Is that the Kevin Wey?

Holy blast from the past, Batman!!

Kevin Wey of Hockey's Future reports that this is the fourth straight draft the Sharks have traded up in the draft to get players they had their eye on. Wey also notes that the selection of defensemen Ty Wishart [6-4, 220 pounds] and James DeLory [6-4, 212 pounds] adds size and mobility to the Sharks development system...

Another mock roster, this one for the Barracuda by Nollenberger. Interesting names on it:

William Eklund*-Ryan Carpenter*-Danil Gushchin*
Thomas Bordeleau*-Nathan Todd-Tristen Robins*
Brandon Coe-Ethan Cardwell-Ozzy Wiesblatt
Adam Raska*- Scott Sabourin-Anthony Vincent

Henry Thrun*-Leon Gawanke
Nick Cicek*-Shakir Mukhamadullin
Nikita Okhotyuk*-Ethan Frisch

Eetu Makiniemi*
Magnus Chrona
*= games played in the NHL in 2022-23

Would I be surprised if Eklund ends up making the Sharks out of camp? No, not one bit. But if Grier and Co. elect to go more veteran heavy, at least to begin the year, I could see Eklund playing big minutes in the AHL to start, and then getting called up a month or so in. Maybe another young player surprises and steals a job like Gushchin or Robins or Bordeleau. The lineup above is just a guess, so don’t hold me to it. Plus, a lot is made of the Opening Night Roster, even though things change constantly throughout the season. Using last year as an example, the Sharks deployed 40 different skaters during the year, and four different goaltenders. Of the 24 players on the Sharks’ home opening night roster in 2022-23, five finished the campaign on different teams (Nick Bonino, Timo Meier, Matt Nieto, Scott Harrington, Jaycob Megna).

IMO there's just too many bodies to predict where everyone is going to wind up, both on the Sharks and the Cuda. Everything is just so crowded.

That is a very young Cuda team and while it would be exciting with Eklund (who I think will get squeezed to the AHL to start the year) this team will be middle of the pack in the AHL.

I also think Laroque will get some time and I would like to see Bystedt on the Cuda this year.

I mostly agree. I'd wanted to see them add a veteran scorer or two to offset some of our departures, but like I said, there's just so many guys already. Not to mention if Eklund does make the Sharks, that's going to be an additional downgrade to the Cuda forward group.

Our defense is stronger, our forwards weaker. Our goalies? Who knows.
