Luca Cagnoni, a fourth-round pick by the San Jose Sharks in 2023, is set to compete for a roster spot in the upcoming training camp next month. At 5-foot-9, Cagnoni's size has contributed to his draft slide, but he is recognized for his offensive talents from the blue line. He recorded 95 points in 131 games with the San Jose Barracuda, though he has yet to score in his nine NHL games. As a 21-year-old, he remains in the early stages of his career with potential to impact the Sharks' power play if he secures a position on the roster.
