It is no secret that the San Jose Sharks have not done a great job of drafting and developing defensemen in recent years. I feel like I have read that somewhere very recently. It is possible that this could be changing, with the development of Mario Ferraro and possibly Jeremy Roy, if he can stay healthy. But the prospect who is most likely to change this is Ryan Merkley.
We here at Fear the Fin Hockey Blogging, Advanced Chemicals, & Fishmongers, LLC. are extremely excited that Doug Wilson called Ryan Merkley’s name on the Friday night in June.
