Will San Jose Sharks Recall Igor Chernyshov? — Who Will Get the NHL CALL After the Trade Deadline?

San Jose Sharks prepare for a pivotal post-trade deadline roster shakeup—Igor Chernyshov’s NHL return looks inevitable, but which Barracuda prospects will join him? Is Chernyshov the key to unlocking new chemistry with Michael Misa and William Eklund as the Sharks ramp up their playoff push?

JD Young spotlights Chernyshov as the top recall candidate, breaks down the chances for Quentin Musty, Filip Bystedt, and Cam Lund, and questions which defensemen can step up—will Luca Cagnoni or Nolan Allan seize their NHL opportunity? Salary cap rules, injury workarounds, AHL playoff eligibility, and strategic forward/defense recalls shape the conversation. The Sharks’ decision on Bystedt’s future, Musty’s top-six fit, and Cagnoni’s power play potential could redefine San Jose’s late-season lineup. Can the Barracuda’s stars replicate their AHL success under NHL lights? Don’t miss this deep dive into Sharks’ roster strategy and prospects to watch as deadline drama unfolds.

  1. Musty or halttunen but I'd say Nolan Allen due to us needing defense
    But please make cherny be 1st in line to get called back up
    I want to see smith Celebrini cherny line up in action

  5. Glad you see the importance of the 'Cuda playoffs. I think the 'Cuda's playoff success is more important than the Sharks this season. Honestly, the Sharks don't need to add to their NHL roster. Too many guys are already sitting. So unless GMMG parts with Reaves and Goodrow, the spots aren't there. Have the tweeners play big minutes for the 'Cuda.

    Ostapchuk, Chernyshov, Lund, Bystedt, etc can grow a lot from being in big games. Which this season, happen in the Calder Cup playoffs. So get that team ready for a deep run. Not in smaller minute roles in the NHL.

  6. I dont see what tofolli has done to warrant a top 9 role this season. Hes been pretty bad, i would love to remake the fourth line and put him with ty kurashev

  8. After watching Cagnoni this year, he is slowly losing favor, especially with Pohlkamp coming. If Pohlkamp is the real deal, I feel that Cags opportunity to make the main roster is low. His production is lower this year and his defensive game is slowly improving, but not the best. So if he isn’t producing, he isn’t a big factor. Definitely no sandpaper to his game, he needs to add a little bit of that if he wants to survive because this year other teams are playing him more physical and he’s been banged up.

    Nolan Allan I think has a good game and already has some NHL games under his belt. I don’t think he gets called up, but I do think the Sharks have someone with Hache. Big defenseman, physical, sticks up for his teammates, stay at home D, needs work on his skating, but just like Allan they both actually play defense!
