It was a successful season for the San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n
They improved 34 points, from 52 to 86 points, and were on the cusp of the playoff race until the last week of the regular season. They established, without a doubt, that they have a franchise player in Macklin Celebrini. They saw lots of growth from other young stars like Will Smith and Sam Dickinson and Collin Graf and Michael Misa, among others.<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier\u2019s off-season plan to take his team to the next level?<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll have to face potentially massive extensions for Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. RFA Collin Graf is also due a healthy raise.<\/p>\n
Will 19-year-old Celebrini be his next captain?<\/p>\n
What will he do with UFAs Mario Ferraro, Vincent Desharnais, and Ryan Reaves?<\/p>\n
Was he happy with head coach Ryan Warsofsky\u2019s performance this season?<\/p>\n
What went wrong for the San Jose Sharks at the end of the year, that caused them to miss the playoffs?<\/p>\n
And will prospects Eric Pohlkamp and Leo Sahlin Wallenius join the San Jose Barracuda for their playoff push?<\/p>\n
Grier covered all these topics and more on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Warsofsky Will Be Back<\/p>\n
Warsofsky isn\u2019t going anywhere: Grier was happy with the job that his coaching staff did this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey did a good job,\u201d Grier said. \u201cI think he\u2019s still learning and growing as a coach.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a successful season for the San Jose Sharks.
