Kurtenbach: Sharks GM Mike Grier is acing this critical offseason
Briefly

The Sharks have been wheeling and dealing ahead of their draft on Friday and Saturday, with the latest and biggest move coming Thursday when general manager Mike Grier moved up from No. 14 to No. 11 in the first round.
Moving up to No. 11 only increases the likelihood that the Sharks can fulfill that mandate of adding two cornerstone players on Friday.
There are two names to watch now that the Sharks are at No. 11: Cole Eiserman, a 17-year-old wing who played with Celebrini, and Calgary Hitmen defenseman Carter Yakemchuk.
Yakemchuk is big at 6-foot-3, playing a heavy-metal brand of hockey, and is nothing if not entertaining with his unique style resembling learning hockey from a video game.
