Mike Grier Wants Quentin Musty-Sudbury Wolves Impasse Resolved

Quentin Musty hasnt played a game in over three weeks, and Mike Grier wants that to change.

The San Jose Sharks re-assigned Musty back to the Sudbury Wolves on Sept.

30.

The No.

26 pick of the 2023 Draft had enjoyed a banner season with the Wolves last year, totaling 102 points in just 53 games, pacing the OHL in points per game average.

A week later, Jeff Marek reported that Quentin Musty was seeking a trade.

San Jose Hockey Now confirmed the trade request with Mustys agent.

That day, the Wolves also released a cutting statement about Mustys request.

Now, 10 games into the Sudbury season, Musty still hasnt suited up, for the Wolves or any other team.

Grier didnt want to get into why the top San Jose Sharks prospect asked to be moved, saying it was between Mustys camp and Sudbury, but stressed that hed like the standoff to end, and soon.

Its not ideal.

I think were trying to support Q as much as we can, but its definitely not an ideal situation for him to not be playing, Grier said on Monday.

At the same time, weve kind of let the agent know that there needs to be a resolution to this thing here pretty quickly.

No doubt, Musty has to start playing if hes going to be part of Team USA at the 2025 World Junior Championships.

World Juniors is a goal of his.

Wherever he goes, or ends up going back to Sudbury, whatever it may be.

Hes basically gonna have a month to try and show USA Hockey that hes their guy, Grier noted.

So little bit of pressure on himself.

Grier isnt worried about the layoff hurting Mustys development...for now.

He had good development work here with us in training camp.

I think he was ready to hit the ground running there for Sudbury.

But now, its a couple weeks of not doing anything.

So its not great, the San Jose Sharks GM said.

I dont think its hindering his development at this point.

But if it starts to drag on too long, I dont think itll be great.
