Forward Logjam and Will Smith Contract Deadline

The Sharks have a logjam of forward prospects including Will Smith (Sept 15 deadline for projected $12.5M eight-year deal), Bystedt, Musty, Chernyshov, and Marchment. Michael Misa's high-end depth adds to the pipeline strength. Smith's extension is a key priority with cap space available. Stenberg expectations and Bystedt/Musty development remain in focus.
