The San Jose Sharks have made the playoffs in 15 of the
past 16 seasons, but after blowing a three-games-to-none
lead against the Los Angeles Kings in Round One,
disappointment reigns in Northern California once again.
Jersey/">Nick Shore Jersey . Off-Season Game Plan
looks at a Sharks team that has promised changes, but
might be better off sticking with the core of a team
that, even without a Stanley Cup win, has consistently
been among the leagues best. Understandably, the Sharks
are disappointed. No team with legitimate Stanley Cup
aspirations likes to get bounced in the first round, but
there should be some mitigating factors considered. First
and foremost, the Sharks have to consider that they had
outscored the Kings 17-8 in the first three games of the
playoffs and needed one more win to oust the team that is
now favoured to win the Stanley Cup. That should indicate
that, while improvement is necessary, the Sharks should
realize that they arent far off. They were the leagues
third-best possession team and that isnt a team that
should be blown up just because the Western Conference
Murderers Row tripped them up once again. This is
relevant because rumours have surfaced that long-time
Sharks Patrick Marleau or Joe Thornton could be asked to
waive no-movement clauses. Theres no sure answer to say
that the Sharks will be just fine if they keep this core
together, but its harder to see this team as a Cup
contender in the next year or two if they move out
players like Thornton or Marleau. Value always depends on
what the return is, but those wont be easy holes to fill
if that is the direction in which the Sharks are headed.
Until that decision becomes clear, this team will be one
of the most compelling to watch this offseason. Such is
the nature of a contending team that is getting impatient
with its inability to get over the hump. The TSN.ca
Rating is an efficiency rating based on per-game
statistics including goals and assists -- weighted for
strength (ie. power play, even, shorthanded) -- Corsi,
adjusted for zone starts, quality of competition and
quality of teammates, hits, blocked shots, penalty
differential and faceoffs. Generally, a replacement-level
player is around a 60, a top six forward and top four
defenceman will be around 70, stars will be over 80 and
MVP candidates could go over 90. Sidney Crosby finished
at the top of the 2013-2014 regular season ratings at

56.93 56 2 3 5 46.1% UFA $737K Coming off a career-best
season, fueled in part by a career-high 18.2% shooting
percentage, Joe Pavelski plays in all situations, hasnt
missed a game in three seasons and, over the course of
those three seasons, ranks sixth in goals. Hes a very
good two-way player but, prior to last season, had scored
more than 0.75 points per game (a 60-point pace)twice in
seven seasons. Over the past four seasons, there are two
players under the age of 24 with more goals than Logan
Coutures 107-- Steven Stamkos (159) and John Tavares
(112). Thats pretty good company. Last season, Coutures
goal-scoring was down, thanks to a career-low 9.9%
shooting percentage, but 53 points in 65 games
represented a career-best rate of 0.82 points per game,
and that came while facing the hardest competition with
the highest percentage of defensive zone starts of his
career. Having played nearly 1400 (regular season plus
playoff) games for the Sharks, Patrick Marleau gets
branded, at times, as the face of the franchises
disappointment, but hes the fourth-leading goal scorer in
the league over the past six seasons, giving little
indication that hes slowing down, even as he enters his
mid-30s. While playoff shortcomings get pinned to
Marleau, since 2002, hes scored 55 goals in 125
postseason games, which leaves him with the second-best
goals-per-game among players to play at least 100 playoff
games in that time. He wont be able to do this forever,
but Marleau has been extremely durable, having not missed
a game in the past five years. He will slow down at some
point, but hes hardly the reason the Sharks havent yet
won a Stanley Cup. Raffi Torress per-game contributions
were way out of line last season, but thats a small
sample at work. Hes a hard-hitting third-line winger who
can chip in offensively when hes not hurt, or suspended.
