The San Jose Sharks have made a significant move by placing defensemen Jack Thompson and Lucas Carlsson on waivers. This decision comes as the team re-evaluates its roster and seeks to make adjustments ahead of the upcoming games. While both players have shown potential, the Sharks are looking to optimize their lineup to improve their performance this season.

Jack Thompson, a promising young defenseman, has displayed his skills in various capacities but hasn’t consistently found his footing with the Sharks. Lucas Carlsson, known for his solid defensive play, brings experience but hasn’t been able to secure a regular spot on the team. By placing them on waivers, the Sharks open the door for potential changes that could benefit their lineup.

This move reflects a growing trend within the NHL where teams are keen on cultivating their rosters to ensure success. With a competitive season ahead, the Sharks are clearly focused on making the necessary changes to push for better results. Fans will be eager to see how this impacts the team's dynamics moving forward.
