Did The Sharks END Their Rebuild Too Soon?

The San Jose Sharks suddenly look ahead of schedule. Macklin Celebrini just produced 115 points, Ivar Stenberg exploded for a preseason hat trick, and San Jose’s rebuild may be moving faster than anyone expected. • Watch Stenberg score three goals while Michael Misa adds four points in a stunning 10-0 preseason win over Anaheim. • See how Celebrini’s 45 goals and 115 points shattered Joe Thornton’s franchise record and pushed San Jose to within four points of a playoff spot. • Follow Mike Greer’s massive offseason bet, adding veterans like Darnell Nurse, Jacob Truba and Mason Marchment while trying not to rush the Sharks’ young prospects. • Explore why Stenberg, Misa and other young players are making that patient development plan increasingly difficult to follow. • See the shift become official when 20-year-old Celebrini is named the youngest captain in Sharks franchise history. • Examine the biggest remaining question: Yaroslav Askarov, who finished last season with a 3.63 goals-against average and an .884 save percentage. San Jose built its veteran depth to buy the prospects more time. Now those same prospects may be forcing their way into NHL jobs earlier than expected. The question is no longer simply whether the Sharks accelerated too quickly — it’s whether their young core accelerated first.
