Episode Details

San Jose Sharks’ defensive prospects face the spotlight as questions loom over Luca Cagnoni’s dip in production—is it bad puck luck, power play adjustments, or a sign of concern? JD Young explores Cagnoni’s evolving role with the San Jose Barracuda, the underlying stats behind his scoring slump, and why his development trajectory remains promising for fans hoping to see impact at the NHL level.

Spotlights shift to Eric Pohlkamp’s offensive firepower with the University of Denver—will his transition-first style translate to the NHL, or are growing pains ahead amid the Sharks’ defensive system? Plus, Haoxi Wang’s increased confidence and physicality after his move to the Niagara IceDogs spark hope for future San Jose blue line depth. Can these prospects accelerate the Sharks’ rebuild, or does patience remain key? Get crucial updates, scouting insights, and bold projections as JD Young breaks down the path forward for San Jose’s next wave on defense.
