Sharks mailbag: Fixing the bottom six

Will the #SJSharks organization seriously look at the continued issues of the bottom six, or can the fans expect more of the same? (Ryan Bayer @81Bayer)

Sharks owner Hasso Plattner commented on the Sharks’ lack of depth on May 8, when he said: “We hope that some of our young players can make it this fall so that we have a three-and-a-half to four line team.” San Jose got virtually nothing from its bottom two lines last season, despite Todd McLellan trying every combination under the sun.

The bottom line is that the players just weren’t good enough, and the mixing and matching was an exercise in futility.
