The San Jose Sharks have opened training camp!

Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and beer league champ Zubair Jeewanjee react to Rookie Faceoff and GM Mike Grier’s training camp availability.

We discuss Will Smith staying at wing, Grier’s reaction to Marc-Edouard Vlasic’s unhappiness with his buyout and Ryane Clowe’s departure to the New York Rangers, and Dan shares how he avoided involvement in the infamous Jeremy Roenick “Scare Tactics” prank.

We also debate who should be the San Jose Sharks’ next captain, Barclay Goodrow or Tyler Toffoli.
