San Jose Sharks gear up for a breakout season as Will Smith emerges as an elite offensive force. Can he fine-tune his defensive game and become a true two-way weapon alongside Macklin Celebrini? Smith’s 24-goal, 59-point campaign in just 69 games marked a massive leap—raising expectations for a 30 to 35 goal season, especially with a retooled power play and improved chemistry on the top line.

JD Young breaks down Smith’s evolving role on the wing, his impressive primary assist rates, and the ongoing search for a stable third linemate. Analysis covers the Sharks’ roster rotation, the future impact of Michael Misa, and how Smith’s offseason training might unlock another level. Key questions include Smith’s consistency, late-game reliability, and potential to close the gap between Celebrini and the rest of the offense. Will Smith become the consistent difference-maker San Jose needs to make a playoff push?
