Despite finishing last in the NHL for a second consecutive season, the San Jose Sharks demonstrated signs of improvement with a young core featuring promising rookies. General manager Mike Grier acknowledged the team's competitive play, though they still struggle to convert leads into wins, noting their 50 regulation losses. The Sharks improved their goal differential and showcased growth under first-year coach Ryan Warsofsky, yet recognize the need for significant improvements moving forward, particularly defensively, as they plan for an offseason focused on solidifying their gameplay.
"It was a step forward," general manager Mike Grier said. "It was disappointing to still finish the season where we did. It's still a wins and loss league at the end of the day."
"It was a season of frustration," first-year coach Ryan Warsofsky said. "I think there's some growth individually and as a group. But obviously we have a lot of work to do."
