Givani Smith has been placed on waivers by the San Jose Sharks, reflecting a shift in team dynamics favoring younger players like Ethan Cardwell and Klim Kostin.
Smith, who averaged only 6:17 of ice time this season, has fallen down the Sharks' depth chart, unable to secure a roster spot amid injuries to other forwards.
The Sharks' management decision to call up Ethan Cardwell over Smith during recent injuries highlights the team’s focus on developing younger talent moving forward.
Klim Kostin’s performance during the season has influenced the Sharks’ strategy, resulting in Smith’s demotion as the team prioritizes players who can contribute more effectively.
