Based on the results of the 2021 NHL Draft Lottery and the 2021 season, the San Jose Sharks will draft seventh-overall in the 2021 Entry Draft. Just one team moved up as a result of the lottery; the Seattle Kraken are the first expansion team to win a lottery selection, leap-frogging over the Anaheim Ducks for second overall. The Buffalo Sabres, who had the league’s worst record in 2021, will select first overall.
Owen Power, a 6-foot-6 defender at the University of Michigan currently tops the North American Central Scouting rankings, but the top ten is stocked with talent.
