Exploring Options for San Jose Sharks’ 2C Position: Alex Wennberg, Dylan Cozens, Or Marco Rossi?

Who will step up as the San Jose Sharks’ new second-line center? With Mikael Granlund’s departure, the Sharks face a pivotal decision that could shape their season. This episode explores the potential internal and external candidates for the 2C role, examining the strengths and challenges each option presents.

Alex Wennberg emerges as a strong internal contender, with his experience and versatility making him a likely choice. Meanwhile, the promising Will Smith is considered, though his readiness remains a topic of debate. The episode also examines Andrew Poturalski’s potential impact from the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda.

Externally, the Sharks might look to Dylan Cousins of the Buffalo Sabres, a young center with NHL experience, or Marco Rossi from the Minnesota Wild, whose rising star power could come at a cost. The discussion includes salary cap implications and strategic fits for these players.

Tune in to hear expert analysis and insights on the Sharks’ strategic moves and player development.

  1. If Grier could somehow finagle his way to ship wennberg to Buffalo with the late first and maybe a prospect like havelid? I don’t think buff needs any more forward prospects, but idk abt giving up havelid

  3. I could see Cozens doing well with Zetterlund and Toffoli. Give him some Vets that can help him out. That would put Eklund, and the Boston Alums together. Cozens value is way down right now though. His 31G season from two years ago if firmly in the rearview mirror. Will Smith is giving the Sharks just about the same production as Cozens is giving Buffalo. So, it would be a definite buy low situation. Buffalo has all their retention slots too. Even a 16% retention would be good to bring him down to a 6M cap hit for the Sharks. I really like the out of the box thinking, but I would not use a 1st on Cozens.

  4. Definitely great idea to get Cozens but I would not give away 1st round from Dallas to trade for him. For Rossi it’s probably more worth to do it. But I still don’t think that this is a doable trade for the Sharks because both of those teams will be intersted in NHL players more than picks and prospects imo. Anyway, hopefully MG will use the 1st rounder from Dallas for a good player and not to draft someone.
