The San Jose Sharks’ rebuild is over!
Hate it or love it, this is GM Mike Grier’s vision for a winning Sharks team: He signed Jacob Trouba and Mason Marchment to big deals, and traded for Darnell Nurse.
NHL Network’s Jason Demers shares his thoughts — also, read and watch more of Demers’s thoughts on the San Jose Sharks at The Bite:
Demers and the San Jose Hockey Now team like what Grier is doing, though we all recognize the risks.
We also say good-bye to Mario Ferraro and discuss Ivar Stenberg’s impressive showing so far at development camp.
