SEASON PREVIEW: Is this the year the San Jose Sharks EMERGE from their years-long rebuild and DON’T FINISH LAST?!

Can the Vancouver Canucks shake off an absolutely disastrous 2024-25? Are the San Jose Sharks ready to climb out of the league’s basement? Where exactly are the Seattle Kraken going? And are the Anaheim Ducks the most likely Pacific team to jump into the playoffs after missing last year? In a special Pacific Division Hopefuls round table preview, JD Young (Locked On Sharks), Kyle Kjer (Locked On Ducks), Trevor Beggs (Locked On Canucks) and Erica L. Ayala (Locked On Kraken) take stock of the Pacific’s basement dwellers, discuss whether each team will go over or under their FanDuel points projections, reasons for optimism with each team, major offseason additions, breakout candidates, and which team is the most likely to get back into the playoffs at season’s end.
