San Jose Sharks 2015-16 Review: Roster and Cap

June 22nd, 2016 We are on to our fifth section of the San Jose Sharks season review. Unlike the other sections, this is less of a review and more of a ‘where are we now’ evaluation. It is based on the current roster and salary cap. Main Points Forwards Defense Goalies The Roster and the Cap I’ll begin with a few nuts and bolts....
The San Jose Sharks, Matt Nieto and Alfred Hitchcock

The San Jose Sharks, Matt Nieto and Alfred Hitchcock

June 1st, 2016 The San Jose Sharks lost to a faster team in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. One of the team’s fastest players, winger Matt Nieto, did not play in that game. He is now fully recovered from injury and is ready to go. Should Sharks coach Peter DeBoer return Nieto to the line-up? The Local Media Weighs In The story has caught fire...
What Do San Jose Sharks Have in Matt Nieto?

What Do San Jose Sharks Have in Matt Nieto?

March 12th, 2016 When the San Jose Sharks selected Matt Nieto in the second round of the 2011 NHL Draft, the hope was that the speedy winger would develop into a versatile top-six scorer. Five years later, we're still waiting for that to happen. Nieto registered 23 points in 32 games in his draft year with Boston University. He nearly doubled his...
3 Sharks Most Likely to be Traded

3 Sharks Most Likely to be Traded

January 21st, 2016 The San Jose Sharks currently sit second in the Pacific Division. Their inconsistent roller coaster of a season is trending up the last two weeks. The Sharks have gone 5-0-1 over their past six games and are playing a solid brand of hockey dating back seven contests to a 2-1 regulation loss against the Red Wings. At this exact moment,...
Did The San Jose Sharks Just Stumble Into Success?

Did The San Jose Sharks Just Stumble Into Success?

January 20th, 2016 It happened quickly. With about a dozen minutes to go against the struggling Ottawa Senators, the Sharks put out a line they rarely used before. Why? Well, it has been Coach Peter DeBoer’s style to juggle lines in the third period of games. Why? Well, he always seems to bench fourth line forward Mike Brown in the third period, meaning...
The Incredible Disappearing Act of Matt Nieto

The Incredible Disappearing Act of Matt Nieto

October 30th, 2015 Two years ago, the Sharks were singing the praises of two rookies that had bounced onto the scene and shocked us all. Tomas Hertl and Matt Nieto were brand new faces that seemed destined to shine for the Sharks for years to come. Hertl's incredible knack for the net and Nieto's ability to play alongside Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau...
Filling The Holes On Your Fantasy Team

Filling The Holes On Your Fantasy Team

October 19th, 2015 After fantasy drafts took place a few weeks ago, many fantasy owners sat at their computers fixated on their completed rosters. Some salivated at the idea of what their team was built for. Others bit their fingernails hoping they captured the greatest fantasy sleeper of 2015-16. Now, three weeks into the regular season and the grins...
3 Sharks Forwards With the Most to Prove

3 Sharks Forwards With the Most to Prove

October 1st, 2015 The San Jose Sharks have a deep set of forwards this year and competition for ice time will be fierce. As noted here yesterday, Finnish free-agent acquisition Joonas Donskoi is pushing for a spot in the top-nine. Along with another free-agent pickup in Joel Ward, a healthy Raffi Torres and the up-and-coming Chris Tierney, the Sharks have...

Sharks Previews & Predictions: Matt Nieto's Luck

August 17th, 2015 Previous Previews: Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, Joel Ward, Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl, Chris Tierney As we continue through our analysis of the San Jose Sharks' bottom-six forward group, we shall take a look at winger Matt Nieto.

San Jose Sharks Matt Nieto At A Crossroads

San Jose Sharks Matt Nieto At A Crossroads

August 10th, 2015 For the Sharks third year forward Matt Nieto, this season looks to be one that will define his career. Nieto is only 22, so it might seem early for a defining season. But players who are young need to show improvement. Nieto's 2014-15 season was not much different from his rookie campaign. What is considered promising for a rookie is not...
3 Sharks Most Likely to be Traded This Offseason

3 Sharks Most Likely to be Traded This Offseason

July 7th, 2015 So far this offseason the San Jose Sharks have made three key additions to their roster. Acquiring goaltender Martin Jones from Boston (via Los Angeles) and signing free-agent defenseman Paul Martin and winger Joel Ward has filled three main areas of need. A year ago at this time, the Sharks were in a bizarre "rebuild," with pessimism...
Secondary Scoring Sparking Sharks' Final Stand

Secondary Scoring Sparking Sharks' Final Stand

April 4th, 2015 Pesky Sharks? While Team Teal doesn't deserve to be referred to as "those pesky Sharks", they are surprisingly still alive for another day. Realistically speaking, an incredibly disappointing regular season is still likely to end without a playoff berth for the first time in a decade. However, having gone 4-0-1 in their last five...
Sharks' Young Guys Not Waiting Around For Next Year

Sharks' Young Guys Not Waiting Around For Next Year

March 13th, 2015 Not Waiting Around Yesterday's column took a look at five San Jose Sharks players under 23 who are prime to take big strides in their games next season. Well, certainly three of those five, and you could argue four of the five, aren't waiting until next season to raise their games. On Thursday night in San Jose, the Sharks shutout...
5 Sharks Who Will Make Bigger Impacts Next Season

5 Sharks Who Will Make Bigger Impacts Next Season

March 12th, 2015 With the NHL regular season winding down and the San Jose Sharks possibly missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, it makes one wonder about 2016. If they do miss the playoffs here in 2015, will it be just a one year hiatus? As bad as this season has gone for the Sharks thus far, there is hope that a number of young guys will...
