brings to the Oilers, and debate whether this could end up being one of the biggest moves of Bowman's tenure.But the work didn't stop there.Bowman stayed busy throughout free agency by signing veteran defenceman Ryan Shea, bringing back Kasperi Kapanen, adding experienced goaltender Frederik Andersen, veteran fan favourite Max Jones, and acquiring young netminder Devon Levi from the Buffalo Sabres. Despite all of the activity, the Oilers still managed to maintain valuable cap flexibility heading into the rest of the offseason. The boys will evaluate each move and discuss how Edmonton's roster stacks up after an incredibly active opening day of free agency.Later in the show, DJ Bean from What Chaos! joins the program to give his thoughts on the Oilers' offseason makeover, Stan Bowman's aggressive approach, and whether Edmonton may have been one of the biggest winners of July 1st across the entire NHL.

The San Jose Sharks' playoff hopes are on life support! So it's time for an emergency subscriber mailbag! Let's get to it!

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?

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?

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?

(1:27:36) 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.

Breaking down the Sabres' 14 years in the wilderness, the first stage out of the playoffs was the last stages of an older, formerly winning team…the second stage was the Eichel era…the third era of the rebuild was post-Eichel and Reinhart, the Kevyn Adams era. How does Bill see the San Jose Sharks' rebuild coming along? (1:17:30) Speaking of the Sabres today, what's going on with defenseman Bo Byram? Why did Buffalo put him on the trade block?

Bill thinks Mike Grier is the man for the Sharks' job…if they stick with him.

We also cover the fallout of all the money Mike moves made before the NHL trade deadline, how a San Jose Giants extension impacts the Sharks franchise, jersey takes misinterpreted, Fanatics hooks up with Ticketmaster, and drawing parallels between the Sharks and Blackhawks dynasty. Meanwhile, the Barracuda continue to hang around. Flipping Macklin Celebrini and Alex Wennberg pays off for Warsofsky in 3-2 OT win over Maple Leafs Eklund, Celebrini, and Smith all score in the 3rd during 6-2 rout over Buffalo Makar and MacKinnon combine for 4 goals and 11 points in 7-3 trouncing vs Colorado Islanders outshot 17-1 in first 10 minutes, win 4-2 in San Jose NHL Trade Deadline Fallout - Money Mike Makes Moves Stock Up, Stock Down A Giant extension, but not for SAP Center Calder watch… the Celebrini/Hutson debate continues Around the NHL: Fanatics partners with Ticketmaster, Audacy announces sports radio layoffs Barracuda update: can Askarov lead the way? and more… Teal Town USA - A San Jose Sharks post-game podcast, for fans, by fans!

Who's leading the Calder Trophy race? Colby Cohen of ESPN and Daily Faceoff's Morning Cuppa Podcast talks about the case for Macklin Celebrini or Lane Hutson. (1:49:57) But before we get to Colby, we chat about the state of the San Jose Sharks at the 4 Nations break. Why do Sharks fans need to prepare for some pain (read more 8-3 losses) for the rest of the season? What's one of the big differences between say, the .500 Anaheim Ducks and the Sharks? How much swagger can good goaltending give you? What have we seen recently from Andrew Poturalski, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Collin Graf? (29:08) How are Keegan and Sheng feeling about whether the San Jose Sharks will deal Trade Deadline candidates Nico Sturm, Jan Rutta, Luke Kunin, Mario Ferraro, Alexandar Georgiev, and Vitek Vanecek? (55:01) We also address the Noah Dobson trade rumors. Igor Chernyshov, coming off shoulder surgery is off to a torrid start with the Saginaw Spirit with eight goals and six assists in just five games. What has Keegan seen from the San Jose Sharks' 2024 second-round pick? (1:24:05) And now, Colby Cohen! (1:49:57) What are Cohen's thoughts about Celebrini losing a bet to Will Smith and wearing a Boston College jersey? A couple weeks ago, Colby had Lane Hutson leading the Calder Trophy race, does he still think that? What are Hutson and Celebrini's cases for the Calder? (1:53:50) Smith has had an up-and-down rookie campaign, how does Colby see it? Also, Cohen sees the Celebrini vs. Connor Bedard the same way that he did in the summer! (02:14:00)

