Michael Misa's entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks is official, marking a new era for the team's future. This dynamic dual-threat center brings exceptional skills and a machine-like motor to the NHL, drawing comparisons to top prospect Macklin Celebrini.

JD Young breaks down Misa's impressive OHL stats, including 62 goals and 72 assists in 65 games, and analyzes his potential impact on the Sharks' lineup. The discussion explores how Misa fits into San Jose's long-term plans alongside Will Smith and Celebrini, potentially forming a formidable center trio reminiscent of the Edmonton Oilers' McDavid-Draisaitl duo.

Young predicts Misa's rookie season trajectory, from starting on the third line to potentially playing 18-19 minutes per game by season's end. He also shares insights on Misa's summer training with NHL players and his living arrangements with Tyler Toffoli's family.

Tune in to hear why Misa's signing is "100% the right move" for both player and team, and how he could reshape the San Jose Sharks' future.
