Are The San Jose Sharks A Playoff Team?

from Dieter Kurtenbach of the Mercury News,

Their era is nearing an end, as first signified by Marleau’s exit.

And yes, players like Vlasic (29), Logan Couture (28), defenseman Justin Braun (29), and goalie Martin Jones (age 28 season) are in those prime years, but that’s not a big enough group to overlook the overarching issue at hand.

The Sharks have a group of established, been-around-the-block players, and general manager Doug Wilson is keen to carry some young players that went deep in the playoffs last year with the team’s AHL affiliate on this year’s NHL roster.

Together, the veterans and the young players probably aren’t enough to make the playoffs, much less the Stanley Cup Final.
