My Takeaways From Warsofsky’s Introductory Press Conference

Ryan Warsofsky was introduced today as head coach, the 11th head coach in franchise history.

His predecessor, David Quinn — Warsofsky was an assistant coach under Quinn — lasted just two seasons, helming arguably the worst NHL team in three decades last year.

Bob Boughner, Quinn’s predecessor, lasted two-and-a-half seasons.

Pete DeBoer, Boughner’s predecessor, was the last head coach to lead the San Jose Sharks to the playoffs, all the way back in 2018-19.

So what’s going to be different under Warsofsky?
