The San Jose Barracuda's offseason shake-up promises a new era for the AHL affiliate. With key departures like league MVP Andrew Poturalski, the team's identity is set to evolve. JD Young breaks down the Barracuda's roster overhaul, analyzing newcomers Jimmy Huntington and Shane Bowers alongside returning talent. He explores the potential impact of rookies Igor Chernyshov, Quentin Musty, Cam Lund, and Kasper Halttunen on the team's depth and consistency.

Young examines how these changes might affect special teams, particularly the power play that led the AHL last season. He also discusses the challenges of replacing top-end AHL talent and the expectations for a more balanced lineup. The host weighs in on whether improved depth can offset the loss of star power and lead to steadier performances throughout the season.

Tune in for an in-depth analysis of how the Barracuda's offseason moves could shape their upcoming campaign. Young provides insights into the team's new dynamics and how these changes might impact the San Jose Sharks' development pipeline. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the Barracuda's transformation and what fans can expect in the coming season.
