Michael Misa, drafted second overall by the San Jose Sharks in the NHL Draft, expressed his determination to join the team by the upcoming season. He acknowledged the need to improve both physically and skill-wise during the summer. Selected after the first pick, Misa stands out as one of the best forwards available and aims to integrate with the Sharks' promising young players. Although jumping directly to the NHL from major junior hockey is uncommon, he aspires to make an immediate impact on the team.
My goal next year is to play in the NHL. I've got a big summer ahead of me. Got to get stronger, help myself on and off the ice. But that's my goal next year.
It's unbelievable. For San Jose to recognize me as this pick and head over there, it's going to be a great feeling.
Just help out in any way I can. I want to make an impact right away. Try and help any way I can.
It's unclear whether Misa, 18, will be ready in the NHL full-time this upcoming season. But in time, he projects to be a top-six forward.
