San Jose Sharks’ 2023 first-round draft pick joins AHL affiliate

SAN JOSE – Forward Quentin Musty, one of the Sharks’ two first-round draft picks in 2023, has arrived in San Jose and is expected to begin practicing with the team’s AHL affiliate, the Barracuda, on Tuesday.

Musty, 19, had been expected to join the Barracuda after his fourth and likely final season of junior hockey ended last week, as he and the Sudbury Wolves were swept in their best-of-7 series against the Kingston Frontenacs in the opening round of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs.
