Happy Sunday, San Jose Sharks fans. We are now a week into NHL preseason and cuts have been made to NHL rosters. The Sharks have a handful more preseason games before opening up their season on Oct. 9th against the Vegas Golden Knights. However, before that, let's take a second to revisit the week that was at the Hockey News' Sharks site.

Every juicy bite perfectly symbolizes the transition from junior hockey to life as a professional in the NHL, and it literally happened to Skinner. He remembers scrounging his cash during his OHL days with the Kitchener Rangers to hit up Subway for whatever sandwich was on special. The next thing he knew, Carolina drafted him seventh overall in 2010 and he was an 18-year-old wunderkind, sniping 31 goals en route to the Calder Trophy.

[https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/san-jose-sharks/latest-news/from-the-archive-michael-misa-vs-james-hagens-1] You could argue that the best thing for Michael Misa and James Hagens would be to switch places next season. After Misa scored 62 goals and 134 points in his third season with the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit, he has nothing left to prove in junior hockey and could very well suffer a major case of boredom next season. Playing college hockey would challenge him against more mature players. Hagens has been lights-out on the international stage and was a standout at Boston College, but he might do well in a program where he could shine as an individual and rack up a ridiculous number of points.
