San Jose Sharks' Alex Wennberg emerges as a defensive force, but can he sustain his impact without William Eklund on his wing? With Wennberg anchoring tough minutes and shutting down elite opposition, the Sharks’ center posted one of his most efficient and underrated seasons—earning a multi-year contract extension as San Jose surged into the playoff mix.

JD Young breaks down Wennberg’s evolving role, the analytics behind his shutdown success, and how the Sharks might replicate Eklund’s playmaking next to the veteran center. Insightful analysis covers line combination possibilities—including rookie Ivar Stenberg—and the future balance between Wennberg, Macklin Celebrini, and Michael Misa down the middle. Will Wennberg thrive with less offensive help and a slightly reduced workload? Get the full strategic outlook on the Sharks’ depth chart shakeup and what it means for their playoff push.

San Jose Sharks’ breakout star Collin Graf shattered expectations with his two-way performance—will his efficiency hold as the roster evolves? JD Young examines Graf’s stellar 2023-24 campaign, spotlighting 21 goals, 25 assists, and elite penalty-killing, while questioning if his 20-goal output is sustainable given changing ice time and new top-line additions like Stenberg and Igor Chernyshov.

The discussion highlights potential contract targets for Graf, comparing his value to deals signed by Peyton Krebs, Nicholas Robertson, and Mackie Samoskevich. Key topics include Graf’s versatility up and down the lineup, his critical role as a penalty killer, and the Sharks’ forward depth chart heading into next season. Can Graf thrive in a middle-six role and continue to be the Sharks’ ace on the penalty kill, or will his production dip as San Jose loads up on offensive talent?
