After securing the No. 2 pick in the NHL Draft, Sharks GM Mike Grier indicated he is open to trading the pick for the right offer. With the New York Islanders winning the No. 1 pick, Grier remains uncertain about engaging them in discussions, especially as the Islanders lack a general manager following the firing of Lou Lamoriello. Matthew Schaefer is the expected first overall selection and is seen as an ideal fit for the Sharks. The Islanders may also consider trading down for a fan-favorite player, James Hagens.
Defenseman Matthew Schaefer, expected to be the first player taken in the draft, would have been an ideal fit for the Sharks, who have stockpiled several young forwards in recent years.
If Grier and the Sharks get a quality offer for the No. 2 pick, they're quite willing to entertain the possibility.