The San Jose Barracuda (23-13-2-2) matched a season-high with four third-period goals, running past the Henderson Silver Knights (14-27-2-0) on Friday night at Tech CU Arena. In the win, Shakir Mukhamadullin finished with a game-high three assists, and Collin Graf (3+8=11) and Andrew Poturalski (3+6=9) extended their point streaks to six and five games respectively. Luca Cagnoni also sniped in his 11th goal of the year and seventh on the power play.

Steven Ellis of The Daily Faceoff joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! Steven previews the World Junior Championships, and discusses the San Jose Sharks prospects who have made it...and some who didn't. (1:03:46) But before we get to Steven, let's talk about the San Jose Sharks' week that was! William Eklund and Jake Walman are dealing with injuries…is there a concern? Yaroslav Askarov is here, because of Vitek Vanecek's injury. San Jose Hockey Now has learned that the San Jose Sharks and Fabian Zetterlund have begun contract talks. (19:01) The Sharks took on Mackenzie Blackwood last week…why might he be a good match for the Colorado Avalanche and their style of play? We also discuss Shakir Mukhamadullin's recent stretch of play, Luke Kunin hitting double-digit goals, and more. (34:03) What do we want the San Jose Sharks to get for Christmas? (56:10) Now, Steven Ellis talks Sharks prospects and World Juniors! (1:03:46) USA: Thoughts on Quentin Musty's season? What's Brandon Svoboda's fit on the US roster? Is James Hagens the clear No. 1 of the 2025 Draft? (1:05:28) Canada: Sam Dickinson is having a big season, but how will his game translate to the NHL? Is Matthew Schaefer the clear-cut top defenseman of the 2025 Draft? (1:20:04) Sweden: How good is Victor Eklund, William's brother? (1:28:32) Finland: How's Kasper Halttunen's campaign going, from San Jose to London? (1:33:30) Christian Kirsch talk! Any non-WJC San Jose Sharks prospects catch Steven's eye? Finally: Connor Bedard or Macklin Celebrini? (1:42:55)

The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast has had a week to sit on the Mackenzie Blackwood trade…and we still think it was a great trade for the San Jose Sharks! (1:03:36) But before we review why the trade was a great value, Keegan and Sheng discuss our recent impressions of the Sharks. How good is Macklin Celebrini? (01:55) Our thoughts on Shakir Mukhamadullin back in the NHL and more. (23:05) Keegan and Sheng aren't on the same page with how the San Jose Sharks should've responded to Kevin Stenlund boarding Celebrini. (45:47) Let's talk about the Blackwood trade! (1:03:36) Sheng shares the behind the scenes from finding out about the trade in real time in Florida. (1:04:37) Why, when we're judging the trade, it doesn't matter that Blackwood was originally acquired for just a sixth. (01:22:30) Sheng's conclusion: Based on past goalie-centered trades, just a second-rounder would've been good value for Blackwood…but to get Nikolai Kovalenko on top of that? (01:25:00) Research into the past decade of goalie-centered trades suggests that you're only getting a first or second for either a perceived “elite” goalie or a starter-in-waiting prospect type.  At the moment, Blackwood is neither. NHL scouts share more thoughts about what the San Jose Sharks have got in Kovalenko. They also compare Kovalenko to Fabian Zetterlund. (01:36:58) Finally, we close with some thoughts about Alexandar Georgiev. (01:54:50)

