The San Jose Sharks have blended a veteran-laden group with an infusion of youth to hopefully help the younger players take on bigger roles. However, to this point in the season, San Jose has relied way too heavily on their veteran players.
If the Sharks are going to have the kind of success they want to experience this year, San Jose needs much improved play from their younger players.
Currently, the Sharks are being led by their core of Joe Pavelski, Brent Burns, Joel Ward, Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton as they are the only San Jose players with double-digit points.
