Over the last 12 months or so, General Manager Doug Wilson has gone all in for the San Jose Sharks. He’s traded away first round picks and young NHL players with the hopes of bringing a Stanley Cup to San Jose. As a result, there’s not a lot of draft picks on the table for San Jose this year.
Barring a crazy trade by Wilson, the Sharks will not have a first-round pick in this year’s draft or next. But the Sharks have traditionally picked well in the later rounds, so San Jose still has the opportunity to add some quality young players to the prospect pool.