Should the San Jose Sharks have traded for David Jiricek? (1:23:35) Keegan and Sheng talk about it on this week's episode of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! But before we talk Jiricek, we chat about the latest San Jose Sharks' news and their recent inspired play. What did we think of Joe Thornton's jersey retirement? (04:45) We talk about Sharks prospects who were invited to their World Junior selection camps like Sam Dickinson and Brandon Svoboda -- and about prospects who aren't going to World Juniors like Will Smith and Quentin Musty. (09:40) Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks have been playing some good hockey. (25:33) We discuss Rookie of the Month and NHL 1st Star of the Week Macklin Celebrini, and what Sheng was worried that Will Smith was going to lose (but didn't). Keegan runs a lap for Fabian Zetterlund around Timo Meier, and praises William Eklund. We credit GM Mike Grier for his veteran additions like Alex Wennberg, Jake Walman, and Timothy Liljegren. Obligatory Luke Kunin reference. (57:51) Keegan doesn't think that Grier will trade Mackenzie Blackwood. (1:19:05) Finally, let's talk David Jiricek! (1:23:35) Before Jiricek got traded to the Minnesota Wild, Sheng talked with a lot of his sources about Jiricek. What does the rest of the league think of Daemon Hunt and Jiricek? Does Jiricek project as a top-pairing or top-four blueliner? What's the San Jose Sharks' best equivalent to the Wild's 2025 first-rounder…William Eklund, Shakir Mukhamadullin, or Musty?…and would Sheng or Keegan have parted with any of these assets for Jiricek? (1:38:06) Which prospect would you rather have in your system, Jiricek or Yaroslav Askarov? Thanks for watching and subscribing to the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!

The San Jose Barracuda (11-6-0-0) squandered a 3-0 lead on Friday at Tech CU Arena, before scoring a pair of goals in the last five minutes to upend the Abbotsford Canucks (10-9-0-1), 5-3. With the win, the Barracuda now boast the Pacific Division's best home record at 7-2. Captain Jimmy Schuldt finished the game with a career-best three assists and Lucas Vanroboys notched his first two-goal game. Filip Bystedt (1+1=2), Scott Sabourin (1+1=2), Justin Bailey (1+1=2), and Shakir Mukhamadullin (0+2=2) also finished with multiple points.

Who are our San Jose Sharks' preseason top-10 prospects? (53:20) That's our discussion on this week's San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! But before we get to that, we touch on some of the big news from the first week of San Jose Sharks training camp. What's the latest on Shakir Mukhamadullin, Yaroslav Askarov, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic's injuries? (2:37) What's going on with some of the major training camp battles? (5:28) And now, our top-10 San Jose Sharks prospects! Keegan and Sheng have separate lists. Let's chat about, in no particular order, our honorable mentions. (15:54) Thomas Bordeleau (16:11) Leo Sahlin Wallenius Ethan Cardwell (23:30) Cam Lund (27:24) Eric Pohlkamp Brandon Svoboda (31:00) Mattias Havelid Collin Graf (35:44) Jake Furlong (38:35) Jack Thompson (43:31) Kasper Halttunen (50:39) Danil Gushchin (53:20) At No. 10, Keegan has Gushchin. Sheng has Luca Cagnoni. (1:07:43) At No. 9, Keegan has Filip Bystedt. (1:12:50) Sheng has Igor Chernyshov. (1:15:40) At No. 8, Keegan has Cagnoni. (1:18:23) Sheng has Halttunen. (1:24:08) At No. 7, Keegan has Chernyshov. Sheng has Bystedt. (1:28:46) Keegan and Sheng agree the rest of the way, though Sheng had plenty of pushback from NHL scouts on No. 2 Will Smith: Quentin Musty (1:36:34) Mukhamadullin (1:48:59) Sam Dickinson (1:51:19) Askarov (1:56:30) Will Smith (2:00:43) Macklin Celebrini (2:13:04)

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?

