Chapter 1: What updates are there on Michael Misa's status with the San Jose Sharks?
For the San Jose Sharks is January 8th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. Looks like Michael Misa is sticking around with the San Jose Sharks for the rest of the season. The team's head coach, Ryan Worsofsky, confirmed on Wednesday that the young forward will join their next practice on January 9th.
Mesa, the Sharks' number two pick in the 2025 draft, has already played seven NHL games.
After tonight's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose faces the Dallas Stars on January 10th and the Vegas Golden Knights on January 11th.
Chapter 2: What challenges does Misa face with the CHL trade deadline approaching?
Warsawski expects Mesa to be available for those games, which lines up with reports from team sources. The timing is tight because of the CHL trade deadline on January 10th. If Misa doesn't report back to a CHL roster by then, he can't play for his OHL team, the Saginaw Spirit, or any other junior squad for the remainder of the season.
Chapter 3: How might Misa's decision impact his NHL contract status?
At this point, he can realistically only suit up in the NHL or the OHL. Industry insiders are confident he'll stay put with the Sharks. That means he'll likely hit his 10th NHL game soon, burning the first year of his entry-level contract. We'll know for sure by January 10th, but all the signs point to Misa finishing the year in San Jose. This DNN story comes to you thanks to our sponsor.
