Sharks general manager Mike Grier would like to have someone in place before NHL Draft
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 26: Fans wait to enter the San Jose Sharks game against the Arizona Coyotes at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Monday, April 26, 2021. This is the first time fans have been allowed in the arena this season. SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks are in the final stages of their search for a new head coach but there remains no firm timeline for having someone in place, a source indicated Wednesday.
Sharks’ general manager Mike Grier recently said on one of the team’s podcasts, “The Undercurrent with Tara Slone,” that he hoped to hire a coach before the NHL Draft near the end of this month, specifically to get their input on the free agent decisions the team will have to make. “It’s been good. The people we’ve talked to all have interviewed well,” Grier said on the podcast. “The candidates, we feel really, really happy with and strongly that they’ll be able to help nurture our young group.”
Grier said he had modest expectations, at best, for the 2023-24 season after trading both forward Timo Meier, one of the team’s leading scorers, and three-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson. Still, he felt the team needed a new voice after Quinn had been on the job for two years.
