The San Jose Sharks have made massive strides forward over the offseason. From drafting Macklin Celebrini, to trading for Yaroslav Askarov, to even just the continued development of players like William Eklund and Will Smith, this is a team that, at the very least, is going to be much more entertaining in the upcoming season. Today, we look at what the Sharks have done, and projections for the upcoming season, and beyond that, far into the future for when the team is ready to contend in the NHL again.

I doubt Mack and Smith will be top 6. Most likely Celebrini will C line 2 and Smith 3. No need to give them high pressure minutes.
No mention of Johnny & Matty… classless
Crazy how 2 great drafts in a row can change a franchise's future
As a lifelong Sharks fan, there is nowhere to go but up from here. The future is teal, but there's still so much that could go wrong. People (including myself) have called SJ a future dynasty. The 2010s Sharks were supposed to be dynasties too.
Smith and Celebrini are gonna be the new Toews and Kane
This guy thinks one possibly good young D man in the system makes them better than 10 other teams that have been rebuilding just as long as the sharks. The complete disregard for defense by Grier should be reason alone to fire him. But California is going to California. The Sharks still have a very long dark road ahead of them. Celebrini is also a RNH clone so don’t get too excited.

All of a sudden they’re better than any other franchise in the long term??!! From that point on I knew this video was trash…
The sharks have to have the most amount of elite prospects all on the same timeline for breaking out and getting pro development, insane
Just need a solid defensive defenseman and one more high end winger. Free agency might be enough though.
Celebrini is so damn good defensively too wow
7 years is a bit of a stretch I think the sharks will be done rebuilding on 2 to 3 years
