We continue the search for possible RHD trade targets. Michael Kesselring doesn't exactly jump off the page, but he'd be a great value play for depth at the position. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #SabreHood

Fans have proposed a trade that would send Adam Fox to San Jose. Bringing in a RHD of his caliber would instantly catapult the Sharks toward the top of the Pacific Division. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #NYR

With the help of @jfreshhockey.bsky.social, we take a statistical look into possible trade target Simon Nemec. Could he be the missing piece to the Sharks blue line? #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #NJDevils #SimonNemec #Nemec

The Sharks have options to fix their defense. While drafting is an option, a more immediate solution is to trade expendable prospects to bring in NHL-ready talent. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #LetsGoOilers

Sharks draft lottery luck! With just a 5% chance for the 2nd overall pick, the hockey gods smiled upon San Jose! Who would you pick? #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #NHLDraft2026 #NHLDraft

The Hart Trophy is about value to the team. Not just total points. Macklin Celebrini's point totals and ice time compared to his teammates make a compelling case. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #Sports #Celebrini #HartTrophy #SanJose

It's all about the team culture. 10 years or 2 games, once you put on the jersey, you're family. We've seen huge leaps in how everyone comes together, young and old. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #NHL #Podcast #Hockey #Celebrini #Reaves

With a quiet confidence, Misa says you haven't seen the real him yet. This rookie is ahead of the curve, and next year is poised to be a big one. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports

19-year-old beats a 19-year-old's record: Celebrini recorded his 115th point! The bench went wild, water-soaked chaos in the locker room, and he's just getting started! #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Celebrini #HartTrophy #Thornton

With a massive 30-point turnaround and one of the youngest teams in the NHL, the Sharks defied expectations this season. Aaron puts it best: not disappointed, just sad. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports

Many are disappointed with the Sharks, but just last year they had 52 points. That is a massive improvement and certainly nothing to be disappointed about. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports

Look at this Collin Graf! #SJSharks #NHL #TheFutureIsTeal #Graf #Nickelback

Macklin Celebrini is rewriting Sharks history at 19! Is he already the best player they've ever had? #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #MacklinCelebrini #MVP #NHLPlayoffs

Dmitry Orlov delivered a massive hit on Roman Josi, knocking his helmet off. We discuss Orlov's value and why he's a crucial player for the Sharks. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #Smashville

Currently on 5-game losing streak, can the San Jose Sharks turn things around tonight against St. Louis? #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #STLBlues

Are the Sharks heading for a top draft pick, or a playoff spot? It seems there's no in-between. With the Pacific division struggling, not making the wildcard could mean a top 5 pick. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #NHLPlayoffs #NHLDraft

Ryan Warsofsky wants his players to earn their ice time by playing the game the right way: with effort and tenacity. Even if you don't score, your willingness to play hard matters. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports

The numbers don't lie. Michael Misa's stats exploded after the Olympic break, showing a dramatic improvement. This young talent is on fire! #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #MichaelMisa

The Sharks-Canadiens game was absolutely wild, with a staggering 12 goals scored in total! Defense seemed to be an afterthought for the Sharks, who let in 5 goals, but managed to outscore their problems. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #GoHabsGo

A referee's intention to let players play often paradoxically influences the game's outcome. The pursuit of non-interference can, ironically, lead to significant game-changing moments. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey

This time of year, the refs put their whistles away. The Sharks need to start playing playoff style hockey, increasing grit and physicality, to level the playing field. Catch the full episode here: www.youtube.com/live/OPWoSuB... #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #Hockey

The trade deadline is approaching! Will Mike Grier make big moves or subtle tweaks? The Sharks aim to improve with smart adjustments for the future. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #NHLTradeRumors #NHLTradeDeadline

Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon are raving about 19-year-old Macklin Celebrini. It's clear Celebrini is making a huge impression on the league's top players. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #Hockey #MacklinCelebrini #TeamCanada #Olympics #McDavid #MacKinnon

Celebrini, the youngest player on the Canadian Olympic roster, is taking to the ice with Connor McDavid on the 1st line. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #Celebrini #TeamCanada #Olympics #OlympicHockey

Burns pleaded his case to the ref after he and Celebrini both got sent to the sin bin. Macklin hilariously chirps Burns, who is more than twice his age. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Celebrini #teamcanada #GoAvsGo

Iorio was waived and picked up by #NYR. Good for Iorio, who gets an opportunity with a team likely unloading defensemen. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #NHLTradeRumors #NHLTradeDeadline

Desharnais crushed Tkachuk, and when the Panthers pushed back, Nedeljkovic stepped up for his teammate, sparking a goalie fight with Bobrovsky. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #GoalieFight #TimeToHunt

Collin Graf's amazing forecheck and deceptive pass led to a mind-blowing goal. Celebrini's one-timer shocked the tendy! #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #Graf #Celebrini #WillSmith

Is Braden Schneider a potential target from the Rangers? He's a 24-year-old right-handed shutdown defenseman with playoff experience. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJose #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #NYR #NHLTradeDeadline #NHLRumors

We asked the question what if Celebrini and Bedard were swapped? Would Celebrini be getting way more press if he was drafted by an Original 6 team? #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #Blackhawks #SanJose #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Celebrini #Bedard

When Moser targeted Celebrini, Eklund immediately stepped up, followed by Reavo and the bruisers. The team's got his back. You target him, you deal with it. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #Celebrini #GoBolts #SanJose

Chernyshov powered right past Quinn Hughes, attacked the triangle, and scored a beautiful goal. Aaron: "Take My Money!" #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #Chernyshov #Canucks

Last episode we talked about Eklund's scoring struggles, believing he's primed to bounce back. The very next game, he scored with an elite level shot! Very happy for him! #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports #Eklund

Chernyshov has been very impressive in his short NHL debut. He just recently scored his first NHL goal, we suspect the first of many! #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey #SportsTalk #Sports
