At the start of last season, the San Jose Sharks did not expect that they would see their star player and captain Joe Pavelski leave them for another team in free agency.
Just a few days away from training camp, head coach Peter DeBoer and general manager Doug Wilson are in a situation where they are trying to find their next captain and the players that will fill the shoes of the former captain.
The Sharks drafted Joe Pavelski 205th overall in the 2003 NHL draft and would see him turn into the two-time 38-goal scorer that he was.
