It wouldn’t be a day before an NHL Entry Draft without some transaction that stirs up some drama around the league. On Thursday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks managed to raise some eyebrows.
Announced by the team, the Sharks acquired the 11th-overall pick in Friday night’s Round 1 of the 2024 NHL Draft, in exchange for their 14th overall, and the 42nd-overall pick. A very typical trade-up scenario where a team just goes up a couple spots for a decent second-round pick.
