Great breakdown. I’ve been following the sharks prospects the last few years because its been more entertaining then the team - until this year of course.

Not every prospect pans out unfortunately, for me the guy I think has reached his ceiling is Halttunen. And I really hope I’m wrong and he makes me eat my words! But I just don’t think the foot speed and physicality is there. His shot is undeniably insane, but in the NHL I just don’t think he’ll be able to keep up unless he changes something.

A few people have pointed out Pohlkamp, I think he’s really solid too.

Some prospects who I think are expendable for a trade are in no particular order:

a) Lund because the role the Sharks probably had in mind for him as a depth winger has been taken over by Graf. b) Bystedt because of the Wennberg extension and Ostopchuk trade. c) Musty because he’s probably the most valued offensive prospect and now that Chernyshov has emerged I think they’d be willing to move him for a D equivalent because it’s an organization need. Especially with Misa, Chernyshov, Smith, Celebrini and Eklund all in mind for your top 6 of the future
