Which Sharks prospects have impressed coach Ryan Warsofsky early in camp?

""He's probably surprised me the most," Warsofsky said of Misa. "First year training camp in the National Hockey League, it can be (like a) deer in the headlights. The bright lights are on, the big boys are out there, the pace is high, and he doesn't really look out of place right now. "It's still early, it's two days, but I think he's done a really good job.""

""It's going to be an adjustment, for sure," Misa said about his defense. "Like any young player trying to make the NHL, just bigger players down low, trying to get them up against the wall and stuff like that. But each day I think I've been doing a better job of it.""

""Some of the defensive drills we did today, he was picking up the concepts pretty quickly," Warsofsky said. "That was really good to see.""

Michael Misa, 18, has not yet made San Jose's opening-night roster but has impressed during the first two days of training camp. Misa centered a line with William Eklund and Igor Chernyshov during a Friday scrimmage as the Sharks install systems with three weeks before the regular season. The second-overall pick in June led the CHL with 134 points in 65 games for Saginaw and appears to be a quick learner at the NHL level. Coaching staff observed Misa picking up defensive concepts quickly while Misa acknowledged defensive adjustments against bigger players and said he is improving daily. The staff has also been encouraged by Sam Dickinson, Quentin Musty and Carson Wetsch.
