SJHN Daily: Will Doesn’t Shut Down Karlsson/Burns Trade Talk, Jumbo Meets Kodak Black

The San Jose Sharks players at the World Championships are set.

On the Sharks’ side though, who isn’t going to Finland for the tournament that begins on May 13 is big news too.

Team Sweden released their roster yesterday and Erik Karlsson is not on it. Two weeks ago in his exit interview, Karlsson appeared to be considering it, his health a question mark though.

San Jose Hockey Now learned that Jonathan Dahlen was asked too, but like some NHL players on expiring contracts, the RFA declined.

There are plenty of Sharks in the water though.

USA has the most significant San Jose Sharks representation with Thomas Bordeleau, Sasha Chmelevski, and Jaycob Megna. Sharks prospect Strauss Mann will be between the pipes.

Tomas Hertl will bring the Sharks star power to Czechia. Radim Simek will be joining Hertl.

Like Hertl, Timo Meier will be a big part of Switzerland’s offense.

Rudolfs Balcers, according to Ulvis Broze, will be an alternate captain for Latvia.

Noah Gregor will be skating for Canada.

Sharks prospect Joachim Blichfeld will represent Denmark.
