The Sharks loaned Musty from OHL Sudbury to AHL San Jose on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Musty will embark on his professional career after Sudbury was eliminated in the first round of the OHL playoffs against Kingston last week. The left-shot winger amassed 30 goals and 59 points over 33 appearances with the Wolves this season. The 2023 first-round selection (No. 26 overall) is only 19 years old, and considering the Sharks are far from being in win-now mode, Musty should be expected to be given plenty of time to develop with the Barracuda. However, with the potential of playing alongside a gifted center in Macklin Celebrini in the future, Musty is an intriguing player to keep tabs on going forward.

Musty has been a standout performer with OHL Sudbury in 2024-25, recording 17 goals and 35 points in 22 outings.

EDGE Analysis

Musty missed about two months of the season due to injury, per Ben Leeson of the Sudbury Star, but he's been effective when healthy. Although missing a chunk of the campaign obviously isn't good for Musty's development, the 19-year-old could eventually turn into a solid top-six forward for the Sharks, who selected him with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Musty will likely get a long look during next season's training camp, though it wouldn't be surprising if San Jose ultimately decides at that time that he needs more seasoning rather than having him jump right to the NHL from the junior ranks.

Musty signed a three-year, entry-level contract with San Jose on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Musty recorded 26 goals, 78 points and 71 PIM in 53 contests with OHL Sudbury in 2022-23. The Sharks selected him with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.
