Will the San Jose Sharks' young guns ignite a breakout season? The potential of three rising stars poised to make waves in the NHL takes center stage in this episode.

Will Smith is tipped for a 70-point explosion after training with Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. Splitting Smith from Macklin Celebrini could supercharge the Sharks' offense. Shakir Mukhamadullin's defensive prowess comes into focus. Can he lock down 22 minutes a night and earn a long-term deal? Collin Graf emerges as San Jose's Swiss Army knife. From penalty kill specialist to offensive spark plug, Graf's versatility could be the secret weapon in the Sharks' arsenal.

The episode also tackles the Sharks' revamped blue line, featuring veterans like Orlov and Klingberg, and how it impacts the development of young defensemen. Plus, get the inside scoop on San Jose's evolving power play dynamics.

Tune in for expert analysis on how these breakout candidates could reshape the Sharks' fortunes and potentially put San Jose back on the NHL map.
