Sharks Face Imminent Decision on Misa’s Future
The San Jose Sharks face crucial decisions regarding their roster, particularly about the future of rookie Michael Misa. Having played six games, Misa is on the brink of reaching the 10-game mark, which would trigger the first year of his entry-level contract. With just four games remaining to make this decision, the team is weighing its options.
Sharks’ Decision on Misa’s Future
Currently, Misa has netted one goal and two assists, totaling three points. Despite his commendable start, the Sharks are not projected to be a strong contender this season. This raises the possibility of sending him back to the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).
Prospects for Misa
- Misa has played six games in the NHL.
- He has one goal and two assists, totaling three points.
- The Sharks could retain him but risk his development by having him in and out of the lineup.
- Alternatively, they might trade him to a competing team aiming for a championship.
A decision regarding Misa’s future is expected in the next week to ten days. However, the immediate focus remains on Sam Dickinson, who is similarly under consideration. The Sharks are expected to make a decision about Dickinson as soon as this weekend.
Additional Sharks News
Beyond Misa, other players are also in the spotlight. Defenseman Mario Ferraro, a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), may also be on the move as various contenders eye his defensive capabilities for a playoff push.
In recent games, the Sharks celebrated several milestones. They secured their first home victory against the New Jersey Devils and honored forward Alex Wennberg, who played in his 800th career game this season. Additionally, the Sharks unveiled their ‘Heritage 2.0’ alternate jersey for the 2025-26 season, rekindling 90s nostalgia among fans.
As the Sharks navigate these pivotal decisions, fans are eager to see how the team’s roster will shape up for the remainder of the season.
