David Quinn has a lot of work ahead of him now that he’s been tabbed to be the next San Jose Sharks head coach.
Perhaps Quinn’s most important job will be trying to maximize the talents of the numerous veteran holdovers from last season’s team that went 32-37-13.
Only two NHL teams last season scored less than the Sharks, who had just three players eclipse the 20-goal mark, not nearly enough to overcome even occasional defensive breakdowns. The Sharks also ranked 21st in goals allowed.
