The San Jose Sharks are preparing for opening night with a clearer understanding of their roster as many players vie for limited spots. The first line will likely consist of William Eklund, Macklin Celebrini, and Tyler Toffoli. Will Smith is expected to center the second line with newcomers Jeff Skinner and Philipp Kurashev. Michael Misa’s position on the third line is uncertain but he is expected to earn a spot. The fourth line presents challenges with potential spots for Barclay Goodrow, Ty Dellandrea, Carl Grundstrom, or Ryan Reaves, who may both end up being scratched.
The San Jose Sharks have completed most of their business for the summer at this point, and we have a rough idea of what the roster should look like on opening night.
William Eklund, Macklin Celebrini, and Tyler Toffoli should be reunited on the first line, and it's safe to say they're all guaranteed a spot on the roster.
The third line is where things truly get interesting, as Michael Misa will shake things up quite a bit whether he's ready for the NHL or not.
Barclay Goodrow and Ty Dellandrea are safe bets to have a spot on the Sharks' bottom line, but the right wing spot creates some questions.
