There has been a lot to recap this so far this offseason for the San Jose Sharks.
The San Jose Sharks are in rebuild mode, but that hasn't stopped GM Mike Grier from being active this offseason.

Next up for the San Jose Sharks is the NHL Draft. Could we see an EK65 trade on draft night? Maybe. Anything can happen come draft time.
Grier will have his hands full in rebuilding the roster to his liking, but one thing is sure: David Quinn and his coaching staff will all be back next season.
