San Jose Sharks
Quentin Musty was returned to Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League on Monday.
The 19-year-old forward did not have a point in two preseason games. He was a first-round pick (No. 26) by the Sharks at the 2023 NHL Draft.
“Just inconsistency in his camp,” coach Ryan Warsofsky said. “[That’s] to be expected, to be honest. As a young kid, he’s just learning the pro game, the style, the speed, the pace, the details, and the habits you need to have to play this level, and they are just not there yet.”
Musty had 102 points (43 goals, 59 assists) in 53 games for Sudbury last season.
“I don’t think he’s outgrown [the OHL], but he’s going to have to work on details in his game so those bad habits don’t creep up again next training camp,” Warsofsky said.
Sam Dickinson was also returned to London of the OHL on Monday. The 18-year-old defenseman, who was selected with the No. 11 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, did not have a point in two preseason games.
Dickinson had 70 points (18 goals, 52 assists) in 68 games with London last season.
“He’s been through a lot. He’s had some ups and downs. He’s been inconsistent at times,” Warsofsky said. “… That’s a first-round pick. [We’ve got a] really good future in that defenseman.” — Max Miller
