Even though training camp and the preseason are in full swing, the San Jose Sharks roster will not be final until almost opening night. Some players are obviously locked in, such as Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, but not everyone from last year has a guaranteed chance. Some of the younger players in the organization are on the bubble and will either make the opening night roster or be sent back down to the San Jose Barracuda.
There are a few players - Kevin Labanc, Timo Meier, and Marcus Sorensen - who are likely, but not guaranteed, to crack the opening night line up.
