The San Jose Sharks need defensive help and more money on the books. Could Nick Leddy help with both? JD Young analyzes the team's latest transactions, beginning with veteran defenseman Nick Leddy hitting waivers. This unexpected development could provide a boost to San Jose's blue line if they opt to claim him. The podcast also covers the surprising Thomas Bordeleau trade and the signing of John Klingberg, which adds offensive skill to the Sharks' defense corps.

Goaltending sees a new face with Alex Nedeljkovic joining the crease competition. Young examines whether Nedeljkovic can recapture his rookie form and challenge for playing time in San Jose. The episode also explores how forward additions Philipp Kurashev and Adam Gaudette bring depth and potential to the Sharks' attack, even if they're not game-changers.

From waiver wire pickups to free agent signings, this podcast offers in-depth analysis of how these moves are shaping the Sharks' roster. Young provides insights into how these new players might fit into the lineup and affect San Jose's on-ice strategy. While these acquisitions may not vault the Sharks into immediate playoff contention, listeners will gain a clear picture of the team's ongoing rebuild and how these moves fit into their long-term plans.
