The San Jose Sharks were a disaster last season.
After being one of the model franchises for a decade, San Jose capitulated following their postseason collapse at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
However, following a season where he bickered with his best player, Doug Wilson redeemed himself by assembling perhaps the deepest Sharks team in recent memory.
It all began with reconciling with Joe Thornton at the end of last year and realizing that last year’s team was lacking in many key areas.
