"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."
"Misa said last week, before the start of the Golden State Rookie Faceoff in Anaheim, that he felt he had the offensive game to earn an NHL job out of camp, but that he needed to show the Sharks he could also take care of pucks and be responsible in the defensive zone. Warsofsky has liked what he has seen from the skilled Misa, who was the CHL's leading scorer last season with 134 points in 65 games with Saginaw, in that respect as well."
Michael Misa has not yet made the Sharks' opening-night roster but has impressed during the first days of training camp. He centered a line with William Eklund and Igor Chernyshov during a scrimmage as the team installs systems with three weeks before the regular season. Coach Ryan Warsofsky called Misa his biggest surprise, noting Misa handled the camp's pace and bright lights without looking out of place. Misa, taken second overall after 134 points in 65 OHL games, said his offensive game can earn a job but he must improve puck care and defensive responsibility. Warsofsky also praised Sam Dickinson, Quentin Musty, and Carson Wetsch.