With Teemu Selanne retiring, Jaromir Jagr is the only
active player with more points than Joe Thornton, who has
accrued 1194 in 1207 career games, and while hes managed
a modest 18 goals over the past two seasons, Thornton
still has 116 points in that span, tied with Tyler Seguin
and Jonathan Toews for 12th in the league. Even so, that
may not be enough. The 34-year-old could be available for
trade, though thats a complicated matter since he has a
no-movement clause tied to the three years remaining on
his contract. Like Marleau, Thornton takes the heat for
San Joses playoff stumbles but, even after scoring three
points in seven games this season, he still has 82 points
in 97 playoff games since joining the Sharks. If he is
made available, and is amenable to the right move, there
ought to be a long line of suitors. Tomas Hertl burst
into the NHL with six goals in his first three games, but
his production was slowing down even before he suffered a
knee injury that kept him out for nearly four months, and
he finished with seven points in his last 20 games after
scoring 18 points in 17 games to start the year. However,
Hertl has size, speed, skill and is just 20-years-old.
Hes due to have some percentages fall, but can also play
a bigger role, which could help offset that anticipated
regression. 33-year-old Martin Havlat has had a rough
ride in San Jose, scoring 27 goals and 67 points in 127
games over the past three seasons, and his points-per-
game over the last two were under half-a-point-per-game
for the first time in his career. Sharks GM Doug Wilson
has said that Havlat wont be back, which would presumably
mean a buyout of the final year of his contract. A speedy
winger who earned a bigger role and produced more as his
rookie season went on, Matt Nieto figures to have a top-
nine, possibly top-six, role next season. Hes scored
enough before arriving in the NHL to believe that there
is more production possible as he matures. Tyler Kennedys
play has dipped over the past couple seasons, when hes no
longer had Jordan Staal as his centre like he did for his
best years in Pittsburgh, and was a non-factor down the
stretch for the Sharks, going without a goal in his last
25 games and managing two assists in his last 23 games.
The proverbial great team guy, Adam Burish has
nonetheless put up one goal and three points in 61 games,
while getting beat up in puck possession terms, with the
Sharks over the past two seasons. Can a healthy Burish
even handle a regular role on the fourth line? Theres two
years and $3.7-million left on his deal that makes that a
question worth answering. Hard-hitting winger Tommy
Wingels had a breakout season last year, getting the
opportunity to play a regular role with skilled players.
He was one of 25 forwards to record at least 200 hits
last season and, among those with more hits than Wingels
210, only David Backes, Milan Lucic and Brandon Dubinsky
had more than Wingels 38 points. Its been a long strange
trip for James Sheppard, the ninth overall pick by
Minnesota in 2006, who nearly lost his career after an
ATV accident, but he has worked his way back into a
regular NHL role, playing top-nine minutes down the
stretch for the Sharks as he finished the year with 11
points in his last 19 games before delivering six points
in seven playoff games. He only has 16 goals in 323
career games, but if Sheppard is able to handle a third-
line centre role, thats a remarkable recovery. If the
Sharks are prepared to push forward, bringing in at least
one scoring winger would make sense. With Brent Burns
moving back to defence and Martin Havlat on the way out,
maybe a free agent like Ales Hemsky, Mike Cammalleri or
Jarome Iginla would have some appeal. Returning Defence

UFA $1.0M After a productive run at right wing, where he
scored 68 points (31 G, 37 A in 92 GP) over the past
season-and-a-half, Brent Burns is moving back to defence,
where he had shown plenty of promise before the move to
Thorntons wing. This becomes a value judgement. Would the
Sharks prefer to have Burns playing on the top defence
pair and logging 23-24 minutes a night, or would they
like a potential 30-goal power forward who plays 17
minutes per game? Both are desirable commodities, but the
Sharks might find it easier to add a scoring winger than
they would a top pair defenceman, even if the scoring
winger may not come in a 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame. In
eight NHL seasons, Marc-Edouard Vlasic has missed more
than two games in a season just once and finds himself in
very good company in terms of puck possession for big-
minute defencemen and that is despite consistently