Joe Will joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! The San Jose Barracuda GM talks about the Barracuda goaltending situation, John McCarthy as a developer of talent, and San Jose's AHL player turnover rate. 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. Why not the AHL for Chernyshov? Will Russian native Chernyshov feel isolated in Saginaw? Sheng reached out to Chernyshov's agent Dan Milstein about that. (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. (8:50) Keegan discussed three Draft trends that he's observed in the Mike Grier era. (19:31) Sheng talked about what ex-San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson said about letting Joe Pavelski walk as a free agent in 2019. (26:29) How has the Erik Karlsson trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins looked for the Sharks, one year later? (36:58)  Last call for subscriber Andy Drexler, last chance to win your Sharks legend autograph! You have until the end of this week to reach out to Sheng via e-mail. (50:08) And now, Joe Will! (53:15) Will talks about the Barracuda's big free agent signings this summer, Andrew Poturalski, Lucas Carlsson, and Jimmy Schuldt, and where they will slot in with the Cuda. (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. How has treatment of players changed from Worcester to San Jose? Does Will have to make better contract offers with a Bay Area-based team? Will defends head coach John McCarthy's track record as a developer of talent. (1:08:43) How did Barracuda prospects progress throughout last season, what were they asked to focus on this off-season? Going by position. (1:12:16) Magnus Chrona (1:12:52) Georgi Romanov Will explains rolling with Eetu Makiniemi last year, his profile looks like what the San Jose Sharks are looking for right now, absent Makiniemi's injuries. (1:15:10) Thomas Bordeleau (1:17:18) Danil Gushchin Ethan Cardwell (1:20:23) Filip Bystedt Tristen Robins (1:26:12) Shakir Mukhamadullin (1:27:22) Jack Thompson (1:32:00) Valtteri Pulli Artem Guryev (1:35:38) Gannon Laroque Will discusses Luca Cagnoni and Kasper Halttunen, both eligible to return to the CHL, breaking camp with the Barracuda instead. (1:42:00) Does Will expect this Barracuda team to make the playoffs? Or do they need more? (1:47:42) Will was also San Jose Sharks interim GM throughout most of the 2021-22 season: Keegan asks him about re-signed Tomas Hertl to an eight-year extension. (1:50:40)

Jonathan Becher joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! The San Jose Sharks' president talks about the Macklin Celebrini effect and why it took the Sharks so long to embrace the rebuild. But before we get to Becher (1:09:57), Sheng and Keegan talk about Celebrini signing his ELC. Where does Celebrini fit into the San Jose Sharks' line-up? What are our too early predictions for how many points that Celebrini scores in his rookie campaign? Who wins the 2025 Calder Trophy? (1:50) Ty Emberson also signed…does Emberson take a top-four defenseman job on the Sharks by the end of the season? GM Mike Grier hasn't added any blueliners via free agency, is that a sign of his confidence in younger D like Emberson, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Henry Thrun? (36:26) Finally, we turn our focus on the San Jose Barracuda: Why did Nathan Todd leave? How impressive were GM Joe Will's free agent signings? (51:29) And now, Becher! (1:09:57) Three years ago, the San Jose Sharks seemed unwilling to go into a rebuild. Behind the scenes, what's changed in recent seasons, that the Sharks now embrace a rebuild? (1:11:00) How has owner Hasso Plattner's attitude changed about rebuilding? (1:13:47) Two decisions about the same player seem to speak to that shift of attitude? In Mar. 2022, the Sharks re-signed Tomas Hertl for eight years. Two years later, the Sharks traded him. (1:15:14) Plattner was recently spotted at the Jul. 4 prospects scrimmage: How much more involved is Hasso with the Sharks now? (1:17:22) What's the Macklin Celebrini effect on the Sharks, from the Draft Party to jersey sales to prospects scrimmage attendance to more? (1:19:26) What's so valuable about having so many San Jose Sharks alumni back with the organization? (1:29:26) Sheng has one more Hertl question for Becher. (1:32:38) What's going on with the Sharks' SAP Center management agreement? Becher said the terms change unfavorably against the Sharks on Jul. 1, 2025. What does that mean for how long the Sharks will play at SAP Center? (1:33:57) Finally, there's an ongoing lawsuit against the Sharks, Sharks Ice, and former Jr. Sharks coach Kevin Whitmer for failing to follow proper procedures to protect Jr. Sharks players from alleged pedophile Whitmer. What's the latest on the lawsuit? (1:39:00) Becher urges fans to get Joe Thornton retirement jersey tickets now -- they're selling fast! -- and shares that there will also be a Legends alumni game for Jumbo. (1:40:00)

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…
