SIMULATE OFFSEASON: A Conservative 2025 Offseason Could Lead To A MASSIVE 2026 Spending Spree

SIMULATE OFFSEASON: A Conservative 2025 Offseason Could Lead To A MASSIVE 2026 Spending Spree

Could the San Jose Sharks be gearing up for a major splash in 2026? JD Young's simulated offseason reveals a strategic approach that sets the stage for future aggression. From extending William Eklund to an 8-year, $8.5 million deal to drafting Michael Misa second overall, every move aims to balance talent acquisition with cap flexibility.

Young breaks down the Sharks' projected salary situation, highlighting a potential $52 million in cap space for the 2026-27 season. This financial freedom could allow GM Mike Grier to target high-profile free agents like Kyle Connor or Jack Eichel, accelerating the rebuild if young stars like Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith develop as hoped.

The host analyzes upcoming contract expirations, noting how they create opportunities to reshape the roster. With only a few long-term commitments on defense, the Sharks have room to promote prospects like Sam Dickinson or add established talent.

Young argues that while the Sharks may still struggle next season, the era of intentional "tanking" is likely over. He praises Grier's work in positioning the team for future success, suggesting that aggressive moves could come sooner than expected if the right opportunities arise.

Tune in to hear Young's detailed analysis of how the Sharks' current moves could lead to a transformative 2026 offseason and potentially accelerate their return to contention.

We cover the games against the Vegas Golden Knights and the Anaheim Ducks, eventually wrapping things up with a way to salvage the season for ourselves and a challenge for Sharks fans to keep things positive, no matter how much we would like to sink into the doom and gloom of going 0-3.Give the podcast a follow on Twitter @LockedOnSharks!

The San Jose Sharks have a back-to-back slate of Pacific Division rivalry games this weekend and Sie Morley (Fear the Fin, SB Nation NHL) and Kyle Demetrius (Fear the Fin) are sick of talking about the Vegas Golden Knights, so we did something a little different: answering your questions about the Knights and the Ducks ahead of Games 2 and 3. We discuss 90s logos versus now (and Kyle learns that a logo is not synonymous with a sweater), potential trade targets for Doug Wilson to start planning his scams, and how we're still confused about Dalton Prout existing on an NHL roster. Oh, and did you hear that Erik Karlsson is a father? We're very excited about that, too.Be sure to check out the podcast on Twitter, @LockedOnSharks. Learn more about your ad choices.
