On the record
Called Shots →Neither Filip Bystedt nor Quentin Musty is on San Jose's active roster for the Sharks' 2026-27 regular-season opener against Florida on October 1, 2026. Scored off the roster San Jose dresses and reports for that game: if either man appears in the box score, or is listed on the club's active roster rather than as a healthy scratch sent to the AHL, the call is a miss. Both absent is a hit. If the opener is postponed or the season does not begin on schedule, the row resolves against San Jose's first regular-season game actually played.
At least one San Jose player who has never appeared in an NHL regular-season game dresses for all four of the Sharks' 2026-27 preseason games.
Quentin Musty plays at least one NHL regular-season game in 2026-27, after playing zero in 2025-26.
Written about him
If Quentin Musty Makes The Sharks Out Of Camp, It Will Be For A Skill He Has Not Shown
Quentin Musty shot 168 times in 61 American Hockey League games last season and scored 21 goals, a 12.5 percent conversion rate on the highest volume in the organization. He is the highest-ceiling forward outside San Jose's opening 23 and the one most likely to be told to wait. The camp spot everybody imagines him winning is the wrong door, because the door that opens in September leads to a checking job and the recall in December leads to the one he can actually do.
San Jose Called Up Its Forwards In A Different Order Than The Barracuda Scored Them
Nine forwards signed for 2026-27 played for the San Jose Barracuda last season. Ranked by points per game, the top of that list played zero NHL games and the bottom two played 62 of the group's 142. The jobs at the bottom of San Jose's lineup are ten-minute checking jobs, and four veterans are signed to do them.

Two good problems named Bystedt and Musty
The Sharks spent four years with a forward cupboard so empty it echoed. They fixed it so thoroughly that two former first-round picks just had excellent seasons and could not find
