The San Jose Sharks find themselves with a substantial $40 million in cap space, presenting a golden opportunity to strengthen their roster. In this episode, JD Young explores three compelling forward options that could inject much-needed scoring power into the team's middle six. At the top of the list is Andrew Mangiapane, a reliable 15-20 goal scorer who could offer excellent value on a projected four-year deal worth $4.2 million annually. Anthony Beauvillier emerges as another steady choice, consistently delivering 15-20 goals and 35-40 points each season. His projected three-year contract at $2.646 million could prove to be a bargain for the Sharks.Victor Olofsson rounds out the trio of potential additions, standing out as a possible steal for San Jose.
