Andrew Poturalski, who led the AHL with 73 points this season, was named the league's MVP while playing for the San Jose Barracuda. He stepped up to play three games for the NHL's Sharks due to injuries among key forwards. However, upon returning from a break, he was sent back to the AHL and expressed disappointment at not having the chance to prove himself in the NHL. Despite his contract with the Sharks for another season, Poturalski remains uncertain about his future in the league, as he balances gratitude for his time in the minors with aspirations of returning to the NHL.
"I want that opportunity to show that I can play at that level, and I feel like it should be for me to decide, and nobody else."
"It was a little frustrating on that standpoint to not get a full chance with the Sharks. I guess I kind of get it, but I don't agree with it."
