Unveiling the Surprising NHL Offseason Makeovers: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the League?
Jeff Skinner is one of the bigger names and he’s usually at his best on bad teams. He has the offensive ability to play in the top six, but doesn’t have the defensive chops to make it work in the bottom six on a good team. Here, he’s home and should fit the Mikael Granlund void fine.
The bigger story here is on the back end. Dmitry Orlov gives the Sharks a legitimate top-four defenseman, while John Klingberg has the potential to be that if he can keep up his playoff turnaround. At the very least, one of the two will give the Sharks a real power-play QB, something they were missing after moving Jake Walman. Nick Leddy isn’t more than a third-pair defenseman, but even that is an improvement over someone such as Marc-Edouard Vlasic or Henry Thrun.
