Sharks most surprising player



Sharks will announce their players of the year. But what do you think.

Who is the Sharks most surprising player of the Year? (That is the guy who did better than you thought.)

Options based on players on current roster.

Limited to the rookies and players acquired in the past season

Who is Brand Winchester?

I want to vote Handzus or White because I did not expect them to suck so much.

i would say desi, but then again i have hated him personally since his time in a greyhounds uniform so i am pretty biased when i say i never ever expected him to be anything more then a complete ahl bust.

I voted Handzus, but not in a good way. I had no idea he was so terrible. White has been worse than expected too, but I didn't really expect much from him anyway. I thought Handzus could put up 40 points, improve our PK, and hold down the third line center position. He has failed at all three.

Handzus. Was not prepared for how poorly he'd play. Such a shame, was expecting a solid defensive anchor for the third line who would provide much needed bottom six scoring. We got a rock, not the good kind.

Same. I was actually stoked on the signing. I never thought a hockey player could be so bad at hockey playing.

I wasn't a fan of Wingels last year or in the beginning of this one. But, he has added an element of physicality and of defensive awareness that I didn't know he had.

That said, I give the slight edge to Desjardins.

Zus...
Why is he so bad? I expected 40 points 3C from him.

has to be zeus. guy has been epically bad, looks lost on the ice, and hasn't produced anything. 2.5 mil x 2 years is just horrible. really don't know what else to say. hopefully he gets bought out.

Had to go with Winchester, almost everyone thought he would be a total flop.

Jamie McGi... ahhh ****.

Tommy Wingels. Didn't expect him to stick like he did. He definitely leap-frogged over some other guys.

Voted for Wingels. I feel Justin Braun was deserving.

I said Havlat but only because that despite being out from injury for so long, it seems like hes stepped it up. I think he'll play big in the playoffs.

playoffs what are those? haven't you been reading the board lately? the sharks are a lottery pick team and should be blown apart to start over. every one should be traded/fired. and the sharks should then be put into a expansion draft to fill out the roster.

Desi challenges for the spot. He's been quite a bit better than I expected, but Wingels is a huge surprise in my eyes and I'm not going to vote for someone that surprised me in a bad way.

Havlat. Well, more specifically: Havlat's genes.

I was surprised by how accurately many fans last summer predicted for him another season riddled with injury.

And then when I saw him play in March, I was surprised by how much more spectacular his career could have been without all those injuries.

Could some kind of Silicon Valley turbo-charged hormone replacement therapy dreamt up by NASA and Google and Genentech scientists replace all his injury-prone genes this summer?

Get on it, Doug. Use the Force or something.
