SAN JOSE – Before this year’s San Jose Sharks training camp, forward Carson Wetsch was perhaps best known — at least around this area — as being a childhood friend of Macklin Celebrini.
But Wetsch made a name for himself in recent days, particularly in the eyes of Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky.
“Every single day, he has gotten better and more comfortable, as I would think he would say,” Warsofsky said this week of Wetsch. (“He’s) playing with the puck more, the game’s slowing down for him a little bit, completely locked in (during) video meetings.
“Guys are asked to answer (questions), and he’s ready with the answer, and he pays attention. Not only does he pay attention in here, he goes out there and he does it right.”
Wetsch, selected 82nd overall by the Sharks last year, 81 spots behin
