Musty, selected 26th overall by the Sharks at the 2023 NHL Draft, requested a trade from the Wolves earlier in October. Sudbury's management said it would only deal the 6-foot-2, 205-pound forward if it were in the team's best interest but added that the 19-year-old would be welcomed back if he changed his mind.
Grier said last week that he supports Musty but doesn't want him to sit out much longer as he begins another critical year in his development. 'It's not ideal,' Grier said. 'We're trying to support (Musty) as much as we can, but it's definitely not an ideal situation for him to not be playing.'
Musty had been at his home in Western New York after the Sharks assigned him back to junior hockey on Sept. 30. Quentin Musty will return to the Sudbury Wolves this weekend, ending a nearly monthlong standoff that began when the San Jose Sharks prospect requested a trade from the Ontario Hockey League team.
Musty led the OHL in points per game in 2023-24, scoring 102 points in just 53 regular-season games for the Wolves. He also scored 10 points in eight playoff games, helping Sudbury advance to the second round.