starting more shifts in the defensive zone, even on a
strong team like the Sharks. Last seasons 24 points was
the highest season total for Vlasic since 2009, yet hes
still very valuable in his defensive role. There arent
many defence-only defencemen that hold a lot of value,
but Vlasic is one. Matt Irwin hasnt been able to secure
his spot on the Sharks blueline, still getting scratched
at times, but hes been effective enough through his first
100 NHL games, although his performance wasnt as strong
last season. He has a bomb from the point and quite
reasonably priced if he plays regularly. Playing
increasingly difficult minutes, Justin Braun has matured
into a relaible top-four defenceman, playing a career-
high 20:59 per game last season. Not a lot of frills to
his game, but Braun blocks shots (four behind Vlasic for
the team lead) and has spent time paired with Vlasic in a
shutdown role. Its been a long time (been a long time,
been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time)
since Brad Stuart was drafted third overall in 1998 by
the Sharks, and hes used in a much different, defence-
first, role. Like many physical defensive defencemen, hes
lost a step, and played a career-low 19:10 per game last
season, but Stuart is certainly capable of filling a
regular role in the top six. Jason Demers had something
of a breakout year in 2013-2014, playing a career-high
19:29 per game and tallying a career-best 34 points as
the Sharks most effective offensive contributor from the
blueline. As such, hes likely due for a nice raise as a
restricted free agent this summer. Returning Goaltender

2014. Given how the season ended, it wouldnt be a shock
to see the Sharks try to make a change, but they could
also play out the final year of Niemis current deal. With
Alex Stalock headed for free agency, the Sharks may want
to grab better than a basic backup; ideally, someone that
could step in to handle the job if Niemi doesnt bounce
back next season. Top Prospects Player Pos. Team/League

Worcester (AHL) 17-14-31, +2, 47 GP Last summers first-
round pick, Mirco Muellers point production dipped ever-
so-slightly from his first WHL season, but hes a highly-
regarded puck-mover. Can the Swiss rearguard make the
jump next year, or will he be better served with another
year in the Dub? A second-round pick in 2012, Chris
Tierney has increased his offensive output at the junior
level. Starting with the 2013 playoffs, he has 127 points
( 52 G, 75 A) in 97 games. Theres no rush to get him to
San Jose, but Tierney is a good one to have in the
pipeline. Freddie Hamilton, a fifth-round pick in 2010,
made a nice progression in his second pro season and
earned 11 games with San Jose. He struggled in the NHL,
but the 22-year-old is available if the Sharks need a
call-up. A sixth-round pick in 2010, 6-foot-5 Konrad
Abeltshauser made a nice transition to the AHL and could
push quickly in an organization that, aside from Mueller,
doesnt have great blueline prospects. Taken in the second
round last year, Gabryel Boudreau saw his scoring dive
from 63 points in 2012-2013 to 35 points last season.
Thats not very encouraging, but is also an indication
that hes due for further development before he gets his
turn at pro hockey. With 50 points in 121 AHL games over
two-plus seasons, Matt Tennyson has shown the puck skills
to warrant consideration for promotion, but the free
agent out of Western Michigan hasnt been reliable enough
defensively. A 6-foot-8 defenceman with three-plus years
of AHL exerperience, Taylor Doherty isnt going to score
his way to the Show, and has yet to see action in an NHL
game, but hes 6-foot-8 and can move well for that size,
so the 2009 second-round pick shouldnt be discounted yet.
Drafted in the sixth round in 2011, Dylan DeMelo has
worked his way into position to contend with other San
Jose blueline prospects. At the same time, hes 21-years-
old and could use further development. Picked in the
fifth round in 2011, Sean Kuraly is a winger with good
size who had a nice bump in production as a sophomore,
finishing third on his team in scoring. With another year
or two of development, he could turn into a solid two-way
contributor. Signed out of Bowling Green after scoring 16
points in 15 during an injury-plauged junior season, Ryan
Carpenter struggled in his first taste of pro hockey,
registering a couple of assists in 11 games with
Worcester, but hes a low-risk signing that could be
interesting based on his improving numbers in college.
Daniil Tarasov has worked his way up from the USHL and
has 31 goals and 59 points in 90 AHL games over the past
couple seasons. Sharks advanced stats and player usage
