San Jose Sharks FIGHT for Wild Card & Top Five Pick | Nick Leddy Has Been GOOD?!
San Jose Sharks walk a tightrope—are they playoff contenders or lottery favorites? With the Western Conference in chaos, the Sharks eye both a Wild Card spot and a top-five draft pick, keeping fans guessing until the final buzzer. JD Young spotlights Nick Leddy’s surprising turnaround since his return from the AHL, breaking down how the coaching staff’s adjustments and Letty’s offensive zone starts are fueling improved analytics.
Sharks prospects shine as the NCAA Frozen Four heats up. Eric Pohlkamp (Denver), Cole McKinney (Michigan), and David Klee (North Dakota) remain championship contenders, while Joey Muldowney’s future at UConn hangs in the balance. Key topics include regulation win tiebreakers, the playoff push against the Nashville Predators, and how prospect development impacts San Jose’s rebuild. Can the Sharks battle their way into postseason glory—or secure a top-tier talent for the future?

We all love being in the west. ILL BE HAPPY EITHER WAY
The thing Leddy is doing well, is he's not misplaying pucks. If he needs to get it out of the zone, he's getting it out. Klingberg was misplaying pucks and was slow in his decision making.
Let’s not kid ourselves, Leddy is still a liability, and it has more to do with who he is on the ice with, and not him.
I just hope we don’t end up in the wasteland picks of 10-15 if we miss the playoffs……really want a top 8 pick so we have a chance at either Verhoeff, Reid, Smits, Carels, and maybe Rudolph
Lol lets be real. Making the playoffs won't mean squat. Getting a STUD RHD could set up a dynasty
God bless the western conference
Not that they will make it very far in the playoffs but the radar and that is insane cause we had no shot 3 years ago.
Making the playoffs would be a disaster for us
