With training camp just around the corner, it's the perfect time to examine some of the interesting battles that will unfold during camp. The Sharks have brought in many new faces and have some key battles to watch heading into camp. I'm going to be looking at 3 of the key battles to watch this pre-season.
4th-line-Center
Favorite: Zack Ostapchuck
Wild-Card: Filip Bystedt
The 4th line center position is probably the most open competition among the Sharks' forward group. Ostapchuck, Goodrow, and Dellandrea are all options that were on the team last season and spent time in this role.
