The San Jose Sharks are young, headlined by the likes of Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and William Eklund, so fighting for a playoff spot will be difficult, but doing so would show the team is trending in the right direction.
Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson could also earn spots on the roster, further adding to the youth movement. While many predict the Sharks to be near the bottom of the standings, crazier things have happened.
