NHL Pacific Division Preview: How Far Can the Sharks Rise?

In part one of The Lead’s Pacific Division preview, one team rose even more after last year. In a weak division, there was a noticeable shake-up in who will make the playoffs. That said, what’s to come for the anticipated playoff teams? The Golden Knights still seem to be a fixture in the division. The […] The post NHL Pacific Division Preview: How Far Can the Sharks Rise? appeared first on The Lead .

No. 9 Keaton Verhoeff: San Jose’s hope on the backend

It was a bittersweet day when the San Jose Sharks announced that the team had traded 2021 first-round draft pick William Eklund along with a pair of prospects to the Ottawa Senators. Eklund was a fan favorite and one of the longest-tenured Sharks. Considering the turnover the team had dealt with in the 2020s, coupled with more losses than wins, Eklund felt like a harbinger of a brighter future. Seeing him depart San Jose took the wind out of Sharks fans, even for a moment. However, the sh...

Report: Maple Leafs Had Trade Offer Rejected By Sharks

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been shopping forward Matthew Knies on the trade market since before last season's trade deadline. First, it was Brad Treliving, who almost shipped out the power forward to the rival Montreal Canadiens, and while that deal fell through last March, new GM John Chayka took over conversations once he took over the job. Reports indicate that Chayka started shopping Knies at the NHL Draft from Buffalo in June, and Sportsnet's Frank Seravalli confirmed the Leafs offered ...

No. 10 Ryan Lin: Small defenseman, big expectations

In 2026, the San Jose Sharks had one of the best drafts in the franchise’s history. The Sharks had three first-round picks, and as if to prove just how good the draft went for San Jose, Ryan Lin, the player coming in tenth on our Top 25 Under 25 list this year, was the third player picked by General Manager Mike Grier. Lin was drafted 21st overall, but some experts felt he should have been drafted higher. Like number 11 on our list, Luca Cagnoni, Lin might have been held back by his size. He’s...

Rangers To Carry Alberts Smits On Opening Night Roster

By Josh Erickson | at September 27, 2026 5:55 pm The Rangers have informed reigning fifth overall pick Alberts Smits that he’ll break camp, reports Mollie Walker of the New York Post. The 18-year-old defender is one of five 2026 draft picks still left on NHL rosters before tomorrow’s submission deadline, joining the Maple Leafs’ Gavin McKenna (#1 overall), the Sharks’ Ivar Stenberg (#2), the Jets’ Viggo Bjorck (#8), and the Ducks’ Nikita Klepov (#15). Smits was the second defender off the boar...

No. 11 Luca Cagnoni: Its NHL or bust for the fourth-round pick

For what feels like years now, San Jose Sharks fans have marveled at the fact that the team lucked into defenseman Luca Cagnoni in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. It seems as though his puck carrying skills and skating abilities were overshadowed greatly by his size, or lack thereof. So much so, that teams passed on the diminutive defenseman time and time again until the Sharks picked him up at 123rd overall. Cagnoni immediately rewarded the organization for its faith in his ability t...

Why The Canucks Must Not Cut Corners In Long Rebuilding Process

The Vancouver Canucks have new management in place, but the Canucks are almost certainly going to be just as bad, if not worse than their 2025-26 season. Does Vancouver have the stones to see through a full rebuild, or have they not learned their lesson from the San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames?

Quick bites: Sharks win final game of the preseason, beat Vegas 4-2

Let’s be honest. It wasn’t a good game by any stretch for the San Jose Sharks. But these are the kinds of games that teams need to know how to win if they’re going to make the playoffs, and the Sharks figured out how to win. San Jose beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Saturday night, breaking a tie late in the third period thanks to goals from Mason Marchment and Michael Misa. Marchment’s goal rang off the post in the third period and into the net, breaking the two all tie to give the S...

Sharks at Golden Knights preseason game 4: Lines, game thread and how to watch

Tonight’s the final San Jose Sharks preseason game before the official season starts. The Sharks pretty much have all the roster spots set. That was done around the time that the free agency frenzy(?) wrapped up in July. But this is a chance to see how some of the younger players shape up against a somewhat NHL roster. We suspect that the Vegas Golden Knights will trot out an NHL-type of lineup since the team is at home. This will give the Sharks coaching staff a chance to see how players like...

Salary Cap Deep Dive: San Jose Sharks

Navigating the salary cap is one of the most important tasks for a front office. Teams that can avoid total cap chaos by walking the tightrope of inking players to deals that match their value (or compensate for future value without breaking the bank) remain successful. Those who don’t often see struggles and front office changes. As we do each year, PHR will look at every NHL team and give a thorough look at their cap situation for the 2026-27 season, though in a slightly different format tha...
