Results for: Mikael Granlund

The San Jose Sharks have a busy offseason ahead of them, as they look to rebuild their team after a disappointing season. Here are three key areas they need to address:

1. **Hire a Head Coach:** The Sharks fired head coach David Quinn after two seasons, and they need to find a new coach who can help them develop their young players and build a winning culture.

2. **Determine Vlasic’s Future:** Longtime defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has been a healthy scratch on numerous occasions this season, and the Sharks need to decide whether to keep him on the roster or buy him out.

3. **Cash In on Granlund:** Center Mikael Granlund had a breakout season for the Sharks this year, and he is now a valuable trade chip. The Sharks should look to trade Granlund for future assets to help them rebuild.

Mikael Granlund, traded to the San Jose Sharks after a disappointing stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins, had a resurgence in his career. The 32-year-old led the Sharks in assists (48) and points (60) in 69 games, his fourth time reaching the 60-point mark. Granlund also provided invaluable mentorship and experience for the team’s young players.
