The San Jose Sharks are still keeping Michael Misa in the area and not with the Canadian Junior team at their training camp.<\/p>\n
Misa, who is now considered healthy by the Sharks, remains on LTIR despite his conditioning loan to the San Jose Barracuda being over.<\/p>\n
An initial report stated that the Sharks\u2019 No. 2 pick in 2025\u00a0was injured<\/a>,\u00a0causing him to miss the start of Hockey Canada\u2019s training camp. <\/p>\n Sharks coach Ryan Warsfosky clarified that an injury wasn\u2019t the case. He told reporters on Tuesday that Misa remains in the area and continues to work with coaches and the strengthening staff. <\/p>\n \u201cNo,\u201d Warsofsky said about whether Misa is injured. \u201cYou have to ask Mike [Grier]where he is on the roster or whatnot. He skated this morning with some guys, and we\u2019ll probably make a decision here soon.\u201d<\/p>\n After looking through the NHL\u2019s CBA, Misa was likely on a Bona Fide Long-Term Injury\/Illness Exception conditioning loan. <\/p>\n Section 13.9 reads: \u201cas set forth in Article 50 may, with his consent, during the term of such Bona Fide Long-Term Injury\/Illness Exception (but in no event during the first fourteen (14) calendar days and six (6) NHL Games), be Loaned on a Conditioning Loan (the \u201cBona Fide Long-Term Injury\/Illness Exception Conditioning Loan\u201d) for a period not to exceed up to the longer of six (6) days and three (3) games, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Player is fit to play.\u201d<\/p>\n Based on the rule above, Misa could only be on a Conditioning Loan for up to six days and three games.<\/p>\n Misa was sent on a conditioning loan to the Barracuda on Dec. 3. He played in two games, one on Dec. 5 and another on Dec. 6, but didn\u2019t play a third. It is unclear when his conditioning loan was ended, but based on the start date, it had to be before Dec. 10.<\/p>\n There is no rule requiring a player to be activated upon their return from a conditioning loan. The NHL Commissioner can use whatever means necessary to investigate why a player is placed or kept on injured reserve, at his discretion.<\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks have made their intentions clear; Misa will join Team Canada<\/a> at some point. Confusion remains about why he wouldn\u2019t attend training camp from the start.<\/p>\n According to Warsofsky, it is because they want to keep him in-house more and work with their organization.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause we wanted a few more days with him,\u201d Warsofsky said. \u201cHe was nicked up. He\u2019s missed some time. [This] gives us more time with our strength coaches, with our resources here, and then he\u2019ll join Team Canada here shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n Warsofsky confirmed that Misa didn\u2019t sustain any injuries in the two AHL games he played.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was injured with us. We sent him down there for some conditioning, to continue to rehab it, and get better and strengthen the injury. That\u2019s where we\u2019re at,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n The 2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship begins on Dec. 26.<\/p>\n Read more news and stories about the San Jose Sharks on\u00a0Sharks Hockey Digest<\/a>!
