NHL: San Jose Sharks hockey operations department with Mike Grier and David Quinn have some interesting decisions ahead
San Jose Sharks’ Henry Thrun skates on the ice during warmups before their game against the Winnipeg Jets at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier mentioned in August after he brought back two forwards and a defenseman as part of the Erik Karlsson trade that there were still openings for some of the organization’s younger players to be a part of the NHL team’s 23-man roster.
It’s up to Grier, coach David Quinn, and other members of the Sharks’ hockey operations department to decide if Eklund and Thrun, and perhaps even center Thomas Bordeleau, have done enough to warrant roster spots right now, thereby forcing the team to place a veteran on waivers. Lindblom and Peterson have had their moments in camp but nothing spectacular. Tuesday against the Golden Knights, Lindblom didn’t check Gage Quinney hard enough below the goal line, allowing the Vegas forward to muscle his way to the front of the net for a scoring chance. That had to have been noticed. Meanwhile, Quinn felt Eklund had his best game of the preseason and was also complimentary of Bordeleau and Thrun.
The Sharks have to decide whether to have 13 or 14 forwards. That could depend on how many defensemen they feel they need to keep.It’s a banged-up defense corps and that could make the Sharks’ decision on who remains on the 23-man roster a little less complicated. Simek seems like a candidate to start the year on IR and Okhotiuk, Guryev, and Pulli were skating away from the main training camp group as of earlier this week.
