The San Jose Sharks' opening night roster is set, with JD Young breaking down final cuts, roster decisions, and salary cap implications for the new NHL season.

Young analyzes the team's $2.3 million projected cap space allocation across the roster. He explores young prospects Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson's status, urging patience in their development while comparing to Will Smith's journey last year. The host speculates on potential line combinations, including top six forwards and goalie rotation between Nedeljkovic and Askarov.

With four under-20 players on the team, Young stresses long-term progress over immediate results. He encourages fans to focus on key prospects' development like Macklin Celebrini and William Eklund throughout the 82-game season.

Tune in for expert analysis on the Sharks balancing present competitiveness with future potential under GM Mike Grier and new head coach Ryan Warsofsky.
