EP Rinkside 2022 NHL Prospect Pool Rankings: No. 11-ranked San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks as a team could be best described with David Bowie's timeless classic Changes.

With longtime General Manager Doug Wilson and Dir. of Scouting Doug Wilson Jr. both leaving the organization, Mike Grier and Chris Morehouse have stepped in to fill their respective roles.

The short-term outlook for the Sharks NHL roster may be grim as ever, but new management is inheriting one of the league's most well-stocked cupboards on the prospect front. There's hope for the future. A top 15 prospect pool vast in its depth and punctuated at the top by three players in the Elite Prospects Top 100 Affiliated Skaters Prospect ranking offers promise for a better tomorrow.

So, the objective going into next season? Keep on building that prospect pool until it starts to bear fruit at the NHL level in the form of the next great Sharks core.
