Going into yesterday, the San Jose Sharks were anticipating the possibility of sitting out of the second round, but thanks to a nifty deal with the Arizona Coyotes, they added two second-round selections (34th overall and 45th overall), the first of which they used to select center Cameron Lund from the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers.
A native of Bridgewater, Mass., the freshly 18-year-old Lund was mostly ranked early in the second round, though some rankings had him falling deeper into the draft. It seems as though the Sharks have little interest in the players who have surprisingly fallen off the board and have specific players in mind to target, as it seems likely based on rankings that Lund would’ve been available at the Sharks’ second selection in this round.
