As was the case before, we will look at all three positional groups and see which team is favored in each.
Forwards:
San Jose boasts a really good balance of wiley veterans and talented youth. They are led by Tomas Hertl, who is in the midst of a career year, and Logan Coture, who continues to impress. Hertl leads all Sharks forwards with 33 goals and 32 assists. Joe Pavelski remains dangerous with the puck on his stick, netting 37 goals. If anyone was wondering whether Jumbo Joe Thornton would have any value, after his injury troubles last season, you need not worry, as he has potted 16 goals and 30 assists in a diminished role.
