SAN JOSE – With the San Jose Sharks upgrading their roster for the upcoming season and enjoying a newfound excitement around the team, it’s natural to wonder when they might start to become legitimate playoff contenders again.
“I don’t really want to put exact timelines on things here. I think we just need to keep getting better and keep moving forward,” Grier said Saturday after the Celebrini signing was announced. “That’s what I’d like to see with the group that we have here, is getting better and pushing things forward.
Grier would also like to see forwards Fabian Zetterlund and William Eklund take a step in their growth this upcoming season. Playing almost exclusively in a top-six role, Zetterlund had a career-high 24 goals and 44 points last season, and Eklund, in his first full NHL season, had 45 points.“They’ll have another year of experience in the league under their belts. So hopefully, those guys can keep growing and taking steps as well,” Grier said.
Grier said Houda, with his 19 years of experience as an NHL assistant coach, “kind of balances out our staff in general.”
