It looks like the San Jose Sharks may soon have a new head coach. According to multiple sources, Ryan Warsofsky remains the top contender for the job. One insider even described him as the frontrunner at this point. Another potential candidate is Marco Sturm, who is also being considered. Other rumored candidates include Jeff Blashill, Jeff Halpern, and Jeremy Colliton.
If Warsofsky gets the job, it would be a full circle moment for him. He previously interviewed for the position in the summer of 2022 before David Quinn was hired.

He played a key role in helping Erik Karlsson have a standout season, where he recorded 101 points and was a Norris Trophy finalist. Additionally, San Jose’s penalty kill unit finished eighth in the NHL under Warsofsky’s guidance.
Overall, it seems like Warsofsky is in a strong position to land the head coaching job with the Sharks. Keep an eye out for updates on this developing story.
