Among 32 NHL teams, one stood out this summer as the deepest in blue-chip talent and strongest across the board: the San Jose Sharks. Michael Misa adds a deadly one-two punch down the middle, while Sam Dickinson could emerge as an offensive and physical specimen in the NHL as early as this season, and Yaroslav Askarov takes strides toward a starting role in net. The depth of the pool stands out, too, with sniper Joey Muldowney catching on goalscoring fire. But what sets this crop of youngsters apart
