15 games into the Sharks 2015 season and we're an average team in the weakest division. They're sitting at a measly 7-8. Sharks won the first 4 games and jumped out to a quick 8 points and first place. Then Logan Couture went down in a practice with a broken Fibula. Since then the Sharks have gone an abysmal 3-8. According to initial reports he was scheduled to be out 4-6 weeks and it was released last week he is on schedule and 2 weeks away from returning. I don't know how much this has affected the Sharks overall performance but I'm hoping it is the reason for the sudden change in play.
Joel Ward has shown up this year and is tied for the team lead in goals with Joe Pavelski for 8 goals.
Martin Jones started out incredible and set the Sharks franchise record for longest continuous shut out but since then has completely cooled off and actually been pulled from 2 of his last 3 starts. Of course as I'm typing this he's playing very well against Detroit.
The biggest news of the season has easily been the Marleau trade rumors. He currently has a no trade clause but he came out earlier this week and

Little Joe. A guy who's been with the organization his entire career, was drafted 205th overall in 2003 and hasn't looked back since. A great guy, with a level head and a great choice.
Season Prediction:
44-31-7 with 95pts.
In a tough Western Conference and an even tougher Pacific Division that might place them 3rd in the Division or possibly in one of the wild card spots.

-It was sometimes painful to watch the big lefty come in for relief. A career 3.05ERA out of the Giants pen doesn't make you go nuts. During the regular season, Affeldt had a tendency to be boom or bust.
