The San Jose Sharks are set for a critical second day at the NHL Entry Draft, holding seven additional picks after selecting Michael Misa and Josh Ravensbergen. Despite criticism from fans about prioritizing positional needs, General Manager Mike Grier emphasizes that selecting the best player available is the strategy. With potential right-shot defensemen still on the board, the Sharks have a chance to fill that need in the coming rounds, which adds excitement to the draft, beginning at 9 a.m. PT.
While Sharks fans thought it was a mistake given the team's desperate need for defensive prospects, Grier has never wavered from his belief that the team is currently in the position of taking the best player on the board and not drafting for position.
Today is a new day, however, and that means that there's another chance for the Sharks to draft a defenseman and a right-shot one at that.
The second round of the NHL draft starts at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET.
