The San Jose Sharks lock up key center Alex Wennberg with a three-year, $18 million contract extension. Has Mike Grier found the perfect bridge as the next wave arrives? JD Young breaks down why Wenberg’s age, role, and skill set make him an ideal fit as the emerging 3C, especially with Michael Misa and Macklin Celebrini poised to take over the top-six spots.
The episode explores how Wennberg’s deal stacks up against other NHL centers, San Jose’s evolving roster strategy, and the Sharks’ focus on building a future playoff contender. With shutdown defense, leadership, and flexibility as Wennberg’s calling cards, JD Young examines how the Wennberg extension affects the timeline for prospects such as Cole McKinney. Can this extension signal a shift from selling assets to constructing a sustainable core? Get all the details on where the Sharks go next.
