With training camp starting this week, look at the state of the franchise for the upcoming season of the San Jose Sharks. Start with why there is so much optimism around the Sharks, thanks to the additions of Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith for the upcoming season. Also, examine the hiring of Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky and why he feels like the right guy for the Sharks. Then, recap the events of the summer, including the 2024 NHL Draft and who else the Sharks added besides Macklin Celebrini. Also, examine the many trades that Mike Grier had to add more depth to the team, including the addition of Jake Walman, Cody Ceci, and Ty Dellandrea. Analyze why the Sharks added Tyler Toffoli and Alex Wennberg in free agency and how important the Yaroslav Askarov trade was to the franchise. Finally, a look at the three biggest storylines of the season: How do Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith develop in their first years, the plan for Askarov, and how does Ryan Warsofsky change the culture?
