Once we committed ourselves to the rebuild we had to steer straight.

Doug Wilson’s job as the general manager of the San Jose Sharks is officially safe.
On Thursday, team owner Hasso Plattner issued a lengthy, and at times vague letter to fans, in which he touched on a number of topics regarding his club that missed the playoffs for the first time in 11 seasons.
Although it wasn’t explicitly worded, according to a Sharks source, the letter serves as an endorsement for Wilson to return as the team’s top hockey executive for a 13th year.
